1	MALTaflor^®Symbio patented Highly effective ecological fertilising + mycorrhizing in one single action. Awarded with the Regional Environmental Prize of the German State of Rheinland-Pfalz
2	Problems Cultivation of plants and forestation on critical or extreme locations is most difficult (and sometimes impossible) with conventional methods : sterile, sour, poor or dry soils, heavy-metal-containing, toxic and contaminated soils, re-cultivation areas, sanitary landfills, highway embankments, salinated areas, maccia, steppes, deserts, mountains, slopes, erosion areas
3	Problems health-, water- and soil-burdening through increased fertilisation water stress due to lack of rainfall after transplantation and after implantation at site great losses, low growth rates, lack in vitality of plants, pathogens, low profits erosion
4	The Biological Way in nature, nearly all plants occur in natural symbiosis with fungi (mycorrhizae) mycorrhizae provide their host plants with: + protection + water + nutrients + mechanical strength = vitality = Selection Advantage
5	Protection mycorrhizae balance the pH value in the substrate, they degrade toxic substances mycorrhizae increase heavy-metal and salt tolerance of plants and trees mycorrhizae make plants and trees resistant to parasites, vermins and other pathogens mycorrhizae protect plants and trees against desiccation and water stress
6	Water and Nutrients mycorrhizae supply water to their host plants from great distances, depths, and out of soil adherence mycorrhizae gain, store and provide great amounts of nutrients and make them available to the plants, always in full accordance with their actual requirements
7	Mechanical Strength mycorrhizae protect the sensible fine roots, like a coat, against mechanical stresses during transport, transplantation, cultivation, etc. mycorrhizae improve the soil structure with expanding networks of hyphae, and thereby they stabilise plants and soils.
8	Fertilisation Vs. Mycorrhiza However, mycorrhizae react very sensitively to nitrogen: at high fertilisation levels (as wanted in tree nurseries, etc.) these fungi simply die (viz. AFZ 8, 1992). Previously, in order to protect the existing mycorrhizae, no efficient fertilisation was possible at the same time when mycorrhization took place. In later stages of the cultivation the possibilities of additional fertilisation were highly restricted.

12	The Solution: The Newly Patented Product MALTaflor^®Symbio Purely Natural Fertiliser + Mycorrhiza Inoculum Spread – Stir in – Ready
13	Patented decades of international research and experience led to the patent of MALTaflor^®Symbio which is the foundation of our new bio-high-tech-products with MALTaflor^®Symbio the simultaneous use of mycorrhiza + fertiliser is possible for the very first time - very easy - most effective - - highly economical -

15	MALTaflor^®Symbio the mycorrhiza-fungi, contained in MALTaflor^®Symbio, actively grow out of the fertiliser-pellets towards the sprouting fine roots, and thus create a new fungi network within the substrate with MALTaflor^®Symbio, the plants are always on line with their nutrients
16	MALTaflor^®Symbio in MALTaflor^®Symbio, only the most efficient mycorrhiza-fungi are being used, in close touch with the most actual research the positive powers of MALTaflor^®Symbio go much further than the added-up properties of its individual components MALTaflor^®Symbio = Synergy Effect
17	Which Plant ? – Which Fungus? ligneous plants mostly need ecto-mycorrhiza (many foliage trees and conifers, deciduous trees, leaf wood). culture plants need endo-mycorrhiza(AM), (tropical trees, herbaceous plants, fruit trees, grass and vegetables). * ask us for respective lists
18	Products MALTaflor^® Symbio ”H” "H" for ligneous plants ecto-mycorrhiza for many foliage trees and conifers / deciduous trees / leaf wood. MALTaflor^®Symbio ”K” "K" for tropical trees, herbaceous plants and fruit trees endo-mycorrhiz(AM) for ornamental and vegetable plants.
19	MALTaflor^® Symbio H Fertiliser + Ecto – Mycorrhiza -Inoculum few losses high growth rates very vital and healthy trees resistance to pathogens high yields
20	MALTaflor^® Symbio H health, water and soil protection best water supply, even when rainfalls are lacking or scarce after transplantation and application on site successful cultivation on highly problematic sites increases salt tolerance stops and prevents erosion
21	MALTaflor^®Symbio K better root-formation better alimentation with nutrients highly resistant to pathogens successful re-cultivation of heavy-metal burdened and toxic soils, and of sanitary landfills high salt tolerance stops and prevents erosion
22	MALTaflor^®Symbio MALTaflor^®SymbioH and Kare purely natural fertilisers MALTaflor^®Symbio^’s major ingredients are fine malt-germs MALTaflor^®Symbiofertilisersstimulate the soil life (which is ecologically of utmost importance)
23	MALTaflor^®Symbio contains only pure vegetable ingredients, therefore it is devoid of pollutants, and thus it is ecologically extremely beneficial is 100% devoid of any animal ingredients or animal products being 80% organic, it upgrades the soil creates strong and healthy plants
24	MALTaflor^®Symbio long-term fertilising effect throughout the entire growth period of a plant provides gentle nourishment to plants by gradually releasing the nutrients safe and simple to use - accurate spreading property is ensured high yields, due to optimal composition of plant nutrients
25	MALTaflor^®Symbio highly effective, due to its efficient high-grade nutrients outstanding ecological and plant-cultivating properties universally suitable for all plants and trees in orchards, forests, tree nurseries, ornamental or vegetable gardens
26	MALTaflor^®Symbio H and K guarantee the successful formation of mycorrhizae awarded with the German Environmental Prize of the State of Rheinland-Pfalz
27	Nutrients nitrogen (N) 5 % phosphate (P₂O₅) 3 % potassium (K₂O) 5 % magnesium (MgO) 1 % organic substances 80 %
28	Ecology MALTaflor^®Symbio stops and prevents erosion MALTaflor^®Symbio initiates the natural development of a biologically highly functional soil life, prerequisite for optimal plant production and yields MALTaflor^®Symbio systematically builds up new zones of vegetation, starting out from a poor environment of little water and few nutrients
29	Application the very effective method of depot-fertilising + mycorrhizing with MALTaflor^® Symbio in only a single action is revolutionarily easy and universally suitable for all branches of plant production one should mix MALTaflor^®Symbio into the substrate before planting, as the plants will have their nutrients and the advantage of mycorrhiza-symbiosis from the very first moment on
30	Application later mixing of MALTaflor^®Symbio into the substrate is also possible. Fertilisation and mycorrhization will not be less effective MALTaflor^®Symbio can also be sprayed onto the surface of the substrate as a suspension
31	Guarantee our products are free of genetic manipulations, and they are free of animal powders our products are optimised and authorised for ecological farming (“BIO-Land”) we hereby certify that both our products MALTaflor^®Symbio H and MALTaflor^®Symbio K fully comply with the respective EU-decree on ecological agriculture ("Ökologischer Landbau" - 2092/92/EWG)
