4 Al Ruya Fertilizers On Its Way To Be Global Dr. Riyadh Al Ashban Al Ruya Administrative Council Member We, Al Ruya people, are accustomed to the language of act and to building achievements in various fields; strong will-power and constant knowledge are our motives. I would like to declare on this occasion that Al Ruya Gulf Group Holdings agreed on the development plan of Al Ruya Fertilizers Manufacturing Co. Ltd., with an amount of 100 million Saudi Riyals, (SAR100,000,000) which includes building an integrated complex for manufacturing granular fertilizers and some kinds of mono-compound fertilizers like potassium sulphate, MAP and MKP, with a total production capacity of up to 300,000 metric tons in the first stage with an expandability of up to 1 million (1000,000) metric tons. With this exceptional development project, Al Ruya Fertilizers Mfg. Company is expected to become the pioneers in the Middle East region, as it will start to produce various input materials of compound and liquid fertilizers. It will also be relying on exporting of 80% of its products to Arab, Asian and African markets. This decision will also be accounted as an expansion of the constant successes and achievements accomplished by Al Ruya Group in manufacturing of health drugs in the Kingdom of Bahrain, through establishing two industrial complexes, the first of which is for manufacturing Insulin with a capital amount of 400 million (400,000,000) Saudi Riyals; in association with most important world companies working in this field: Helam Company of Germany, The American Meirk Company, The German Lindy Constructions. The second complex is Bahrain Pharma factory which is counted as the first factory in The Middle East to manufacture gelatin capsules; as well the injection production plant with a cost of 200 million (200,000,000) Riyals. Al Ruya Group owns a number of factories located in The Eastern Province of Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, operating in different fields of industries like gas products (MCU), food stuffs and sugar packing plants etc. Al Ruya Group also owns plants of manufacturing pipes, flanges and valves, in association with Arabian Sugar Company, the largest joint stock company for manufacturing sugar, as its percentage has reached 15%; as well as the Bahrain Cubic Glass Company; the two projects with a finance of 2 billion Saudi Riyals. And presently, Alruya Group is on its way to build the largest aluminum manufacturing factory in the Gulf region to produce aluminum structures for construction purposes. Al Ruya Group also possesses companies operating in the fields of oil-well services and financing services, and the assets of Al Ruya Group are estimated to be more than 3 billion Saudi Riyals, in Bahrain and The Eastern Province of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. 4

5 Al Ruya And The Food Safety As our company is turning a page of its past, it is simultaneously opening a new page of its progress and prosperity to reach the summit of our goals, the most important of which is our own contribution in the world food safety, taking into account that Alruya Fertilizers Manufacturing Company has already surpassed the domestic limits of its constant successes, to the levels of Arab, African and Asian markets, especially with its ambitious plans to build a new integrated complex in the Eastern Province of Saudi Arabia for manufacturing various kinds of granular and mono-compound fertilizers, with a production capacity of 300,000 metric ton and with a capital investment of 100 million (100,000,000) Saudi Riyals. Actually this high position which we are going to achieve after a series of constant successes will bring more responsibilities on us, encouraging us to be prompt on the path of progress and prosperity, extending more efforts and commitments; and to face local, Arab and global agricultural markets; and to stand on a sterner industrial basement to face greater challenges and spread the newest of cultivating concepts among the farmers. The steps of Al Ruya Fertilizers Mfg. Co., according to the directions of its partners and founders, moves ahead actively in extending new generations of fertilizers and special compounds that have already established their successes in the agricultural fields and attained remarkably distinctive increase in productivity of a vast range of crops exceeding 50% than that of their counterparts from local and foreign producers. The credits go to our highly practicable vision, exclusively consistent and operational mechanisms and constant hard work, relying, after Allah The Almighty, on an integrated center for research and development inside the company itself which extends all what is new in the fertilizer world. Finally, I would like to announce that the responsible personalities of our company have already responded to the continuous requests of a lot of customers to open company branches in all the regions of the Kingdom, in the coming stage; and will be equipping those branches with qualified technical cadre force to provide all fertilizer and other agricultural input needs for the farmers and agricultural companies in our beloved nation.

