Activate Carbon
Plant-Based Carbon for Soil Biology
Activate is a plant-based carbon soil conditioner designed to feed microbial activity, support biological energy production, and improve nutrient cycling in the root zone.
ACTIVATE CARBON
Feeds Biology. Builds Soil Function. Supports Plant Performance.
Plant-based carbons act as a primary food source for bacteria and fungi living around the plant root zone. Activate is designed to support that biological exchange by providing carbon and key elements that help stimulate microbial energy production, microbial reproduction, and root-zone activity.
When used as part of the Happy Soils program, Activate helps newly introduced and existing microbial colonies multiply faster, improving the biological performance of the soil and supporting stronger crop function.
How Activate Works
Activate supports the biological exchange between plants and soil microbes by providing plant-based carbon and key elements that help fuel microbial energy production in the root zone.
Feeds Microbial Activity
Plant-based carbon provides a food source for bacteria and fungi living around the root zone.
Stimulates Biological Reproduction
Activate helps support microbial colony formation and multiplication when used with the Happy Soils program.
Supports Nutrient Cycling
Improved biological activity helps make nutrients more available for plant uptake.
Improves Root-Zone Function
By supporting microbial activity around the roots, Activate helps improve soil function and crop performance.
Key Benefits of Activate Carbon
Activate is designed to support biological soil function, improve microbial activity, and help plants access nutrients more efficiently as part of a complete Happy Soils program.
Improves Soil Biology
Helps feed microbial populations around the root zone and supports biological activity in the soil.
Supports Nutrient Availability
Supports the biological processes that help make nutrients more available for plant uptake..
Strengthens Crop Function
Assists root-zone activity and plant performance by improving microbial energy production.
Works With the Full Program
Designed to work alongside Energise, Heal nā Shield Liquid, and Heal nā Shield Granules.
Application Guidance
Activate is commonly applied through boom sprayers, under-tree sprinklers, drip systems, micro-irrigation, overhead sprinklers, travelling irrigators, and pivot systems.
Application rates depend on crop type, soil condition, water volume, equipment, and the broader Happy Soils program being used. For commercial agriculture, Activate is usually matched to a farm-specific program after review.
