Why did we choose a 100% plant-based compost ?

Why did we choose a 100% plant-based compost ? 

At Germiflor, every decision is guided by a strong conviction: fertilization must be high-performing, responsible, and respectful of life. It is with this mindset that our family chose, many years ago, to create a 100% plant-based compost as the foundation of all our exceptional fertilizers.

A choice that still sets us apart today in the agricultural and horticultural sectors, built on two key pillars : crop health and safety, and the long-term regeneration of soils.

Healthy, safe crops

Many composts available on the market contain materials derived from urban waste, green waste, or even industrial sludge. These inputs, which are difficult to control, pose risks : the presence of unwanted seeds, heavy metals, or pathogens that can compromise plant health and, ultimately, food safety.

By choosing to produce a 100% plant-based compost — our Mazor® — we eliminate these risks. Our fertilizers are made exclusively from noble, carefully controlled raw materials of plant origin. This enables us to guarantee both farmers and home gardeners:

• Safe, stable, and consistent nutrient inputs,
• The absence of invasive weed seeds,
• Reduced risks linked to pathogens.

This level of security is essential for more resilient crops, healthier harvests, and final consumers reassured about the quality of their food.

Living soils, regenerated and sustainably enriched

At Germiflor, we are committed to living soils capable of feeding the planet while preserving their own vitality. The choice of a 100% plant-based compost goes far beyond safety alone: it is about restoring the soil’s natural richness.

Our plant-based compost, Mazor®, created through the patented Cronops® process, undergoes seven months of carefully controlled maturation. This extended period ensures optimal decomposition and perfect stabilization of organic matter. The result ? An amendment of exceptional quality, rich in stable carbon and nutrients that are fully available to crops.

By applying this compost to soils, we promote:

• Improved soil structure, enhancing water retention and limiting erosion,
• Stimulated microbial activity, a hallmark of natural fertility,
• Increased resilience to climatic stress (drought, excess water),
• More consistent yields and higher-quality crops.

With Germiflor, fertilization is more than a simple input: it becomes a tool for regeneration and sustainability in agriculture.

Noble, local raw materials for exceptional fertilizers

Our Mazor®compost is made exclusively from high-quality, carefully selected plant-based raw materials. We prioritize short supply chains to reduce the carbon footprint of transport while promoting local resources.

This choice is fully aligned with our CSR commitments : producing in France, at our Mazamet site, with rigor, transparency, and responsibility.

Choosing a 100% plant-based compost means guaranteeing crop and consumer safety, while building lasting fertility that respects both the environment and the soil. This is what makes Germiflor fertilizers stand out as truly exceptional.

With Mazor® and the Cronops® process, we place innovation and quality at the service of safer, more responsible, and higher-performing agriculture. Because we are convinced of one thing : by respecting both the earth and people, we are preparing for the future.