10 What are the 7 Special Compounds? They are those compounds which have their effect on the most important and active component of the plant, the cytoplasm, which is responsible for transporting all the nutrients to all different parts of the plant; the fruit, the root and the shoot. It is well known that higher the cytoplasm, greater the plant s vitality as a result of getting the nutrition elements in a better way. And lower the cytoplasm higher the vulnerability of the plant to various problems like low productivity and deterioration in the overall health, especially in adverse climatic conditions like heat or cold extremities. Also there are other cases like lapsed plant age which causes general decrease in vitality and productivity. The Special 7 Compounds collection fortifies the plant to compete any kind of hard or extreme climatic situations and to remain stable and strong to deliver a constant level of productivity. Thus, the usage of the Special 7 Collection reflects positively in the total turnover of the farmer. As everyone knows, the vegetable prices rise tremendously in cold climates as a result of general low productivity. But, by applying the Special 7 Compounds, the farmers can definitely achieve the very optimal to high averages of standard yields, regardless of the extreme climatic situations, and at the same time, at the prevalent high rates of market prices. This way, the farmer achieves by the application of the Special 7 Compounds a number of goals simultaneously. The matter does not reach a limit even by this. There are a number of facts that can be effectively utilized by the farmer to increase the productivity and thus expand the size of his profits. Some of such facts are explained below: Adapting to a double-crop scheme instead of the normal single-crop option of the winter. Achieving high growth and uniformity in tomato fruits in greenhouse and open field farming, and obtaining the volume and ripening within a competently typical period of time. 10

11 Prolonged productivity stage of the plant life with improved fruit specifications. It is difficult to differentiate between the fruits of the aged plants that were treated by the Special 7 Compounds from the fruits of untreated but energetic fresh plants, as it is known that the fruits of fresh and young plants are generally so healthy and with higher specifications than that of older plants in their last stages of productivity. The commercial quality specifications start to deteriorate gradually after the first stage of the plant fertility, if the plant s natural cytoplasm is fortified, revitalized and stabilized by the application of the Special 7 Compounds. The Special 7 Compounds remarkably and tangibly reduce the ratio of fruiting/budding failure which is one of the greatest problems faced by the farmers. The Special 7 Compounds considerably shorten the time period needed by the plant before fruiting. They help the plant to become fertile fast and start productivity earlier. The Special 7 Compounds increase the yield or the productivity by 25 to 30 percent on the basis of various crops. Considerably reduce the quantity of fertilizers used and thus reduce the cost of production. These compounds have an important role in ripening of fruits faster and in a typically shortened time period, in some crops like tomato as they promote fast reddening of the fruits by a quite natural but faster ripening process, and at the same time increase the volume of the smaller fruits. The Special 7 Compounds help fast renewal of the plant greenery (shoot) from the blight diseases which generally results in a complete damage of the shoot, or from any kind of adverse pressures suffered by the plant. The Special 7 Compounds promote branching (bifurcation) in the plants which are characterized with this feature. The Special 7 Compounds improve the financial situations of the farmers in seasons of fast falling prices, because these compounds reduces the production cost considerably and increases the quantity of the output compensating the reduced profits due to the price falls. The Special 7 Compounds collection is considered as a complete meal for the plant. There are many more features to be observed by the farmer when these compounds are applied in the field. The Special 7 collection consists of a variety of compounds, each of them with its own special features regarding the different stages of the plant life. These features are briefed below: 11

12 Ultra Flower Fruit Plus : Ultra Flower Fruit Plus is the compound that solves the most important problem faced by vast majority of farmers: the problem of budding and fruiting failure. This compound fully fortifies the floral system and accelerates the fruiting activity of the plant by 40% faster than the normal. But, there is a condition for applying this compound that the shoot and the floral sections of the plant should be developed completely before its application, because this compound has a tendency to hinter the shoot growth if the shoot section is already developed completely. Important Notice: Regarding watermelon and musk melon crops, the farmer should be aware that the in most of the times, the main cause of failure in fruiting is lack of or inadequate pollination. The farmer should be aware of the fact that the effect of this compound could be observed only if the pollination was done properly. Ultra Root Plus : This compound has a very important role in building a powerful foundation of the plant. So, this compound is applied in the beginning stage of the plant life as it helps the plant to form a powerful collection of roots within a typically short period of time. This considerably reflects in a healthy plant. There is no doubt that a powerful and healthy collection of roots makes the very foundation of an energetic and highly productive plant with high competency in production duration, prolonged life and the power to survive any kind of adverse situations like extreme climates, pests and infections. This compound undertakes another important role in fortifying the development of the floral system of the plant by providing the suitable doses in times when the farmer observes any deterioration in the flowering ratio. Additional elements: Trace elements: iron, copper, zinc, manganese, boron, molbedium, Amino Acids, humic acid, volvic acid, stimulants of the plant cytoplasm. 12

