There are other, similar products
on the market. What’s different
about this one?
Fibrophos is produced from burning
the same consistent fuel source all
the time. This means the physical
quality and nutrient analysis of the
product do not vary. It’s the same
time after time. Fibrophos Ltd are
members of the AIC and all product
is sold under FIAS regulations so
you may be assured that you get
what is declared on the Statutory
Statement which accompanies
every load. Beware of other fertilisers
which are not sold in this way.
I’ve used poultry manure as a
fertiliser. Why should I want it
burnt to an ash?
Firstly, incineration ensures there
are no pathogens. Secondly,
poultry manure cannot be applied
during the wet winter months due
to problems with nitrogen leaching
- the manufacture of Fibrophos
takes poultry manure throughout
the year thus avoiding leaching
issues. Thirdly, by creating a
consistent quality ash product it
makes it easier to spread accurately.
What about traceability of the
poultry litter fuel source?
Fibrophos is sold under a Quality
Protocol for Poultry Litter Ash (PLA)
set by the Environment Agency.
The poultry litter fuel is only sourced
from British poultry farms and is
closely monitored for chemical
composition and every delivery to
the power station can be traced
to a particular poultry farm from
which it came.
At 18% calcium, 4%magnesium
and a neutralising value of 15% it’s
it just expensive, low grade lime?
No. The calcium and magnesium
are in readily available forms
and are valuable plant nutrients.
Fibrophos is not a liming product
but, when used regularly, will help
maintain soil pH.
How does Fibrophos compare with
the cost of other fertilisers?
Fibrophos is competitively priced
with all P&K fertilisers across the
UK. In addition, the secondary and
trace elements in Fibrophos are
supplied at no extra charge so
provide a cost effective way to
replace nutrients removed or
to correct deficiencies in your soil
- giving you peace of mind.
How does Fibrophos benefit
the environment?
Fibrophos is naturally produced
from totally natural and organically
derived origins, using renewable
sources of chicken litter and wood
waste such as bark and chippings.
Its use as a fertiliser replaces mined
phosphates and potash which are
