THE SOLUTION FOR HEALTHY SOIL
Soil is a living system filled with biological life we can’t always see. It supports microscopic organisms that form part of the soil environment. A lot of this activity occurs in the rhizosphere, the area immediately around the roots of the crop. Crops exchange carbohydrates to the microbes in return for access to nutrients and water, among a host of other functions.
For microbes to thrive, they need organic material as a food source. In healthy soil, the organic compounds are naturally cycled through the soil, but too often farming practices deplete the soil of these natural resources. By changing our management systems, we keep soils healthy for the future. Crops have higher productivity in healthy soils and experience less stress.
The Rhizovator™ range has been formulated to support soil health and encourage biological diversity. Combining a range of biostimulants into each product, the Rhizovator™ range can help the crop access more nutrients and water. Improving the biological diversity also makes the soil environment more resistant to diseases.
Reducing disease and improving nutrient uptake means plants have more energy for growth.

APPLICATION
Apply Rhizovator™ to crops and soils where an increase in beneficial microbes is required or when the crop is under stress and limited in the amount of sugars it can release from the roots.
This product must be applied to the soil and can be diluted for ease of application. For the best results on sandy soil a combination application with K-humate is recommended.

OMNIBIO™ ANALYSIS
MANAGE YOUR MICROBES ACCURATELY
WITH A OMNIBIO™ ASSESSMENT
In sustainable agriculture, a healthy and balanced soil microbial community is essential. Of these microbes, bacteria and fungi are considered some of the key biological indicators of soil fertility.
The management of soil biological life starts with an OmniBio™ analysis, which forms a signifi cant part of Omnia’s Nutriology concept. This analysis provides the farmer with a crop-specifi c proposal, focusing on the major biological indicators found in the soil.
An assessment of enzyme activity provides a unique window into soil microbial activity. An OmniBio™ analysis offers enzyme assays as a means of determining a microbial population’s potential to degrade or convert carbon, phosphorus and nitrogen substrates to plant-available nutrients.
OMNIBIO™ TECHNOLOGY
Provides an exclusive microbial assessment, which is aimed at servicing the farm, potentially increasing yields, giving farmers better quality crops, helping plants resist disease and stress, and, most importantly, understanding the soil’s microbial life for improved, sustainable crop management.
HIGH PERFORMANCE BIOLOGY
Bacstim™ 100 works with the crop’s root system to increase nutrient uptake, leading to higher biomass production above and below the ground
WHY BACTISM™100?
Plants work closely with the microbes that live around their roots for a multitude of reasons. Bacstim™ 100 is a way to introduce highly bene cial bacillus species into the root zone to:
-
Improve nutrient mineralization and uptake
-
Produce phytohormones encouraging root growth
-
Increase leaf chlorophyll levels
-
Increase crop biomass and yield
-
The microbes in Bacstim™ 100 have the ability to form spores when conditions are poor, and then regrow again once conditions improve.
-
Bacstim™ 100 is produced to Omnia’s strict speci cations to ensure consistent product quality and performance.

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.
