Effects of AMALGEROL on straw decomposition
DI Othmar Nolz, Hechenbichler GmbH, Austria
Poorly decomposed straw and plant residues lead to problems in cultivation, plant growth, and plant health, including the transfer of pathogens and decreased humus. Applications of AMALGEROL and AMALGEROL ESSENCE significantly reduce plant residues, improve soil structure, and increase humus content, which helps store CO2. Using AMALGEROL combined with bacteria reduces straw and soil resistance, resulting in less cutting force needed, reduced pulling-off force, and decreased fuel consumption during tillage.

New AMALGEROL-World in Hungary
Attila Takács, HECHTA Kft., Hungary
In Hungary, AMALGEROL has been used to treat a significant number of hectares, and it increases the population of beneficial bacteria in the soil.
