Research Papers

Elemental has had various independent and observational pot, field and immune trials undertaken. We continue to run long term assessments of crop yield improvements and the soil fertility and biodiversity needed to optimise soil and plant health.

Our focus is on optimising the performance of arable and grazing livestock systems, using technology to enhance and reform a food production system that is thousands of years old – from soil to plate and back again.

The science in these selected studies below is directly targeted at some of the UK’s most pressing agricultural challenges: improving productivity, using resources more efficiently, lifting soil health and structure, enhancing wildlife and landscape biodiversity, reducing the carbon footprint and raising the nutritional quality of crop and livestock produce.

To help us refine and test our organo-mineral fertiliser to achieve these aims we have contracted the internationally renowned independent experts at Rothamsted Research to conduct trials since 2015.

The fertiliser we discovered is remarkably similar to the initial fertiliser developed by Sir John Bennet Lawes, their founder, some 175 years ago. The key difference being ours is faster to make, customisable and biologically enriched with micronutrients and soluble carbon compounds.

We continue to run long term
assessments of the improvements
we anticipate in soil fertility and
biodiversity needed to optimise
soils and plant health.

Beginning in 2013 Elemental has had various independent and observational pot, field and immune trials undertaken. We continue to run long term assessments of crop yield improvements and the soil fertility and biodiversity needed to optimise soil and plant health.

While observational trials and feedback from our partner farmers are useful to guide our formulas, it’s the independent research and scientific publications that anchor our approach to ensuring science and nature are optimised.

Fertiliser produced from abattoir waste can contribute to phosphorus sustainability, and biofortify crops with minerals

PLOS ONE is the journal of choice for authors who want their research to be available to all, immediately and without restriction. Articles are highly discoverable and accessible to researchers both in and outside of their discipline.

Rising CO2 Increases Plant Growth at the Cost of Nutrient Density

Researchers at the University of Washington collaborated with scientists at USDA, as well as others in Japan, China and Australia, for more than two years to study how rising carbon dioxide in the atmosphere could affect rice — humanity’s most important crop. They found that it not only loses protein and minerals but is also likely to lose key vitamins as plants adapt to a changing environment.

Fertiliser Blends

Our patented process technology recovers and converts valuable nutrients from animal by-products and reformulates them into a high-value Organo-Mineral Fertiliser.

Brands

Our fertiliser products are marketed under the Thallo^® brand. Thallo means "blooming" or "green- shoots" and is the Greek goddess of flowering plants, buds and green shoots in spring.

Benefits

Thallo^® is a multi-staged release and sustainable fertiliser enhancing yields, soil biodiversity, plant health and sequestering greenhouse gases.

Completing the cycle

Nutrients and microbes in the soil nourish the plants that begin the food chain and feed us all. The end of that chain has been largely ignored, crowding landfills and going unused. Elemental completes the cycle by returning those nutrients and microbes to the soil to feed the next cycle.

Where is it used?

The Thallo^® high-density granules enable the product to be used for different applications
