GELACTIVE NPK 13-6-6 FLAKES is one of the new formulations born in our research centre in collaboration with universities, thanks to the development of our new patented process technology GEL ACTIVE FOAM®. This technology, acting on pressures and temperatures during the production process, particularly in the thermobaric hydrolysis phase, allows the protein molecule to release regular fractions of amino acid chains, ensuring a more regular release of organic protein nitrogen, further enhanced by the physical form of flakes measuring approximately 2 mm. GELACTIVE NPK 13-6-6 FLAKES is an organo-mineral NPK fertiliser obtained through a reaction between mineral matrices and organic protein components. The formulation, with a low chlorine content, is characterised by a high content of organic nitrogen derived from scleroprotein, with natural slow release. The combination of different nitrogen forms – organic (2.5%) with slow mineralisation, ammoniacal (2%) and ureic (8.5%) – provides a differentiated, complete and prolonged nitrogen supply, suitable for supporting the vegetative growth throughout the entire crop cycle. The phosphates, reacting with the organic protein fraction (over 30%), are protected against insolubilisation processes, resulting in greater availability over time. The potassium from sulphate, fully assimilable, represent a quality index of the product, while the high content of sulphates contributes to the improvement the qualitative characteristics of the productions. GELACTIVE NPK 13-6-6 FLAKES is indicated for basal fertilisation of citrus, orchards, olive groves and vegetable crops. Spring application is recommended to improve nutrient availability during the early stages of the vegetative cycle. This formulation, like all those in the GELACTIVE FLAKES line, allows for a reduction of approximately 15-20% in application doses compared to a conventional pellet formulation, thanks to its improved agronomic efficiency.
