Functional fertilization with natural chitin – for healthy soil and plants

HiProSoil is a unique organic fertilizer based on Hermetia illucens frass. Thanks to the content of chitin and organic substances, it improves soil structure, increases its water retention capacity and supports the growth of beneficial microorganisms that promote healthy plant growth. It facilitates the regeneration of depleted soils and reduces the loss of nutrients.

Benefits

Activation of soil microbiota

Chitin stimulates the development of beneficial microorganisms and antagonistic bacteria, reduces pathogens and increases the biological activity of the soil.

Strengthening plant immunity

The presence of chitin activates the natural defense mechanisms of plants (elicitor effect), increasing their resistance to stress factors and diseases.

Improvement of soil structure

Organic fractions improve aeration, water retention capacity and facilitate the formation of soil aggregates. The soil becomes more permeable and stable.

Increase in fertility and nutrient availability

Humic acids and organic compounds support the binding of mineral nutrients in an available form, which improves the efficiency of mineral fertilization.

Natural antifungal and phytosanitary effect

Chitin limits the development of pathogenic fungi and supports beneficial soil microbiota.

Reduction of mineral fertilizer losses

Thanks to improved soil structure and its sorption properties, HiProSoil reduces the leaching of nitrogen and other elements, improving fertilizer management.

Flexible application

It can be used on its own or as an ingredient in compound fertilizers, composts and substrates. It works well in various technologies – from field crops to biogas production.

Stable source of fermentation material

HiProFrass, used as the basis for HiProSoil, contains easily available organic fractions and chitin, which support the process of anaerobic digestion and improve the efficiency of biogas production.

HiProSoil – innovative functional fertilizers: improving soil structure and supporting plant immunity.

More and more fertilizer producers, substrate manufacturers and professional farmers are looking for components that, in addition to providing nutrients, support soil biological activity and plant resistance. HiProSoil, a fertilizer containing chitin, humic acids and stable organic matter, helps improve soil structure, support microbial activity and increase nutrient availability. In practice, this means better water retention, lower risk of soil-borne diseases and more sustainable fertilization. In biogas plants as well, the use of appropriate organic fractions, which we offer in HiProFrass, can support the fermentation process and increase substrate efficiency.

FAQ

Can HiProSoil fertiliser be used on waterlogged or frozen land?
No. Fertilisation should not be carried out on waterlogged, snow-covered, or frozen land – to avoid nutrient losses and negative environmental impact.
Can HiProSoil fertiliser be used in orchards and fruit plantations?
Yes. Before planting an orchard, apply up to 3 tons per hectare and mix with the soil. In following years, apply 2 kg per 10 m² – avoiding direct contact between the fertiliser and the plant.
Can HiProSoil fertiliser be used on lawns?
Yes! Before establishing a lawn, apply 2–3 kg per 10 m², mix with the top layer of soil, level the surface, and then sow the grass.
When is the best time to apply HiProSoil fertiliser?
It is best applied before sowing or planting – in spring or late summer, depending on the crop.
What crops can HiProSoil fertiliser be used for?
HiProSoil can be used for field crops, orchards, vegetables, ornamental plants, and lawns. It is suitable for all soil types.
What benefits do the humic acids in the fertiliser provide for soil?
Humic acids help retain water in the soil, boost soil fertility, and improve the uptake of minerals by plants. They also help maintain stable soil pH and stimulate the development of beneficial microorganisms.
Why is high organic matter content in fertiliser important?
Organic matter improves soil structure, increases its ability to retain water and nutrients, and encourages the development of beneficial microorganisms. As a result, plants have better access to nutrients and grow more healthily.
Does HiProMine fertiliser improve soil quality?
Yes! Thanks to its content of chitin and organic matter, our fertiliser improves soil structure, enhances water retention, and promotes the growth of beneficial microorganisms that support healthy plant development.
Does the fertiliser have the typical smell of animal-based fertilisers?
Unlike traditional manure, our fertiliser has a neutral, mild smell – making it more pleasant to use in both agricultural and home gardening settings.
Is HiProMine fertiliser suitable for organic farming?
Yes – our fertiliser is fully organic and approved for use in organic farming. It is listed by the IUNG (Institute of Soil Science and Plant Cultivation) as suitable for organic agriculture. It contains no synthetic additives or chemicals, supporting sustainable farming practices.
What benefits does the chitin in the fertiliser offer for plants?
Chitin activates plants’ natural defence mechanisms, increasing their resistance to pathogens and pests. It also helps activate beneficial bacteria and fungi in the soil – improving its health and nutrient availability.
Is insect-based fertiliser production cost-effective for farmers?
Yes – frass has a high nutrient concentration, which means that less is needed compared to traditional manure. It also improves soil structure and water retention, helping reduce cultivation costs in the long term.
What are the differences between insect-based and traditional organic fertilisers?
Fertiliser based on frass from Hermetia illucens has a more stable composition and better nutrient availability than manure or compost. It also contains chitin, which stimulates plant resistance to pathogens. Additionally, it does not pose the risk of heavy metal contamination – a common issue in fertilisers made from animal waste.
Are insect-based fertilisers safe for plants and soil?
Yes, provided that production complies with the standards. Frass-based fertiliser is a natural organic fertiliser and contains no pathogens or substances harmful to plants.
What are the benefits of using insect-based fertilisers in agriculture?
Frass from Hermetia illucens improves soil structure, increases water retention, and stimulates the growth of beneficial microorganisms. It is also more stable than manure – which means fewer nutrient losses.
Can insects be used to produce organic fertilisers?
Yes, frass (the droppings of Hermetia illucens larvae) is an excellent organic fertiliser. It is rich in nitrogen, phosphorus, and micronutrients, and contains natural microorganisms that improve soil health.
