Healthy soil.
Healthy plants.
Healthy humans.
Zylem supplies biological soil conditioners, foliar feeds and soil-health programmes to commercial farmers across South Africa, because sustainability and profitability start in the soil.
We bridge soil science and commercial farming
Proven biological soil conditioners and foliar feeds that improve soil health, increase yields and reduce input costs.
Soil health solutions
Biological conditioners that build long-term fertility and microbial activity in your soil.
Foliar nutrition
Targeted feeds delivered straight to the leaf, correcting deficiencies at critical growth stages.
Pest & disease resistance
Healthier plants from within naturally resist pests and disease, lowering your input costs.
What are you farming through?
Pick a challenge and we’ll point you to the Zylem products built for it.
Building living soil
Healthy soil is a living system. Amino K and PopUp feed the soil microbiology from planting onward, while Sea Brix builds the sugar reserves that keep that biology fed, the foundation for long-term fertility and lower input costs.
Farming through drought & stress
When water is scarce or crops are heat-stressed, recovery starts with biology. Sea-Change KFF and Sea Brix help crops bounce back from stress events and keep photosynthesising, while Amino K keeps nutrients moving with less energy spent on uptake.
Resistance from within
A well-nourished plant defends itself. Higher brix levels and corrected trace-element deficiencies strengthen cell walls and natural defences, so crops on a Sea Brix and Micros Z programme lean less on the spray can.
Correcting deficiencies
Hidden hunger costs yield. Micros Z corrects the zinc and manganese deficiencies common in South African soils, NanoCal and Nutri-Key Calcium Shuttle build stronger cell walls, and Nutri-Key Shuttle Seven covers the rest of the trace-element gap.

Local expertise
We understand South African soils, climates and crop systems, advice that’s relevant and actionable.
What farmers say
“Using Zylem and Real IPM has really improved my olive yields in the Swartland which has put the farm in a much better position”