13 Ultra Nitro Plus This compound plays an important role in developing a healthy foliar section as it promotes a fast growth of the shoot and, it is used in the primary stages of the plant life, as well as, in other stages, because the foliar section is basically responsible for healthy flowering and fruiting stages. This compound is mostly utilized in foliar crops like lettuce, mallow, spinach, various types of fodder crops and other vegetables. This compound becomes most necessary to restore a healthy foliar section in case of a foliar renewal is needed in the plants that are affected by aerial diseases like the early and delayed blights etc. The Special Compound Ultra Phyto Plus This compound is regarded as the most important of the Special 7 Compounds because it s comprehensive influence on the whole plant parts and the stages of the plant growth like development of roots, flowers and fruits. It works in coordination and friendly along with various kinds of fertilizers and contribute to rapidly revitalize the plant, bringing a very fast and tangible result within a sort period that will not exceed a few days since the time of application. 13

14 Ultra Fruit Plus This compound possesses a particular place among the farmer s choice as it delivers its direct impact on the fruit volume, which in turn results in improved product specifications. It also gives uniformity in shape and size of the fruits, thus eliminates the possibility of producing fruits with lower quality specifications which are sold cheaper than standard products. Ultra Color Plus s Like Ultra Fruit Plus , Ultra Color Plus s also has its place among the farmer s choice as it delivers its direct impact on the fruit volume, which in turn results in improved product specifications. It also gives uniformity in shape and size of the fruits, thus eliminates the possibility of producing fruits with lower quality specifications which are sold cheaper than standard products. 14

15 Ultra Foliar Plus This compound is the best high quality foliar fertilizer which is easily absorbed because it contains the best trace elements and other nutrients needed by the plant. 1. This compound contains a set of organic elements. So, it helps to remove the leftovers of chemicals in the plant body. 2. It stimulates the shoot buds hidden in the plant body and energizes the growing tips of fresh buds. 3. It makes the plant powerful to survive some fungal infections like fluffy and powder whiteness, as it helps producing soft and fresh greeneries, and at the same time gives roughness to the foliar surfaces so that the leaves can effectively resist any fungal attacks against the shoot. 4. It helps to reduce the distance between the phalanges of the plant. This effect is highly observable mainly on tomato and cucumber plants. 5. Ultra Foliar Plus possesses the ability to squeeze the elements out of the pesticides diluted in and applied with it and increase their effectiveness. 6. Ultra Foliar Plus regarded as and observed to be rapid in spreading itself and nutritious to the plant at the same time. It reduces the surface stress of the liquid spray medium which helps it to spread rapidly on the plant. 7. It increases the effectiveness of herbicides and simultaneously removes the negative effects of the pesticides and herbicides used on the plant. 8. While spraying the pesticides for nematodes, it is recommended to add 2 3 liters of Ultra Foliar Plus (4-4-4) in the pesticide tank, for the best results. 9. This compound is an revitalizing agent which fortifies the plant to fight against and survive any adverse circumstances. 10. It can be used in high temperature climates because it is soft on the plant and will not cause any burns. 11. It can be added to the pesticides to improve their efficiency and to reduce their possible ill-effects on the plant. 15

18 Ruya Phoss High purity phosphoric compound (a nutrition formula built on the plant property of cytoplasm) Chemical Structure: N = 0% P = 45% K = 6% + Trace Elements Advantages of use: Promotes increased development of subsidiary roots from the main root. Increase the activities of the root hairs which is responsible for absorbing the elements. Reduces the soil PH (works as a partial treatment for salty soils) Tangibly increases growth of the floral system Absorbed more rapidly than any other phosphoric compounds. Mixable with urea Contains a proportion of potassium and a proportion of trace elements Rapidly compensates the shortage of the element of phosphor. Dissolves the static elements of the soil Applied at a ratio of 3 to 5 liters per each hectare. 18

19 Main fertilizer combinations of this compound When Ruya Phoss is used with nitrogen compounds like Super Green or the compound, the both promote powerful, high and very distinctive foliar and floral growths within a time period less than 48 hours. Ruya Phoss can be mixed with any other phosphoric compound like , MAP, urea phosphate or as it rapidly fills the shortage of phosphor element in the plant. 19

