GATEWAY
SPECIALLY FORMULATED FOR UK GRASSLANDS
Overview
A worthwhile and cost effective method of improving soil drainage and reducing water logging and compaction creating a drier and healthier environment for your Horse/Pony
We know how compacted soils In your paddocks costs you money. We Also Know How Using GATEWAY Can Lessen Compaction
Water must be able to move freely in the soil - both down in times of high rainfall and back via capillary action in times of drought. Water logged or drought prone soil is most likely to be suffering from compaction. A well-structured soil will hold water and oxygen in the correct amounts allowing grass to breath.
This also encourages production of the vast array of beneficial micro-organisms that will go a long way towards addressing the compaction issue, encouraging worms in to aerate. Many of the best soils have critical water management problems. Applying GATEWAY will help excess water to move through the soil allowing in the air with the subsequent benefits of improved biological activity and humus building. GATEWAY is a worthwhile and cost effective method of improving soil drainage and reducing soil shear strength.
How does it work?
Water must be able to move through the soil easily, both down in wet periods (heavy rain and winter) but also up by capillary action in times of drought and low rain periods.
​
GATEWAY can be used to improve water infiltration, by breaking down the adhesion forming compaction. It stimulates root development, thus improving aeration and allowing the roots to obtain essential nutrients, thereby encouraging and increasing biological activity.
​GATEWAY contains a unique formulation of Soil Emollients and Natural Humic Acids with a range of biological and natural plant growth stimulants, that will improve soil life and increase Humus levels. Together, these will produce a stronger and healthier grass that is less susceptible to disease in a soil that drains more freely, allowing quicker access after watering or wet weather.
Organics, NVZs and environment
We recently got the results from Future Bio-gas, who ran independent 1 year trials, applying Bio-N at the 4 leaf stage in some field scale trials, in a low yielding trial in a very challenging situation.
Very high pH, low Mg and very little organic matter. We got an excellent and significant response with a yield increase of 3.46 t/ha over the control plots, which followed the standard fertiliser guidelines in RB209.
​This was a gross profit of £120/ha and a net profit of £90/ha when the cost of the Bio-N application was taken into account. (The application rate of Bio-N has since been adjusted slightly)
Bio-N is organically approved and is a REVELATION for ORGANIC producers. One application will provide a slow steady release of nitrogen for any growing crop for the entire season.
The nitrogen in Bio-N is 100% efficient (why would the bacteria fix more than is required?) therefore leaching and run-off are zero. Ideal for NVZ’s and doesn't count towards your farm N-Max limits.
​Reduce your carbon footprint with Bio-N as nitrogen is fixed in the soil, compared to artificial fertilisers e.g. Urea manufacture will release 11.19kg of CO2 equivalent per kilogram of N to the atmosphere.

Summary
Stable nitrogen offers numerous benefits, including no volatilisation or leaching, leading to lower costs and reduced nitrate levels.
It improves air and water movement in the soil and requires a smaller storage area. Additionally, it enhances animal health compared to artificial nitrogen pastures and extends the shelf life of foods.
Furthermore, stable nitrogen reduces disease pressure from pathogens such as Fusarium and Phytophthora.
