Proven in Zambia Since 2017 — The Wellcrop Heritage Story

Back in 2017, Mr. Chitalu, CEO of the Organic Producers and Processors Association of Zambia (OPPAZ), led some of the earliest field tests with WellCrop’s biological system in Kafue Shimabala. Even under tough conditions — including 15-day dry spells — WellCrop demonstrated its unique ability to strengthen root systems, increase resilience, and produce healthier, more vigorous crops.

These early trials, guided by one of Zambia’s leading voices in organic agriculture, laid the foundation for the WellCrop system. Today, with years of real-world validation in Zambian soils, WellCrop remains committed to delivering proven, chemical-free solutions that restore soil health, protect farmer incomes, and build true resilience for the future. This Test Formed Part of The  Independent OPPAZ Field Trials

GrowPro Drought Tollerant Crops

01

Improving Soil Structure

  • Microbial soil enhancers introduce beneficial microorganisms that help bind soil particles together, creating a more porous structure. This enhanced soil structure allows the soil to absorb and retain more water, reducing runoff and evaporation.

03

Stimulating Root Growth

  • Beneficial microbes, such as mycorrhizal fungi, form symbiotic relationships with plant roots, extending their reach and improving water uptake. This expanded root network helps plants access water from deeper soil layers, increasing their resilience during droughts.

05

Plant Health and Stress Tolerance

  • By boosting nutrient availability, microbial soil enhancers help plants build more robust root systems and improve overall health, making them more tolerant to drought stress. Healthy, nutrient-rich plants are better equipped to survive periods of water scarcity.

02

Enhancing Soil Organic Matter

Microbes decompose organic matter, producing humus, which increases the soil's capacity to hold moisture. Soils rich in organic matter can store up to 20 times their weight in water, giving plants more accessible moisture during dry periods

04

A Protective Microbial Layer

  • Microbes produce polysaccharides that coat soil particles, forming a protective layer that reduces water evaporation from the soil surface. This "biofilm" enhances soil aggregation and water retention, conserving moisture.

06

Balancing Soil pH and Nutrients

  • Microbes help regulate soil pH and make essential nutrients more available to plants. This balanced environment allows plants to thrive under low water conditions, efficiently utilising available moisture and nutrients.

Natural Moisture

One of the biggest challenges farmers face today is water. Droughts are becoming more common. Rainfall is changing. But deep underground, nature holds a hidden reserve: moisture stored in the lower soil layers.

​

With most chemical fertilisers, root systems stay shallow. Plants become weak and thirsty, depending on surface water that quickly dries up.

GrowPro changes this.

By restoring the life in the soil — with billions of natural, beneficial microbes — GrowPro helps your crops build stronger, deeper, and longer roots. These roots can:

​

  • Reach deeper into the soil profile

  • Tap into natural moisture stored below the surface

  • Survive longer between rains

  • Better withstand dry spells and drought periods

We call this “God’s irrigation” — the moisture that already exists beneath the soil, waiting to be accessed by healthy, well-rooted plants.

​

The result:
Less need for irrigation
Better crop health during dry periods
Improved yields even in tough seasons
Greater peace of mind for farmers

By strengthening your soil and your plants’ root systems, GrowPro helps you farm with confidence — even when the rains don’t come as expected.