20 Plant Power A compound derived from a complex chemical interaction, which contains macro and micro elements in addition to the cytoplasmic and physiological impacts. Chemical structure: N = 0% P = 33% K = 44% Trace elements + other stimulant substances. Advantages of use: In low temperatures it works with high efficiency to provide the plant with potent power within a typical time less than a few hours since it was applied because it will be absorbed very easily and smoothly by the plant body, and as a result, any case of stress that the plant may be exposed to will be eliminated. Finely serves the plant needs of potassium elements. This compound can be absorbed by the plant in conditions of zero degree temperature; and that is the most important feature of this compound as it works in very low levels of temperature. It has high efficiency to promote bio-immunity of the plant. 20

21 Main fertilizer combinations of this compound: Increases the productive capacity Plant Power gives the plant readymade power with its chemical interaction between potassium and phosphor. Easily absorbed by the plant. Low ratio of usage: 4 to 5liters per hectare. When mixed with Super Green, Plant Power provides extraordinary foliar growth and fruiting. We count this as typical and observed on vegetable and especially on cucurbits (like zucchini, cucumber, watermelon, muskmelon and pumpkin etc.) As to peppers and eggplant, we find a very nice impact especially when the plant goes through a stress or fruiting stage. Plant Power has a big and important role in increasing the specific weight of the grains (like wheat and corn) as it accomplishes two important tasks in increasing the specific weight of the grain, as mentioned above, and as a result, this compound brings the average general volume of the output per hectare or acre. 21

22 Ammonium Nitrate Urea + Magnesium Super Green Plus Mgo is considerd as a source of three forms of nitrogen component that is easily absorbed in all climatic situations like extremes of heat or cold. Advantages of usage: Available in three forms ammonic, nitric and urea availing the nitrogen in a better form suitable for the plant. The nitrate (contributing one-quarter of the whole entirety of nitrogen) is ready for the plant as soon as it reaches the root surroundings. Urea (contributing half the total) moves with the water in the soil until it is fermented by the enzymes to ammonic which in its turn forms the three-quarters of the whole nitrogen. The ammoniac attracts the individual molecules of the soil, an thus will not be washed out nor displaced out of the soil, but becomes ready to be absorbed by the root hairs. The remaining part will be transformed by micro organisms into nitrate that is ready to be absorbed by the root hairs. Reduces the negative effects left in the soil by the excessive use of urea. Rapid absorption showing its direct effect on the plant. Reduces the cost of the fertilizers used. 22

23 Main fertilizer combinations of this compound Mixed with Plant Power and Super Green, and can be applied with other phosphoric compounds like MAP, urea phosphate, Ruya Potass (KTS) and Ruya Phoss, as well. 23

24 Chemical Structure 14% Calcium 10% Nitrogen 23% Active organic substances 63% Total of organic substances Advantages of use: A collection of hydroxyl and carboxyl treats and prevents the high ratio of saltiness and the sodium. The acidic ingredients in the form of multi-sugars keep the compound active and protect the soil from erosion. The calcium content of this compound feeds the plant additionally and fulfils its calcium needs. Impact of salty soils on the plants: The formula for removing the salt in the soil It is known that the impact of saltiness on the clay soil is lesser than its impact on the sandy soil. The effect of saltiness on the plant will be proportional to the electric conductivity of the soil structure. And the electric conductivity depends up on the ratio of concentration of salt in the soil. So, the higher the saltiness, the greater the negative effect of it on the plant. 24

25 Properties and Benefits of Clean Salt Clean Salt cleanses the soil out of the sodium elements by way of interchanging between sodium and calcium. Other benefits of using Clean Salt: It prevents the formation of toxic ions. Reduces the osmosis pressure between the roots and the soil. Improvement in the vitality of the plant.

