Presentation
This molasses comes from sugar cane processing. Its purpose is to supply carbon to microorganisms able to use its sugars.
It can form part of a managed preparation or fermentation process. Match the input to the desired microorganisms and medium: oxygen, temperature and other nutrients influence the response.
Composition
Viscous sugar-cane-derived liquid containing fermentable sugars and naturally occurring minerals.
Application
Dilute uniformly in water before incorporation or injection. Check compatibility and the protocol for each inoculant; adapt aeration to microbial respiration. Avoid acid-reacting products.
In irrigation, avoid stagnant sugar solutions, provide suitable filtration, rinse lines after use and check emitter flow to limit conditions favourable to biofilms.
Storage and handling
Store between 8 and 21 °C. Follow the product instructions for the container and its closure. Aeration of a microbial preparation is a process step, separate from molasses storage.
Key points
Dilute before use
Dilute this viscous material uniformly in water before incorporation or injection.
Maintain irrigation lines
Avoid stagnation, filter, rinse and check emitter flow.
Frequently asked questions
What does sugar cane molasses contain?
Viscous sugar-cane-derived liquid containing fermentable sugars and naturally occurring minerals.
Must molasses be diluted before injection?
Yes. Dilute uniformly in water before incorporation or injection to homogenise this viscous material. In irrigation, filter, rinse lines and check emitters.
