SoilBoost EA Soil Conditioner

SoilBoost EA is a humic acid soil conditioner manufactured exclusively for Chemiseed Sdn. Bhd. and Kudzu Seeds Trading (humic acid, pH 3.84, 0.45% sulfur as sent or 0.61% on a dry-weight basis, Leonardite-derived; typical analysis, certificate of analysis for the batch supplied on request). It supports degraded and replanting soils. It is not a fertiliser substitute and not a disease treatment.

Bulk and Tender Quantities

We supply seed in bulk volumes suited to agency and tender (lelang) requirements, with germination testing and quality certificates available for procurement compliance and tender documentation.

Supplying Since 2003

A Malaysian supplier (Sdn. Bhd.) headquartered in Subang Jaya, Selangor, exporting to Indonesia with a phytosanitary certificate (ISPM 12) issued by the Department of Agriculture Malaysia, and a dedicated Indonesia representative for local support.

Use Cases for Government and Institutional Buyers

Land Development and Replanting Programmes (including PSR)

Leguminous cover crops are standard practice in new and replanted oil palm and rubber areas, where they fix nitrogen, suppress weeds, and protect soil during the establishment phase. They fit naturally into smallholder replanting (peremajaan) programmes such as Peremajaan Sawit Rakyat (PSR), Indonesia's national smallholder oil palm replanting programme administered through BPDPKS. Chemiseed supplies the cover crop seed and SoilBoost EA used on replanting blocks; we do not administer the PSR programme itself. See our replanting guide for agronomic detail.

Reforestation (Reboisasi) and Watershed Rehabilitation

Cover crops restore nitrogen to depleted soils and reduce erosion during tree establishment, supporting reforestation (reboisasi and penghijauan) and watershed (DAS) rehabilitation programmes. CM and PJ are commonly used for soil restoration during tree establishment.

Erosion Control on Cleared and Sloping Land

PJ and CM establish roots quickly on exposed subsoil, helping bind soil and reduce surface runoff on cleared replant land, cut slopes, and sloping plantation terrain. See our erosion control guide for agronomic detail.

Smallholder and Cooperative Programmes

Smallholder support programmes and farmer cooperatives (koperasi) can include cover crop establishment to improve soil and reduce input costs over time. We can supply seed in programme-scale quantities with the documentation needed for institutional distribution. See our smallholder guide.

Cover Crop Seeding Rates

Species Establishment Pure stand Component of a mixture
Pueraria javanica (PJ) Broadcast 4 to 6 kg/ha 3 to 7.5 kg/ha
Calopogonium mucunoides (CM) Broadcast 4 to 6 kg/ha 1 to 3 kg/ha
Centrosema pubescens (CP) Broadcast 3 to 4.5 kg/ha 0.5 to 3 kg/ha
Calopogonium caeruleum (CC) Broadcast 3 to 4.5 kg/ha 0.6 to 1.5 kg/ha
Mucuna bracteata (MB) Nursery-raised, transplanted, never broadcast About 320 seedlings/ha (roughly 85 to 100 g seed/ha). A kg/ha rate for MB is wrong by a factor of roughly forty.

MB is established from nursery-raised seedlings and transplanted, not broadcast. For a mixture, the best-cited published reference is MPOB TT No. 501 (Information Series 588, June 2012), Table 1 treatment C2: PJ 4 : CP 3 : CC 1, total 8 kg/ha, with 5 g of Rhizobium (RRI strain) inoculant per kg of seed; treatment C4, with MB carrying part of the cover, is PJ 3 + CP 1 = 4 kg/ha. Those are institutional best-management-practice recommendations from a peat trial, not primary field measurements, and MPOB does not state whether the totals are per gross hectare or per interrow hectare actually sown. Defensible published mixture totals run 5 to 15 kg/ha and cluster at 6 to 12, and every published mixture is PJ-dominant. SoilBoost EA, where used, is applied at 50 to 100 kg/ha by broadcast or 10 to 15 kg/ha by drench. Final rates depend on site conditions, programme objectives, and agronomic advice. Our agronomy team can confirm rates per project.

