OUTSTANDING RESULTS IN PEST RESISTANCE AND YIELDS
VERMATE GROW
Boost Your Horticultural Productivity with Cutting-edge Biological Fertilizer, VermateGro, by Wilhelm Joubert – Farmer, Microbiologist, Biochemist.
Inspired by Vermate’s success, Wilhelm adapted its formula to develop VermateGro. By integrating microbial diversity with fermented trace minerals from kelp and seaweed, VermateGro became the efficient and cost-effective solution for horticulture that it is. It complements existing fertilizer programs, aiming to improve their results without altering proven systems.
Proven Success in Crop Production
For years, VermateGro has shown outstanding results in the onion and carrot seed industry, significantly improving pest resistance, crop yield, and seed quality. Notably, Jaco Olivier’s seed onions in the Prins Albert area exhibited remarkable pest resistance, increased yield, and a germination rate of 95% with VermateGro.
His product,Vermate, marked the beginning of Wilhelm’s mission to combat agricultural challenges. Initially, it featured a diverse range of microbial organisms, yielding remarkable results in the horse industry. Incorporating trace minerals into the formula significantly amplified its efficacy, transforming Vermate into a powerhouse product. In the ostrich industry, Vermate boosted young birds’ survival rates from 75% to 97%, demonstrating the profound impact of microbial and trace mineral diversity on animals.
Motivated by a driving belief that if microbial and trace mineral diversity has this impact on animals it will work for plants as well he developed VermateGro.
Meet Wilhelm Joubert: Microbiologist, Biochemist, and Farmer
Wilhelm Joubert, with a lifelong background in farming and agriculture, is an innovative microbiologist and biochemist. Raised amidst vegetable and banana farms and livestock in Hoedspruit, Limpopo, and Hazyview, Mpumalanga, Wilhelm’s fascination with micro-organisms and their critical role in life forms propelled him towards groundbreaking solutions in agriculture.
Witnessing the relentless challenges farmers face from pests and diseases, Wilhelm dedicated himself to finding biological alternatives.
Tackling Agricultural Issues with Biological Alternatives
His journey led to the creation of three revolutionary products over the past 25 years:
Vermate
A probiotic and micromineral supplement for the livestock and sporting horse industry.
Thermal Mud
An external treatment for wounds and muscle injuries in sporting horses and livestock.
VermateGro
Beneficial microbes with trace minerals addressing pest and disease issues, enhancing yield in horticulture farming.