The first dose will be applied after 3 days from transplanting the seedlings. 2 Wheat, barley and corn: 20 liters/hectare applied in four doses. The first dose with the first irrigation directly after plantation, the second dose in the branching stage, the third in the stage of elongation and the last before the stage of the expulsion of spikes. 3 Alfalfa and other fodder crops: liters/hectare. Applied in several doses at a ratio of 3 4 liters/hectare in each dose, the first dose with the first round of irrigation immediately after planting, and then to be continued the same ratio of application one week or 10 days after each harvest. 4 Grapes: liters/hectare applied at a ratio of 3 4 liters/hectare every days, starting from the appearance of the shoot. 5 Fruit trees: liters/hectare applied in a ratio of ml/tree in 4 6 doses during the season, starting before the flowering process until before harvest. 6 Date palms: HumiFeed is applied at a ratio of 500ml/tree in five 100ml doses throughout the autumn and winter seasons. 7 Green landscapes and decorative plants: Applied at a ratio of 12 to 18 liter/hectare every 4 to 6 weeks. In case of surface irrigation, the above quantities must be increased with 50% and the spraying should be skipped in the stage of flowering. 35

36 Al Ruya Platinum Compounds TOP 10 Compounds

37 Philosophy of Top10 The Top10 collection was built on the basis of the most important element in the plants which is called Chlorophyll, as these compounds empower the plant with the high efficiency of producing this element in all of the growth stages, let it be the young, the middle or the last stage of the plant life. When we spray or sprinkle these compounds using the irrigation systems, we find the plant responding positively and restoring its vitality and vigor rapidly within hours, showing its results on the shoots, fruits and the floral sections. This effect can be explained in terms of the condition of a diabetic patient who s pancreas gland fails to produce the insulin hormone and the body starts to deteriorate rapidly, and in between the gap of a moment, if the pancreas restores its activity of insulin production again naturally, the rapid improvement in the patient s condition becomes clearly observable for us. With the help of this peculiarity of chlorophyll production of Top10 compounds, combined with the cytoplasmic and physiologic activities, we can observe the fast action of these products being transformed to quality in the fields, within a short time period that will not exceed 24 hours after they were sprayed or sprinkled on the plant. Top10 compounds distinguish themselves with their ability to shorten the time needed by the plant to fulfill its several growth stages by 30% to 40% than the normal standards; which in turn, results in a longer-than-standard productive life for the plant; thus the best possible yield in terms of volume and quality and the eventual high profitability for the farmer

38 Top Advantages of using this compound 1. It clears the plant out from any toxicities that might be caused by wrong use of chemical pesticides, within a typical time period not exceeding hours. 2. It compensates, within a few hours, any lack of nutrition that may appear on the plant, as it contains the best rare elements chelated to be easy for the shoot and root system to absorb and transfer to the plant body. 3. In addition to the above features, this formula was designed on the basis of cytoplasmic, physiologic and morphologic properties, so as to reflect the result of its usage externally on the plant in a rapid way, within a period not exceeding 48 hours after the plant was sprayed with this compound. 4. This compound was formulated as , i.e. as 2:3:4 representing the formulation of the main elements of NPK; which is regarded as the best formulation for the plant, resulting in a more fortified immunity for the plant against any diseases or infections. 5. It has the direct and positive effect on building a quite distinguished shoot system. Reasons to use this compound: 6. This compound is used on vegetable crops through the productivity stages, especially at the starting of this stage, after the flowering budding process, and throughout the sequential fruit generations that produced by the plant. 7. It is also used in the crops that produces tubers like potato, broccoli and carrot etc. through the intermediate stage, i.e. the stage since the forming of tubers and their growth using potassium fertilizers used for attaining proper volumes.

52 Our Fingerprint Distinguishes Us

53 Special Compounds Important effects of different fertilizer compounds and The Special Compounds on the wheat crops. The main stages: 1 The first stage of growth and branching 2 The second stage of elongation 3 The third stage of spike expulsion and grain filling. 53 First Stage: The stage of primary growth and up to branching Ultra Root Plus (6-31-0) and Ruya Phoss (0-45-6) have an important role in this stage as explained as follows: 1. Increasing the volume and strength of roots to fortify the capacity of the plant to absorb. 2. This compounds contain substances that can stimulate the growth of buds in the branch-bases of the plant. This feature helps to increase the number of branches in a single plant. 3. The Ultra Root Plus (6-31-0) compound, with the other compounds of the Special Collection, empowers the wheat plant to survive the nematode attack on the roots by growing compensative substitutes for roots destroyed by nematodes. This feature of the compound makes the destructive effect of nematodes lesser by a great extend, and in a tangible way.

