Individual
Every soil is different. The blend follows your analysis, soil type and crop. There is no standard formulation for PowerGelee.
We make water supply and yield security on your fields predictable
It starts with your soil analysis, including main nutrients and trace elements. We match the formulation to it: soil conditioners combined with a water-storing granule, tailored to soil type, crop and site. Worked into the root zone, the blend improves water-holding capacity, nutrient availability and soil structure.

With and without PowerGelee
Rain
With PowerGelee: The pure water-storing granule absorbs up to 600 times its own weight in water and swells into a gel. The plant grows strongly.
Without PowerGelee: The compacted soil does not let the water through, so it stays on top of the field. The plant starts to struggle.
Dry spell
With PowerGelee: The plant draws water and nutrients from the gel through its roots and stands strong in the sun too. The gel refills with the next rain.
Without PowerGelee: The puddle disappears and the soil gets denser and harder. The plant hangs its head.

Predictable water supply and reliable yields on your fields
Dry spells are getting longer and inputs more expensive. We start in the soil, where water and nutrients are either held or lost.
Effective
The blend sits right at the root. Plants develop stronger roots, take up nutrients better and get through dry spells more evenly.
Long-lasting
About five years half-life: fewer passes, less labour and steadier yields across several rotations.

Into the root zone
The blend is worked into the root zone, depending on machinery and crop with a seed drill, rotary harrow or spreader, among others.
Due to EU regulations, PowerGelee is designed exclusively for conventional agriculture. Rules may differ in your country, so feel free to ask us.

What farmers ask us most
What is PowerGelee?
PowerGelee is a blend of high-quality soil conditioners and water-storing granules. GeleeVital puts it together individually for each farm, based on the soil analysis, the soil type and the crop. The granules absorb water and nutrients and release them to the plant as needed.
Is PowerGelee a fertiliser?
No. PowerGelee is a soil conditioner with water-storing granules. It keeps water, main nutrients and trace elements in the root zone and reduces leaching. It does not replace fertilisation, but fertiliser can be saved.
How long does PowerGelee last?
Once worked into the root zone, it stays in the soil for about 5 years and then breaks down without leaving residues. Throughout that time it is available to the plants, so it does not need to be applied again every year.
What do you need for a quote?
A complete lab report of your soil sample, ideally including the trace elements boron, copper, manganese, iron and zinc, plus the crop, area in hectares and soil type (e.g. sandy loam or clay loam). Upload the report via the “Submit soil sample” form; the initial assessment is free and non-binding.
Which crops is PowerGelee suitable for?
In principle for all conventional crops: arable farming, vegetables, specialty crops, orchards and vineyards. Our customers use it for corn, sugar beet, pumpkin, zucchini, asparagus, strawberries, cherries and apples, among others, including in polytunnels. For newly planted or replanted young vines there is VitalYouth, for horticulture and ornamentals VitalFlower.
Can PowerGelee be used in organic farming?
Due to EU regulations, PowerGelee is designed exclusively for conventional agriculture. This may be different in your country. To find out whether it can be used in your case, please contact us with your specific needs.
How is PowerGelee applied?
It goes straight into the root zone. Depending on the crop, this is done with a seed drill, a rotary harrow with a seeding unit, a mulch film layer when planting, or a spreader followed by ploughing or cultivating it in. There are further options: just get in touch and we will find the one that matches your needs best.
