ABC (Animal Bone Char) BioPhosphate characteristics

1. ABC-BioPhosphate carrier for formulation

ABC-BioPhosphate is a natural, organic product with a highly macroporous structure and an economically concentrated content of recovered Phosphorus. Derived from Animal Bone Char (ABC), this safe and sustainable horticultural biofertilizer provides a natural phosphorus supply and supports plant growth promotion with multiple beneficial effects—particularly suited for organic and low-input farming systems.

The animal bone char–based ABC-BioPhosphate formulation contains:

  • Phosphorus (P₂O₅: ~35%) – efficiently available for plants, ensuring reliable nutrient supply.

  • Calcium (~37%) – enhancing soil structure, nutrient uptake, and plant resilience.

  • Additional trace elements (such as Fe, Zn, Cu) and nutrients like K and Mg, further supporting balanced plant nutrition.

This unique composition allows ABC-BioPhosphate to deliver efficient, environmentally safe, and naturally renewable phosphorus fertilization, reducing dependence on finite phosphate rock resources and contributing to a circular nutrient economy.

Importantly, Blank ABC-BioPhosphate serves as the carrier material and starting base for the production of microbiologically formulated Bio-NPK-C BioPhosphate products.
➡️ Please note: we do not sell the blank ABC-BioPhosphate directly, but exclusively the formulated products, which ensure optimized performance through microbial enrichment and balanced nutrient composition.

 

2. Formulated ABC-BioPhosphate product

2. Formulated ABC-BioPhosphate Product

The formulated ABC-BioPhosphate products are developed as BIO-NPK-C compound biofertilizers, tailored to specific user and market demands, and optimized for both organic and low-input farming systems.

In these formulations, the ABC-BioPhosphate carrier serves as a multifunctional base material enriched with beneficial soil microorganisms. These microbes are entrapped on the internal and external macroporous surfaces of the carrier, ensuring their protection, stability, and gradual release into the soil.

The application of formulated BioPhosphate products provides multiple benefits:

  • Plant growth promotion – natural nutrient release supports strong, healthy crop development.

  • Sustainable fertilization – renewable phosphorus and other nutrients (Ca, K, Mg, trace elements) ensure balanced plant nutrition.

  • Biopesticide effects – beneficial microbes contribute to natural plant protection and resilience.

  • Soil health improvement – the porous structure enhances soil aeration, water retention, and root growth.

  • Stimulation of microbial activity – supporting soil biodiversity, nutrient cycling, and long-term fertility.

  • Carbon sequestration & humus formation – contributing to climate mitigation and improved soil organic matter.

As a result, the formulated BioPhosphate significantly increases soil health, biodiversity, and resilience, while remaining safe, sustainable, and adaptable to the diverse climatic and soil conditions of the EU.

A variety of 3R-specific ABC-BioPhosphate grades and formulations are available, depending on the input material and the applied carbonization process—ensuring the right solution for every agricultural application.

Ten reasons

why do you need  

🔑 Why Phosphorus is the “Web of Life” and a Critical Concern for Global Food Security:

  1. Phosphorus (P) is an essential nutrient—the "web of life"—vital for crop production and animal farming.
    👉 No Phosphorus = No Agriculture = No Food
  2. The EU imports >88% of its phosphate supply, mostly in mineral form, which contains toxic contaminants like Cadmium, Uranium, and other heavy metals.
  3. In 2024, Phosphate has been officially listed by the European Commission as a Critical Raw Material due to its high supply risk.
  4. 📈 Global food demand is rapidly increasing, which directly drives up the demand for phosphorus—a non-substitutable nutrient for agriculture.
  5. ⚠️ Finite phosphate resources:
    • Low-contaminant mineral phosphate reserves are already depleted.
    • What remains are highly contaminated reserves, posing health and environmental hazards.
  6. 🌍 Geopolitical vulnerability:
    • Only 5 countries control 88% of global phosphate rock reserves.
    • This creates a major national food security risk, especially for import-dependent regions like the EU.
  7. ♻️ System inefficiency:
    • A large portion of used phosphorus ends up in waste streams.
    • There is little to no recovery in the conventional agri-food system.
  8. 🧪 Cheap fertiliser is a thing of the past:
    • The era of low-cost, accessible phosphorus is over.
    • Farmers are facing rapid cost increases and supply uncertainties.
  9. 💥 Fertiliser crisis since 2022:
    • A >300% increase in phosphorus prices has been observed.
    • Driven by geopolitical instability, including supply disruptions, energy costs, and trade barriers.
