WHAT IS MEGA-KEL-P?
Mega-Kel-P is a specifically designed stress-management foliar which is unsurpassed for rapid crop recovery after environmental stress events such as pests, disease, waterlogging, heat stress, transplant shock, peak growth demand etc. As well as stress management Mega-Kel-P has become Omnia’s most successful and sought after foliar product for rapid, high level root stimulation, flowering, fruit retention and fruit sizing and as a general foliar to help healthier, more potent and more resilient crops perform over and above the norm.
Mega-Kel-P is a foliar, organically based nutrient combination. It is based on extracts from Tasmanian Bull Kelp and formulated with optimized ratios of NPK, essential chelated trace elements, amino acids, and fulvates. When combined these minerals and organic extracts stimulate and enhance photosynthesis and energy production and build stress resilience in crops. Mega-Kel-P is unique because it is the only product available that can deliver foliar available phosphorus, high quality Fulvic Acid (fulvate), micronutrients and the biostimulant power of kelp at such a high concentration in one solution. It also contains natural growth hormones, cytokins and auxins, that stimulate cell division and elongation
Mega-Kel-P results in better, stronger and healthier crops with improved yields and shelf life by improving the plants ability to assimilate and utilise minerals and nutrients as well as preconditioning prior to stress events which would otherwise cause far higher levels of crop loss.
APPLICATION
Applied as a foliar spray at specific stages of crop development, Mega-Kel-P provides the nutrient boost needed to optimise plant growth, fruit quality and size and improve yields.
Mega-Kel-P enhances root growth within days of application, generating a foliage flush which in turn improves fruit retention and size. Regular applications should be timed with key physiological growth stages such as flowering and fruit production.
Mega-Kel-P is also ideal for managing environmental stress either by pre-conditioning or post-stress applications. In these situations, Mega-Kel-P will force root production and kick start photosynthesis, thus minimising the impact on yield.
BENEFITS
Plants treated with Mega-Kel-P typically initiate a flush of root growth which triggers the following to occur:
-
Increased root area increases the plant’s ability to access more water and nutrients in the soil and the rate of uptake.
-
Stimulation of the plant to produce root exudates which stimulate biological activity in the root zone, improving the plant’s ability to access macro nutrients and trace elements.
-
An increase in carbohydrate production which the plant can then utilize for critical processes such as leaf growth, flower retention, fruit set or fruit sizing.
-
Improvement in stress resilience with increased speed of recovery following stress events such as heat, cold, waterlogging or moisture stress.

PROVEN PERFORMER
WEST, CENTRAL AND EAST AFRICAN AGRICULTURE
VEGETABLES
Mega-Kel-P is used across a wide variety of vegetable crops. A small-plot trial in East Gippsland, Victoria, showed an increase in broccoli yield after just 1 foliar application. In potatoes yield of tubers (>100mm diameter) was increased by 36% compared to the control following two applications of Mega-Kel-P.
TREE CROPS
Mega-Kel-P has been proven, both in trials and in commercial operations, to improve plant health, flowering, fruit-set, retention and sizing in tree crops including nuts, citrus, avocado and macadamia.
TABLE GRAPES
Two early applications of Mega-Kel-P as a foliar significantly increased bunch stretching, reducing the percentage of bunches less than 20cm.
WARM CLIMATE WINE GRAPES
Mega-Kel-P applied twice at early growth stages resulted in a yield increase of 13.4%.

OUR MARKETS
Omnia Agriculture delivers a premium product that provides high-margin opportunities. It is proving especially valuable in an environment that is increasingly focused on ESG and is rapidly transitioning to biological products.
In South Africa, we manufacture and trade in granular, liquid and speciality fertilizer, humates and other biostimulants, and provide other important value-added services and solutions. This approach has helped us to establish long-term, mutually beneficial partnerships that are critical to our sustainability and success.
We also supply Zambia, Mozambique and Zimbabwe, and boast a regional hub in Zambia with a state-of-the-art laser AgTech soil technology laboratory – a first in Africa. In addition, we export agricultural biostimulant products and water-soluble nutrients to more than 40 countries in Africa, the EU, Asia, and North and South America, among other regions.
OMNIA NUTRILOGY®
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.
