About RegenR8™

Built by Scientists, Backed by Farmers

At RegenR8™, we’re committed to transforming agriculture in South Africa and beyond through cutting-edge, natural solutions that restore soil health and boost crop productivity. Our innovative soil amendment combines volcanic rock, biochar, and Hydrocache™ to help farmers regenerate tired soils, improve water retention, and reduce their reliance on synthetic fertilisers.

Designed for today’s climate-smart agriculture needs, RegenR8™ is more than a product — it’s a soil health movement. Whether you’re a commercial grower, smallholder farmer, or involved in regenerative agriculture, we’re here to help you grow better, naturally.

Why Farmers Need RegenR8™

Aquagel’s RegenR8™ is a blend of biochar and micronised volcanic rock designed to improve soil health and reduce fertiliser dependency in regenerative agriculture. Here’s why farmers will find it beneficial:

Reduced Fertiliser Needs

Initial trials at Tygerhoek Research Farm in 2023 showed RegenR8™ enhances nutrient availability, potentially lowering the need for synthetic fertilisers. This reduces input costs, which is critical as fertilisers can account for a significant portion of farming expenses (up to 20-30% in some systems).

Improved Soil Health

The biochar component increases soil carbon content, boosting organic matter and microbial activity. This improves soil structure and nutrient cycling, leading to healthier crops. For example, studies on regenerative practices show that increasing soil organic matter by 1% can enhance water retention by up to 30,000 liters per hectare.

Enhanced Water Retention

RegenR8™’s volcanic rock and biochar improve soil porosity, allowing better water retention. This is vital in regions facing droughts or erratic rainfall, as it reduces irrigation needs and helps crops withstand water stress.

Increased Crop Yields

Trials suggest RegenR8™ can boost yields by improving nutrient uptake and soil fertility. Thus working with natural systems to enhance productivity without heavy reliance on external inputs.

Sustainability and Carbon Sequestration

By enhancing soil carbon, RegenR8™ supports sequestering atmospheric carbon, thus mitigating climate change.

Cost Efficiency and Profitability

Reduced fertilizer and irrigation needs lower operational costs. A Boston Consulting Group (BCG) study found up to 60% higher profitability after six years due to lower inputs and higher margins, a benefit RegenR8™ could amplify.

Frequently Asked Questions

Regenr8™ is formulated for Commercial and large scale agricultural operations as well as Fertiliser Blenders. We do however have a distributor that sells 25kg bags directly to the public. Send us an email and we will forward your request to them.

RegenR8™ is a blend of organic spheres of carbon and micro-fine rock dust. It significantly enhances soil health by improving its structure and composition. This results in increased water-holding capacity, nutrient retention, and a boost in microbial activity. It also contains over 70 micro-nutrients and helps sequester carbon in the soil, ultimately leading to improved plant growth, more nutritious crops, and a more sustainable environment.

Yes, both RegenR8™ can be customized to meet the specific requirements of your soil and crops. RegenR8™ pellets can be blended with different ratios of biochar, rock dust, and Hydrocache™ to adjust water retention and nutrient availability.

RegenR8™ offer several advantages over traditional alternatives. RegenR8™ is a pelletized product that’s easy to apply, dust-free, and blends seamlessly with existing farming equipment. It enhances soil health by improving nutrient retention and microbial activity.
