Ferma™

Ferma — Fermentation-derived biostimulant

Fermentation-derived biostimulant

Ferma brings together organic acids, sugars, amino acids and peptides from fermented molasses, accompanied by potassium and calcium. This liquid nutrition profile addresses the relationship between growth and environmental stress, with particular relevance to heat-sensitive development. It complements water and nutrient management rather than replacing them.

Crop vitality & growth management

Several organic fractions

Sugars, organic acids, amino acids and peptides give fermentation-derived nutrition a broader composition than a single purified compound.

Attention to heat-sensitive stages

Heat can disrupt leaf function and development even when nutrient supply is adequate. Fermentation-derived materials can be considered within that wider stress-management programme.

Carbon with mineral companions

Potassium and calcium contribute to the material profile alongside organic carbon; each needs separate accounting in the crop programme.

Composition & material characteristics

Fermented molasses

Ferma centres on a liquid material derived from fermented molasses. Organic acids, sugars, amino acids and peptides form a combined organic profile relevant to crop development and physiological responses during environmental stress.

Organic carbon with potassium and calcium

The organic fractions are accompanied by potassium and calcium. This combination connects carbon-based nutrition with mineral supply, particularly when reviewing growth during heat-sensitive stages and coordinating it with irrigation and fertilisation.

Published research on materials & applications

The following publications examine related materials and their agricultural applications. Findings relate to the materials, crops and conditions described in each study.

Jayaweera et al. (2024) evaluated a fermentation-derived biostimulant in Maris Piper potatoes under greenhouse heat stress.

WHAT THE STUDY FOUND

PSII efficiency improved and tuber development responded; the measured photosynthesis-rate difference was not statistically significant.

RESEARCH SCOPE

Formulation-specific greenhouse study: the tested fermentation-derived biostimulant on Maris Piper potato under heat stress. PSII and tuber-development findings are reported alongside a non-significant photosynthesis-rate comparison.

Crop applications

Potato and sugar beet are the crop focus. In potato, the technical background concerns leaf function and tuber development under heat stress; in sugar beet, it concerns crop growth and sugar accumulation during high temperatures. Water supply, nutrient status and crop stage remain part of the assessment.

Potato during heat-sensitive growth

The published potato study examines leaf function and tuber development under heat stress. It provides a defined crop context for fermentation-derived organic compounds, with water supply and the existing nutrition programme retained in the assessment.

Sugar beet growth and accumulation

Sugar beet is a stated crop context for this fermentation-derived nutrition approach. Canopy condition, crop stage and sugar accumulation are considered together when high temperatures affect crop development.

Organic fractions within crop nutrition

Fermented molasses contributes a combination of organic compounds with potassium and calcium. These mineral contributions belong in the nutrient budget; physiological observations and harvested yield remain distinct outcomes.

Quality & product characteristics

Composition and reporting basis

Organic carbon, nutrient fractions and the basis used to express their content are central to fermentation-material characterisation. A consistent mass or volume basis supports a clear assessment of the nutrient contribution.

Liquid stability and compatibility

Homogeneity, density, pH and storage behaviour help describe a fermentation-derived liquid. Compatibility assessment considers these characteristics alongside water quality and the other materials used in the crop programme.

Heat-stress management combines crop-stage assessment with adequate water and mineral nutrition.

Product questions

What is Ferma’s material identity?

Ferma is based on liquid fermented molasses, with organic compounds and accompanying potassium and calcium. It is not described as a live microbial inoculant.

What does the potato study show?

The cited heat-stress study reported improved photosystem II efficiency and a tuber-development response. The measured photosynthesis-rate comparison was not statistically significant; these endpoints remain distinct.