54 4. The application of Humi Feed also is needed simultaneously with the soluble fertilizer Ruya Fert and the liquid fertilizer in this stage. 5. Foliar spray of Super Green is also needed in this stage as it works to build a distinctive shoot system, which is very important to estimate the volume of production. 6. The compound has a big effect in building a powerful plant by the structural means, as it is considered as an excellent source of nitrogen, phosphorus and potash. Second Stage: Stage of elongation and formation of spikes The compounds of Phyto Plus (8-8-8), 4Top ( ), Ultra Flower Fruit Plus ( ) and Ultra Nitro Plus ( ) have very important role in this stage as they work for forming stronger and efficient spikes (ears), preparing every requisites for forming the wheat grains and so, producing distinctive quality specifications. Moreover, The Plant Power ( ) has the main and important role in fortifying the plant with the vital energy to complete the stage of spiking easily. 54

55 Third Stage: Developing spikes & grains The compounds of Ultra Phyto Plus (8-8-8), Ultra Fruit Plus (8-0-28), 4Top ( ), Ultra Color Plus ( s), like Plant Power ( ) and Ruya Potass ( s), possess the main role in weight-specification of the wheat grain, which in turn results in increase of product weight/hectare with a ratio of more than 20% than the normal ratio. Ultra Flower Fruit Plus ( ) has remarkable role in this stage, as it works on: 1. Increasing the cytoplasmic activity inside the plant 2. Increasing absorbance of the elements and other materials effectively from soil through the roots resulting in filling the grains with its natural ingredients and so, reducing the possibility of the problem of wheat kernels atrophy, which is one of the main problems faced by wheat farmers in various agricultural regions of Saudi Arabia. 3. By reducing the atrophy problem of wheat kernels, this compound helps the wheat cultivators earn significant increase in quality and quantity of their product. 4. Increased specific-weight of the wheat grains results in increased productivity. 55

56 Other remarks on Ultra Foliar Plus (4-4-4) Advantages of using Ultra Foliar Plus (4-4-4) are as follows: 1. Absorption of pesticides out of the plant body 2. As this compound contains efficient stimulants, it highly helps the plant to recover from adverse effects of herbisides and pesticides against nematodes. 3. Ultra Foliar Plus has an ability to spread the pesticides evenly on the plant body as it contains spreading agents. 4. This compound saves the usage of trace elements 5. Increases the speed of splitting of cells and so helps to compensate the adverse effects of frost, renew the cells, enhance fast growth of foliar, flower & fruit buds and thus extends the plant life and lengthen the productivity. 56

57 Al Ruya Special Componds & Various Crops Fodder Crops In Saudi Arabia, fodder is one of the most important and strategic crops, on which majority of cultivators rely. That s why, Alruya Company developed a group of special compounds that can directly enhance the fodder crops productivity, quality-wise and quantity-wise, as follows: 1. Achieve an increase of 20 to 30% in productivity. 2. Improve fodder quality in terms of color, leaf-thickness and leaf-size. 3. Increase in foliar intensity per area, by increased number of sidebranches. 4. The Special Compounds have remarkable partial impact of reduced weeds and fast growth of fodders. The fast growth of fodder plants will discourage the weed growth by blocking the sun rays from reaching them. 5. Shortened time span of 5 to 7 days between harvests, compared to crops not treated by these compounds, as a result of faster growth. 6. Fortified root system, increased vitality and faster movement of elements from roots to shoots resulting in taller plant and larger shoot. 7. Increased plant activity in winder and summer seasons, resulting in more number of cuts (harvests); at least two cuts per year. The Economic Aspect 1. Reducing harvest interval into 5 to 7 days in alfalfa, 10 to 15 days in rhodes grass will reduce use of fuel, water, labor and other expenses remarkably. 2. Increasing the number of cuts per year will clearly increase the income. 3. Increase in unit price, at least 2 Riyals/unit as a result of darker green color, lesser graying after harvest, least weeds per unit and larger shoots. 4. Rise in productivity up to 20 to 30% than normal average. Feasibility of usage of Special Compounds In addition to the above-discussed advantages achieved by the farmer by using the Special Compounds, the cost of production is far lesser by means of the increase in productivity and the difference in price as a result of improved quality. 57