Phytosanitary documentation, stated accurately for procurement

Seed consignments to Indonesia travel with a phytosanitary certificate issued by Malaysia's national plant protection organisation, the Department of Agriculture Malaysia (Jabatan Pertanian Malaysia), under the IPPC framework. That certificate is the document described by ISPM 12.

ISPM 7 is a different standard and should not be written into a tender specification as a supplier credential. It governs how a national plant protection organisation organises and audits its export certification system; it applies to national authorities, not to companies, and no seed company is or can be "ISPM 7 certified". This page previously described our shipments as certified under ISPM 7; that wording was wrong and has been corrected. Indonesian import permits and admissibility remain the buyer's responsibility, and SoilBoost EA, being a mined mineral product rather than plant material, generally does not require a phytosanitary certificate.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does Chemiseed supply cover crop seeds for Indonesian government and institutional projects?

Yes. Chemiseed is a Malaysian company (Sdn. Bhd.) that supplies cover crop seeds (PJ, MB, CM, CP, CC) and SoilBoost EA soil conditioner in bulk and tender quantities for government agencies, plantation programmes, reforestation, and erosion control projects in Indonesia. We have supplied agricultural inputs since 2003, and seed consignments travel with a phytosanitary certificate issued by the Department of Agriculture Malaysia under the IPPC framework.

Which Indonesian agencies and institutions can use cover crop seed?

Cover crop seed and soil conditioners are relevant to buyer categories such as the Ministry of Agriculture (Kementerian Pertanian), provincial plantation offices (Dinas Perkebunan), state plantation companies (PTPN), reforestation and watershed programmes, and farmer cooperatives (koperasi). These are listed as potential buyer categories, not as existing clients.

Do cover crops fit the PSR (Peremajaan Sawit Rakyat) programme?

Yes. PSR provides government support for smallholder oil palm replanting through BPDPKS, and the replant window is exactly when a protective legume cover is most valuable on cleared land. Cover crops fit naturally into a peremajaan programme. Chemiseed supplies the seed and SoilBoost EA; it does not administer PSR or any other government programme.

Can Chemiseed provide documentation for tender submissions?

Yes. Chemiseed can provide seed quality certificates, germination test reports, species datasheets, and formal quotations suitable for government and institutional procurement. Seed consignments to Indonesia travel with a phytosanitary certificate issued by the Department of Agriculture Malaysia, the national plant protection organisation. That certificate is the document described by ISPM 12; ISPM 7 governs an NPPO's certification system and is not a supplier credential, so it should not be written into a tender specification as one.

How do we request a quote or tender enquiry from Chemiseed in Indonesia?

Contact Windhi, Chemiseed's Indonesia representative, by WhatsApp on +62 877-7837-4714 or email windhi@chemiseed.com with your project type, area in hectares, and location. For scheduled planting windows, enquire at least 4 to 6 weeks before the required delivery date.

References and limitations: Pure-stand and mixture-component seeding rates are Chemiseed's reconciled agronomic references; the mixture specification follows MPOB TT No. 501 / Information Series 588 (June 2012), an institutional best-management-practice recommendation from a peat trial rather than a primary field measurement. Rates should be confirmed per site with agronomic advice. SoilBoost EA specification values (pH 3.84; 0.45% sulfur as sent, 0.61% on a dry-weight basis) are typical analysis run per batch on request, not guaranteed constants, and they vary between batches; a certificate of analysis for the batch supplied is available on request. Agencies and institutions named on this page (Kementerian Pertanian, Dinas Perkebunan, PTPN, reforestation and watershed programmes, and koperasi) are listed as potential buyer categories only and are not stated to be existing Chemiseed clients. PSR (Peremajaan Sawit Rakyat) is the Indonesian government's smallholder oil palm replanting programme administered through BPDPKS; Chemiseed supplies inputs used on replanting blocks and does not administer PSR or any other government programme. Chemiseed is not, and cannot be, "ISPM 7 certified": that standard applies to national plant protection organisations.
