^TM Eco-Fertiliser

^TM is an environmentally friendly fertiliser developed by CK Life Sciences Group as a practical and productive tool to enable significant reduction in the use of chemical fertilisers. Unlike traditional chemical fertilisers, ^TM contains no soluble nitrogen (N), phosphorous (P) or potassium (K). The specially treated microbes within ^TM have the capability of fixing N from the air, decomposing rock phosphate into P and breaking down K from the soil to an easily absorbable form when they are in contact with the roots of plants, and in response to the plants' need for nutrients.

^TM performs well in many places around the globe. Trial results conducted in a number of countries in Asia such as China and the Philippines, the United States , Australia and Europe have suggested that ^TM matches the yields made possible by traditional chemical fertilisers. They also demonstrate t^TM's ability to be a more environmentally friendly source of essential nutrients, resulting in a better quality of crop and an improvement in the quality of the soil.

In trials and research studies on different varieties of both irrigated direct seeded rice and transplanted rice conducted in major rice growing countries such as China, the Philippines, Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand, Vietnam and Myanmar, ^TM demonstrated its effectiveness in achieving stable and higher yields. ^TM has also obtained accreditation as a product suitable for organic production by the Organic Materials Review Institute (OMRI) in the U.S., Biological Farmers of Australia (BFA) in Australia, Organic Food Development Centre (OFDC) of China, BCS in Germany and Organic Agriculture Certificate Thailand (OACT) in Thailand. Moreover, ^TM has been awarded the Asian Innovation Bronze Award by Far Eastern Economic Review and the Golden Rim Award as recognition of its technological superiority.

^TM生态型肥料

^TM乃研究及开发的环保肥料，是一种在大量减少化肥使用的情况下仍可有效增产稳产的工具。^TM不含化肥所载的可溶性氮、磷或钾，其经特别处理的活性体接触到植物根部时，能固定空气中的氮，从磷矿石中分解磷，以及从泥土中分解钾，将氮、磷或钾变为可溶性之体状，并按植物所需提供适量的养分。

^TM在全球各地都有良好的表现。在亚洲如中国及菲律宾、美国、澳大利亚、欧洲及南美洲多个国家进行的多项试验，结果均显示施用^TM的作物产量媲美施用化肥后的结果。此外，^TM能在环保的情况下为作物供应适量的养分，从而提高作物品质及改善土壤性能。

在中国、菲律宾、印度尼西亚、马来西亚、泰国、越南及缅甸等主要稻米种植国家进行的直播水稻及移栽水稻试验 中 ，显示^TM能稳产增产。^TM获多个国际认证组织认可为可作有机农产品种植的肥料，这些组织包括美国 有机物质检查委员会(Organic Materials Review Institute)、澳大利亚生物技术种植场主联会(Biological Farmers of Australia)、中国国环有机食品认证中心(OFDC)、德国BCS，及泰国有机农业证书 Organic Agriculture Certificate Thailand (OACT) 。此外，^TM更于二零零二年荣获「远东经济评论亚洲创新大奖」之铜奖，及于二零零四年初获得「全球高峰特优商品金环奖」，进一步印证^TM的革命性科技。
