C-Wise OSC is an economical source of composted organic matter suitable for improving soil carbon and rehabilitating soil functionality in large scale agricultural, mining and urban landscape projects. OSC is derived from recycled household organic materials that are composted to eliminate plant pathogens and viable seeds, producing large volumes of semi-mature organic carbon suitable for a wide range of applications. OSC is also proven very effective as a fine mulch for conserving water and stimulating growth in tree and vine crops as well as being an excellent compost accelerator for rapidly transforming animal manures into powerful organic fertiliser.
• Reduces nutrient leaching in sandy soils.
• Improves soil moisture holding capacity.
• Highly absorbent, holds 170% of its weight in water.
• Contains valuable crop nutrients and trace elements.
• Improves nutrient uptake efficiency.
• Stimulates beneficial soil biology.
• Rapidly improves soil functionality.
• Consistent quality available all year round.
• Easy to transport and handle with a belt spreader.
OSC is suitable for broadcasting by conventional belt spreader in broadacre crops, pastures and inter row applications. When used as mulch, OSC can be spread along planting lines with a side banding spreader or maybe installed below the surface to create a moisture reservoir using specialised trenching equipment available for hire from C-Wise.
When planting new crops and pastures, OSC slowly releases plant available nutrients contained in the organic matter. The organic carbon in the product helps improve soil moisture retention and fertiliser use efficiency. For best results, spread at 5-10m3/ha and incorporate before planting or in low tillage systems, apply as a top dressing at 10-20m3/ ha before planting.
OSC makes an excellent fine mulch for orchards and vineyards, creating a protective layer on the soil that stabilises soil temperature and increases the active soil volume for feeder root development and storage of moisture and nutrients. This stimulates soil biology and improves the efficiency of drippers and overhead irrigation through the heat of summer. The mulch forms a protective crust that blankets weeds and is resistant to wind and water erosion for up to 2 years or more depending on local conditions. OSC can be side banded under trees and vines in a 50-75mm thick layer and extending 50cm to 1m wide each side of plantings depending on stage of development.
OSC is a concentrated source of fine organic carbon that’s perfect for on-farm composting of manures, animal mortalities and other organic residues to make organic fertilisers. The organic carbon in OSC is at an advanced stage of decomposition that can accelerate compost maturity with the right balance of nitrogen, air and water to fuel the process. Contact C-Wise for helpful advice on the right process to make your composting operation a success.
Mushroom is a medium maturity product suitable for supplying a balance of slow release nutrients and improving soil health. Apply to the surface at rates between 1 and 20m3. We generally recommend that our products are not incorporated in broadacre agriculture. The benefits from low tillage farming systems are greater than the small extra benefit achieved by incorporating compost below the soil surface. You may wish to time a compost application to take advantage of a periodic tillage, for example mouldboarding to bury weed seeds and bring clay to the surface.
• One product to protect the soil and feed plant growth.
• Creates soil conditions that support vigorous root growth.
• Feeds beneficial soil biology that drives growth and combats disease.
• Long life performance, effective for several years.
