RURAL PEOPLE » SPCA: Dr Arnja Dale At the heart of Penergetic’s product range is working in harmony with nature and using natural processes to treat root causes of problems, rather than the symptoms. The Swiss-headquarted company’s approach is based on values: respectful interaction with humans, animals, plants and the environment, focusing onmaking a positive contribution to address future challenges. Penergetic technology relies on bio-stimulation, using selected combinations of low-frequency electromagnetic ields copied frompure, natural substances. Twenty years of development preceding 20 plus years of on-farm experience has re ined the applications of its products to achieve more optimal results. Penergetic’s fully-developed agricultural range of products covers soil, plants, compost, farm e luent, animals and water. Bio-stimulation activates soil microbiology, optimises photosynthesis, accelerates composting, assists aerobic decomposition of farm e luent, improves animal digestion, and revitalises water. Root-exudates increase andmycorrhizal fungi proliferate with the symbiotic exchange. More humus forms, soils become naturally fertile, more water permeable and drought tolerant. Plants are healthier, higher yielding and more pest and disease tolerant which directly bene its pasture-grazing animals in health and growth. Penergetic opened in New Zealand in Working in harmony with nature April last year with Stuart Chaney, who comes from an extensive corporate management and inancial background in Australasia, taking up the Penergetic distribution rights for New Zealand. “Penergetic’s mission is to provide farmers and agriculture in general with some new tools to transition away from chemical inputs tomore natural organic inputs that do an equivalent, or even better job, because they stimulate the natural processes,” Stuart says. “By using Penergetic products, you can expect to achieve improved soil structures, healthier and higher yielding plants and livestock and at the same time you can reduce reliance on chemicals and minimise your environmental impact.” Penergetic New Zealand can provide a consultation process to assess the needs of any agricultural system and to recommend custom solutions from its range of products. Stuart recommends initially trialling a product on a small scale while reducing conventional inputs. As a system is transitioned from chemical inputs, biological activity is boosted and a system’s restorative process commences. With increasingly stringent regulations putting greater pressure on all sectors of New Zealand farmers, Penergetic products have an important future role in improving the quality of our soils and waterways. Penergetic’s claims of increased productivity are supported by numerous farmer’s testimonials, ield trials and scienti ic research on a great variety of crops world-wide. 0210 258 3325 admin@penergetic.co.nz www.penergetic.co.nz
