JRS Plant Cultivation

Optimizing and Managing Product Properties

Rheology control of liquid products 

Additives for rheology control are used for thickening, gelling, thixotropy, water retention or for sprayable and rinse-off-stable liquids. A further valuable property is the stabilization of suspensions against settling, floating and flocculation of insoluble particles.

Applications:
  • liquid fertilizers
  • bio-stimulants
  • plant health
  • plant protection
Control of viscosity, settling, rinse-off…

Carriers

JRS provides a broad portfolio of application-specific carriers for biological actives, biocides, repellents and fertilizers. These plant based carriers serve as a highly functional replacement for products on a synthetic or mineral basis.

Environmentally friendly products made from renewable raw materials offer a wide variety of different surfaces, pore volumes, grain sizes, cation exchange capacities and absorption-desorption rates.

Applications:
  • fertilizers
  • plant health
  • plant protection
  • bedding for beneficial insects
  • symbiotic fungi
  • biocontrol products
  • seed treatment
  • seed pelleting
Carriers for actives, repellents, efficient microorganisms …

Disintegration / Decay additives

Functional products to optimize disintegration and release of actives: Cellulose fibers mechanically treated in a special way give an "explosive effect" in tabs in the presence of water. 

Application:
  • fertilizers
  • tabs
  • tablets
  • control release
  • slow release
  • bio stimulants
  • plant protection
Fibers for fast desintegration and fast active release

Texturizing, Reinforcement, Filling agents

Plant fibers from different raw materials and with various particle structures are used purely or become part of compounds. They specifically improve the structure, texture, stability and other physical characteristics of dry mixes and their secondary solid products as well as liquid or pasty products.

Application:
  • extrusion
  • granulation
  • seed treatment
  • seed pelleting
  • incrustation
  • fertilizer granules
  • bio-stimulants
  • plant health
  • plant protection
Modification of texture and consistency by functional plant fibers

Flowability agents

In dry production processes, cellulose-based flowability agents ensure smooth processes. The special cubic particle structures have a minimum surface area and increase the free flow of bulk materials. As spacers and also by absorbing critical moisture, they prevent caking or bridging in the manufacturing process as well as clumping during storage of the end products.

Application:
  • seed treatment
  • seed pelleting
  • coatings
  • fertilizer granules
  • bio-stimulants
  • plant strengthening
  • plant protection
Free Flow of powders in the production process and in the final product

Water retention

The capillary effect of plant fibers guarantees a fast and persistent water uptake. In special substrates, they support the water management and assure a good plant availability. In gels and pastes, the water-storing cellulose derivatives prevent a fast dehydration and loss of consistency.    

Application: 
  • plant health
  • plant protection
  • substrate
Fast water uptake, big holding capacity and retention

Organic wetting agent for peat-based substrates

JRS produces the only FiBL-listed, plant fiber-based wetting agent. It is used for organic substrates and as a substitute for synthetic surfactants in conventional soils. The high efficiency allows operating quantities of 0.25% measured by the weight of substrate. Long-chained molecules provide a lasting effect for months unlike synthetic alternatives. The easy-to-use dry powder can also be prepared as dispersion and is completely harmless in terms of environment and human health.

Application: 
  • white peat
  • brown peat
  • peat-based substrates
Innovative Wetting agent for peat substrates based on functional plant fibers

Anti-dust, Dust reduction

Modified, fibrillated cellulose fibers are coated with a vegetable oil in a specific way. As an additive in manufacturing processes, premixes or end products, the anti-dust products bind dust and micro-particles. In this way, they improve health and safety at work, reduce material loss, cleaning time and cleaning effort in production.

Application:
  • fertilizers
  • crop protection
  • bio-stimulants
  • plant-health
Specific binding of dust and micro particles

Anti-Caking

Caking, incrustations or lump formation can be avoided by special JRS plant fibers. The cubic or round granules work as spacers, keeping the particles from sticking to each other. The second mechanism behind this effect is the absorption of a critical level of moisture that provokes the adhesion of the particles.    

Application: 
  • fertilizer granules
  • plant health
  • plant protection
Avoiding incrustation and lumps by functional plant fibers
