EcoSes - (Ecological sinking emissions in soils) technology.. The key to our understanding of and success with difficult, infertile and unproductive soils!!

The EcoSES technology was invented by GROTEC to provide a solution to the ever increasing challenge of growing gardens, crops and pastures in poorly structured, infertile soils. This technology enables our horticultural teams to work alongside innovative landowners, developers and environmental planners to implement regenerative soil management and planting techniques that dramatically improves the chemical, structural and biological nature of all soils.

Since 1988 Grotec horticulturists have focused their attention on the soil foundation, as it is here that the real beauty, health and strength of a garden begins.  Our extensive research and development and ongoing testing with nature's premium products has resulted in a superior soil treatment process that produces outstanding results.

A thorough knowledge and understanding of soils only comes about with time, observation and practice and to get a clear understanding of how plants respond and grow in a variety of environmental and soil conditions, it is essential that there be a close link and ongoing observation between the design, construction and maintenance components of a landscape project. This is where Grotec has had the advantage as specialists and leaders in all three services over 20 years.

Our annual system of regenerative care for soils and plants is implemented through a customized package of treatments and services within the seasonal cycles. There is not a one-size-fits-all solution to landscape health. How, how much and when these products are applied are at the centre of the GROTEC - EcoSes approach.

With appropriate changes to land management, soils have the capacity to sequester and store large volumes of carbon, thus improving microbial content, biological activity, fertility, structure, stability, resistance to erosion and ultimately biodiversity, productivity and profitability. Increasing soil carbon can significantly reduce the impact of dry-land salinity, reduce sedimentation in rivers and streams, improve water and air quality.

Grotec’s extensive research led to an understanding that soils are capable of absorbing carbon dioxide, a gas in the atmosphere that contributes to Global warming and climate change. With the appropriate treatment and handling of soils, this gas can be converted into organic carbon and stabilized within the soil. Organic Carbon can revitalize and transform our soils and is the key to developing strong, healthy, sustainable green spaces.

Reversing climate change at the local, regional and global levels requires a whole of landscape approach. The bottom line is that soils low in humic substances and biological activity cannot effectively store either carbon or water. The carbon goes into the air, adding to the Greenhouse Effect and the water moves off-site, removing soil and nutrients and transforming the most precious of our natural resources into salinity, sedimentation and eutrophication 'problems'

The appropriate management of soil biology in agriculture, horticulture, forestry, amenity and conservation areas is the most vital and most neglected of the natural resource issues facing us all.

Biologically active self renewing topsoil is the cornerstone for a productive horticulural sector and a robust environment and it is essential for the health of plants, animals and people.
