WHAT IS LIQUIMATE™ 14 ?
Liquimate™ 14 is an acid compatible humate-based micronutrient containing liquid used with conventional acid clear liquid fertilizers to supplement micronutrients and stimulate early root growth. It is placed with liquid fertilizer in the conventional manner, i.e. 5cm away from and under the seed.
BENEFITS OF HUMIC ACIDS
Humic acids are naturally derived from broken down organic matter and are used as a soil conditioner to stimulate root and plant growth. Humic substances can hold a wide range of macro and micronutrients around developing roots, making it readily available for plant uptake. This enables seedlings to establish quicker. Another benefit of humic acid is that it increases the plant's tolerance to environmental stress conditions.
MICRONUTRIENT SUPPLEMENTS
Micronutrients are essential for optimal plant growth and crop yield, but they are often neglected and not included in standard fertilizer programmes. LIQUIMATE™ 14 supplies all the essential micronutrients in chelated form and in well-balanced quantities.
-
Iron for chlorophyll and photosynthesis;
-
Manganese - the bridge between ATP and the enzyme complex;
-
Zinc for nitrogen metabolism;
-
Copper for synthesis/stability of chlorophyll as well as protein and carbohydrate metabolism;
-
Molybdenum for nitrogen use efficiency (NUE); and
-
Boron for growth, flowering and fruit development.
WHEN TO APPLY LIQUIMATE™ 14?
-
Sandy and highly leached soils low in organic matter, especially in the Free State and Northwest provinces;
-
The specific formulation is based on a vast survey of soil and tissue analyses representative of these areas;
-
LIQUIMATE™ 14 is compatible with acid clear liquid fertilizers;
-
Can be used in fertigation systems.

OUR FUTURE
Our advanced biostimulant products are a significant growth driver of our Agriculture business, and global industry growth projections for biostimulant fertilizers indicate that this trajectory is likely to continue. We plan to substantially increase our share of this growth by unlocking new markets in Southeast Asia, South America and the Middle East, and by expanding our existing markets in the US and Europe.
We will continue to focus on strengthening our business in Africa through our strategic distribution partnerships in key territories.
In South Africa, our growth initiatives include expanding our AgTech offerings and collaborating with the animal feed industry through our Agri Sciences sector in our Chemicals segment. These initiatives will help us access new and exciting markets so that we can ensure our sustainability and resilience throughout the agronomic cycle.
Omnia Agriculture plays a pivotal role in supporting the growth of the agricultural sector. Through this segment, we develop and deliver products that nourish soil and improve crop performance, hence helping to boost food production, sustain livelihoods, and create jobs.
Our Agriculture segment produces and trades in ammonia, speciality ammonia, direct application fertilizers and AgriBio biostimulants. Our competitive edge is our Nutriology® model, which is based on the science of growing, promoting resource efficiency, optimising yields and crop quality to maximise returns, and reducing farming and environmental risks. It is made possible by the largest ISO 17025-accredited soil testing lab in Africa and our remarkable investment in agricultural technology.
