About SlurryBugs
SlurryBugs & Booster is a unique bacteria and micronutrient formulation which brings together soil-originating bacteria with essential micro-nutrients to maintain a balanced microbial environment in your slurry.
The SlurryBugs bacteria digest through slurry surface crusting, reduce smells, make the slurry easier to handle and significantly increase fertiliser value as well as improving soil microbial activity over time.
Nitrogen retention
The combined action of the naturally-occurring bacteria and enzymes in "SlurryBugs" with our unique micro-nutrient supplement "SlurryBooster" retains 70% of the nitrogen that would normally be lost to the atmosphere as ammonia gas (odour).
Phosphate and potassium
The extra phosphate and potassium retained within the slurry also becomes more available for plant growth, which can be seen in the latest trial results by Lancaster University which show a doubled phosphorous content in the SlurryBugs treated slurry in comparison to the untreated slurry after 5 weeks.
Liquefied slurry
SlurryBugs & Booster keeps the organic matter of slurry in a homogenous form which makes the slurry easier to pump and more easily taken up into the root structure. As a result, the need for pit stirring is reduced which saves diesel costs and time as crusting and odour are diminished.
By adding the "SlurryBooster" micro-nutrient the bacteriological growth of the "SlurryBugs" and their enzyme production is increased, enabling more urea to be converted into ammonia and then organic Nitrogen.
The Range
SlurryBugs "Crust Buster"
This New super concentrate formula allows you to experience all the highly effective benefits already provided by the original SlurryBugs but provides double the power for initial applications or extreme crust situations. To be used in conjunction with the Slurry Booster micronutrient pack.
SlurryBugs
SlurryBugs is composed of a combination of freeze dried bacteria and enzymes in powder form which is to be used after initial treatments of "Crust Buster." SlurryBugs is to be used in conjunction with the Slurry Booster micronutrient pack and mixed with warm water prior to application to slurry tanks.
Slurry Booster
Slurry Booster is a micronutient solution which is to be used in conjunction with either Crust Buster and SlurryBugs. Slurry Booster provides the vital nutrients necessary for the SlurryBugs bacteria to flourish and increases the bacterial activity of the SlurryBugs by up to 8 times. Available as a complementary supplement alongside SlurryBugs and Crust Buster.
Typically slurry is rich in organic waste (macro-nutrients) but deficient in micro-nutrients. Yet it is micro-nutrients that are required by aerobic bacteria such as "SlurryBugs" in order to divide and thrive in slurry. "SlurryBooster" was formulated to solve this micro-nutrient deficiency problem in slurry by providing the SlurryBugs with the micro-nutrients they require to achieve metabolism of ammonia and to populate the slurry lagoon at a significantly increased rate.
