Organic Fertilizer-Soil Improvers of long term action have a completely natural 
composition without any synthetic agents. They are made from carefully selected ecologically pure 
natural raw materials. They are fully free from heavy metals, pathogenic organisms, vermin, 
pesticides, synthetic preservatives and quarantine weeds. Thus they cannot cause human, plants and 
animals diseases.  
Peat is an organic rock, which has being formed during the period of 3-10 thousand years 
as a result of incomplete decomposition, and humification of died out marsh plants in high 
moistening conditions.  
Sapropel is fine-dispersed deposit on the bottom of fresh-water lakes. It is mainly formed 
of died out aquatic organisms within the period of 3-10 thousand years. Best sorts of sapropel are 
used in the production of the soil improvers. Sapropel is rich in colloidal particles and includes also 
various mineral substances of the biogenic origin which well assimilated by plants.  
Advantages: 
– natural origin of components; 
– presence of mineral and organic-mineral colloidal particles, steady against 
decomposition and providing a positive effect in complex improvement of physical, chemical and 
biological properties of soil, its nutritious and aqueous conditions for a long period of time;  
– organic fertilizers make it possible to economize up to 30…50 % of irrigation water and 
allow plants to withstand the short-terms droughts successfully; 
– presence of natural hormones and other biologically active substances;  
– constancy of the composition and the balance of nutritive elements;  
– absence of the necessity in additional mineral fertilizing  in the year of soil improver 
application: 
– richness in humic substances; 
– homogeneity of the structure;  
– absence of odour and ecological reliability; 
– high quality of agricultural products without nitrates, pesticides and heavy metals, that 
allow to produce food for children. 
This advantages are result of long-term experimental scientific investigations implemented 
by specialists of the National Academy of Sciences of Belarus Prof. N. Bambalov and Dr. G. 
Sokolov in United Arab Emirates, Egypt, Netherlands, Japan, China and other countries in different 
soil-climatic zones. 
Organic Fertilizer-Soil Improvers SATOR® were certified and have a permission for 
application in agriculture and horticulture on the European Union territory.
