DIATOMACEOUS EARTH for agriculture

From Backyard plots to farming

Aus Diatomaceous Earth is an Australian owned supplier of high quality Diatomaceous Earth (DE), also known as Diatomite due to its high quality. Our Diatomite consists of a complex and diverse framework allowing many beneficial applications.

Our Freshwater Diatomaceous Earth is 100% natural, uncalcined and distinguished in high quality since it was formed more recently during the Pleistocene to Recent Ages. This resulting in a higher amount of Amorphous Silica which is terrific for promoting plant growth.

Also listing encourages beneficial microbial soil activity, increases water holding capacity, aids nutrient retention. Micro nutrients can be absorbed in the root system and trans locate into the cell wall.

Diatomaceous Earth is an excellent soil amender, its addition to soil improves silicon and cation concentrations necessary for plant growth. Diatomaceous Earth contains amorphous silicon dioxide, which has micro nutrients that can be absorbed in the root system and trans-locate into the cell wall. The silica content of diatomaceous earth is absorbed into plant tissue and helps improve plant structure.

BENEFITS

WHY OUR DE

Plants require silicon in soluble form (known as Plant Available Silica(PAS)) to be absorbed for growth, protection and reproduction.
The diatom structure of AUS DE makes it unique in containing PAS.
AUS DE promotes increased plant growth and stem/leaf thickness. This will lead to increased plant’s resistance to pests and diseases, and reduced effects of drought.
AUS DE may improve farming yields.
AUS DE West Australian diatom is “boat shaped” making it unique.
AUS DE comes in powder form and is lightweight
