In harmony with the earth, the farmer, and every harvest

A Time-Tested Tradition Renewed for Modern Farming

For generations, coastal farming communities understood the hidden value in materials often discarded by others. Shrimp shells, crab shells, and fish bones were recognized not as waste, but as nutrient-rich sources that improve soil structure and strengthen plant growth. P.T Traders continues this proven tradition by carefully processing shrimp shells into a fine, potent meal under the 4root brand. This natural fertilizer blends time-tested wisdom with reliable modern quality, giving today’s farmers a cleaner, more effective way to nourish the soil.

What Makes Shrimp Shell Meal Effective

Shrimp Shell Meal is rich in chitin, calcium, nitrogen, and trace minerals — components that work together to rebuild soil health. As it breaks down in the soil:

  • It supports beneficial microbial activity.
  • It strengthens root development.
  • It enhances soil structure and aeration.
  • It encourages natural resistance against soil-borne issues.
  • It provides a slow, consistent release of nutrients

Every application contributes to long-term soil improvement, not just short-term growth.

Natural Elements That Shape 4root’s Shrimp Shell Meal

1. Harvested from the Deep: Nature’s Raw Materials

  • Ethically Sourced Crustaceans: Derived from wild-caught and sustainably farmed shrimp shells, ensuring a clean, wholesome source material free from industrial waste.

  • Rich Chitin Content: Contains high levels of Chitin, a natural biopolymer found in the exoskeletons of marine life, which acts as the structural backbone of this fertilizer.

  • Bio-Available Calcium: Loaded with natural Calcium Carbonate derived directly from the shells, essential for building strong plant cell walls.

  • Organic Marine Proteins: Packed with complex proteins that decompose naturally into nitrogen, preserving the organic integrity of the nutrient profile.

  • Trace Ocean Minerals: Includes essential micronutrients like Magnesium and Zinc that are naturally absorbed by shrimp from the ocean environment.


2. Awakening the Earth: How It Works

  • Chitinase Stimulation: The presence of Chitin triggers the soil to produce “chitinase” enzymes, which naturally digest the shells of harmful pests like nematodes.

  • Slow-Release Nutrition: Unlike synthetic fertilizers that dissolve instantly, the natural shell structure breaks down gradually, providing steady food for roots without burning them.

  • Microbial Activation: Acts as a “prebiotic” for the soil, feeding the beneficial bacteria and fungi necessary for a living ecosystem.

  • Soil Structure Enhancement: The coarse texture of the meal helps aerate the soil, preventing compaction and allowing water to reach deep roots.

  • Immunity Boosting: Signals the plant to thicken its cell walls, naturally boosting its defense system against fungal diseases.
