investor presentation on web states the following

83% of all fertiliser used in Brazil
is applied to four crops*, which
are all located close to Arapua:

No im not confused ..it was an articles words not mine It was addressing the generic term 'rock dust' as though all were the same.It was stating that it can vary in its constituents and choice will depend on these constituents and whether it is whats needed by a particular crop and particular soil..which sounds obvious to me.
KP have mined within an area where there is a lot of established crop growing so they state so im confused about your statement indicating that the soil wont be fit for years to come.You both cant be right.Anyway hoping for some clarification in the next 2 weeks maybe.

So the consumers needs will vary according to their particular situation.So KPfertil may not be appropriate to all farmers but hope it is to quite a few especially as intensive farming is set to be a future trend

With reference to bopd situation
Will Any Rock Dust Do?
If soil hasn’t the right nutrient mix to match the crop, then using any old rock dust may not help, and could even prove toxic to some degree. Depending on the source, rock elements will vary as will the needs of different soils in different areas.growing different crops.

Boral suggests blending different types of rock dust, such as granites and river gravel, plus added minerals, to make up for any deficiency. While commercial enterprises do various rock dust mixes to broaden the spectrum of minerals, this still may not suit your soil’s individual requirements.

November Q/A ....ask away when it arrives.Hope 2 people on here in particular will put their points across after all they have put enough hours in .

Good lick

Well just stating research into product no matter where it is

Is one date classification as a remineralizer ie end of 2018 but the later date a full mining license ie June 2019?
Q/A session in mid November i think

Altho i did find this which contradicts the June 2018 announcement

Registration of KPfértil as a Remineraliser



Harvest Minerals Limited, the AIM listed fertiliser development company, is pleased to announce that it has submitted an application to register its product, KPfértil, as a remineraliser to the Brazilian Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock and Supply ('MAPA'). The application is expected to be approved by the end of the year.

I seems to remember a certain person cast doubt over whether rock crushing was actually being carried out .Now it seems not only does that person know its being carried out but also thinks other processes goin on.as well

As i understand MAPA cerification can take 12 months .Was applied for in June 2018 so could take till June 2019.Asking every day id futile and tiresome....unless the aim is to sow seeds of doubt (pun intended)

What other process has it under gone then besides crushing?

Why Quisad ,,share with the class and please dnt talk in code or riddles

5% to 24% P2O5, over apatite-rich kamafugitic rocks

so not a 0/0/0 which would have 0 P2O5

I mean it is after all called KP fertil not NKP fertil and fertil could mean fertile as apposed to fertilizer

dnt know exact composition but def has phosphorous and potassium in among other minerals but no nitrogen as far as i know.Not all about mineral content tho also about physical properties

its not a fertilizer .....clealy info info fallen on fertile ground

Answers on a postcard

So a remineralizer helps retain more expensive fertilizers which are leached away from the soil and also unlock nutrients .Often used in conjunction with fertilizers and means farmer will need to buy less of the expensive fertilizer which is the financial incentive

Just to clarify
The volcanic rocks often contain very good levels of essential macro and micro elements and micro-nutrients. Rock-dust on it's own is not a fertiliser, for it lacks the qualifying levels of nitrogen, potassium and phosphorus.

The benefit of the addition of a quality volcanic rock dust to the soil is in the remineralisation that takes place. This is the return of minerals to the soil which had been lost by erosion, leaching, and / or over-farming.

Volcanic Rock dust can be added to soil to improve fertility and has been tested since 1993 at the Sustainable Ecological Earth Regeneration Centre (SEER Centre) in Straloch, near Pitlochry, in Perth and Kinross, Scotland. Further testing has been undertaken by James Cook University, Townsville, Far North Queensland.

SEER’s research claims that the benefits of adding rock dust to soil include increased moisture holding properties in the soil, improved cation exchange capacity and better soil structure and drainage. Rock dust also provides calcium, iron, magnesium, silica, phosphorus and potassium, plus trace elements and micronutrients. By replacing these leached minerals it is claimed that soil health is increased and that this produces healthier plants.
