The Glenside product portfolio includes a broad range of biostimulants and fertilisers for a broad range of arable systems. 

 Glenside Soil Conditioning fertilisers enhance the natural fertility of the soil enabling it to play a key role in the production of profitable crops. 

Recognising the interdependence of soil, plant and animal, the skillful farmer manages his soil as the fundamental resource in a successfully integrated farm enterprise. 

• The key to growing crops profitably is not the number of units or kilograms of fertiliser applied every year but how efficiently they are used by the plants. 
• Soil fertility is more than just N, P, K out of the bag, it is about soil life, worms and microbes and the role they play in helping plant roots to access nutrients and trace elements in the soil. 
• It is for this reason that Glenside’s soil conditioning fertilisers create the right soil environment which means that plant roots are able to access nutrients and micro-nutrients more efficiently. This leads to profitable crop production from more efficient use of applied fertilisers reducing both the quantity needed or required and the wastage from leaching. 
• In the Cation Exchange process the plant’s roots absorb many of the nutrients essential for growth. The process works through the secretion of exudates by the root hairs which contain positively charged hydrogen ions. 
• The hydrogen ions are effectively ‘traded’ by the plant for the positively charged cations of calcium, magnesium, potassium, sodium and trace elements. The plant absorbs 70% of the cations it needs through the cation exchange process, hence imbalances of cations on the clay colloids, also known as the ‘base’, prevents the plant from taking up a proper balance of essential nutrients.