58 Alfalfa Crop The Special Compounds have their remarkable impact on improving the specifications of yielding alfalfa crops under pivot irrigation, as these compounds work on: Noticeable increase in productivity in suitable field conditions like: - Satisfactory amount of irrigation for the crop, as the shortage or uneven distribution of water from the sprayer nozzles will affect the productivity of alfalfa crops. - Treatment of the salinity of the soil in conditions of high proportions of salts in the soil of the cultivated lands. In such cases, acid fertilizers and ant-salinity agents like Clean Salt should be applied. Increase in productivity up to 20 25%, and sometimes up to 50%. Advantages of using the Special Compounds in alfalfa crops 1. Improvement in the crop specifications by amount and volume of leaves along with elongated stalks. 2. Increased productivity by 20 30% more than normal averages. 3. More powerful side-branching with noticeable increase in the number of branches. 4. Distinctively darker green color which is highly preferred by the livestock breeders. 5. Reduced period between harvests. One extra cut per year rather than normal number of cuts means remarkably minimized costs of labor, water, fuel and other inputs per year. 6. Getting the best price per units of alfalfa as a result of highly improved quality specifications. Important remarks Among the most important facts that every alfalfa cultivator whose farm is in a miserable situation should be aware of what is really going on most of the times. He should be aware that the productive results of the Special Compounds may start to appear only from the second and third harvests, because the Special Compounds begin fortifying the plant from its root systems first. The roots are energized remarkably in the first place and there will be a real increase in the number of major and minor roots. This helps the plant to absorb more and grow healthier and faster. The farmers may be surprised and concluding that the fields are excellently healthy, and he really needs not to apply high amounts of fertilizers before the second cut. But this does not happen in good fields and so the farmers who uses the Special Compounds get good results. 58

59 Illustrative example for the feasibility of using Al Ruya Products For example: If we have a 20-hectare alfalfa field yielding 180 to 200 bricks per hectare, so the increase in the productivity by using Al Ruya products will start from the highest rate of productivity that is normally known to the farmer. For example, if the average productivity of the field is 180/ hectare, the increase by application of Al Ruya product will be by 20%, which is =216 bricks/hectare. The total production of 20 hectares will be 20 x 216 bricks = 4320 bricks, and the total increase is 36 x 20 = 720 bricks. Firstly, the estimated increase in the price of the alfalfa bricks treated by the Al Ruya Special Compounds: (12 Riyals to 13.5 Riyals) 1.5 Riyals multiplied by 4320 bricks = 6480 Riyal Secondly, the estimated increase by 20% in production is 720 bricks x 12 Riyal = 8640 Riyal. The gain by means of 20% increase of productivity added to the gain by means of increase in brick price as a result of high quality specifications (SR SR 6480) is equal to SR While the estimated cost of using the Special Compounds is SR 4000/-, the achieved profit margin is (SR 11120/-). This amount is the additional profit earned exclusively as a result of using Al Ruya Special Compounds, instead of using other ordinary fertilizing programs in an area of 20 hectares; as it is explained in a table below. Note: Price/brick of the alfalfa crop harvested from the field portion treated by Al Ruya Special Compounds is SR 13.5/-, instead of SR 12/-, the price of the brick harvested from the untreated portion. This difference is the result of high marketing quality specifications of the brick. 59

60 20-hectare alfalfa field treated with ordinary fertilizing program 20-hectare alfalfa field treated with ordinary fertilizing program + Al Ruya Special Compounds Additional cost: SR 0/- Additional cost: SR 4000/- Achieved productivity: 3600 bricks Price soled at: 12x3600=43200 Riyal Total value of sale: SR 43200/- Time saving: nil Labor, water and fuel saving: nil Increase in number of cuts/year: nil Achieved productivity: 4320 bricks Increase by 20% Price sold at: 13.5x4320=58300 Riyal Total value of sale after deducting the cost of Al Ruya Special Compounds: = Riyal Time saving: 7.5 days Labor, water and fuel saving: expenses of 7.5 days saved Increase in number of cuts/year: 2 cuts 60

61 Potato Potato is considered as one of the most important green crops in the Arab World, and in large number of world countries, as it is placed fourth of the world food crops after wheat, corn and rice. Potato is regarded as one of the most fluently manured greenery, as it responds to the fertilizers very much. The growth season of potato in Saudi Arabia is shorter and the typical temperature for the crop is not always prevalent in the season. While the length of growth season of potato crops is 140 days approximately in countries like Holland, its 120 days in Saudi Arabia, except in regions like Wadi Dawasir and Al Jouf. As the crop is outcome of the process of photosynthesis, respiration, absorption of nutrients and water and transpiration, and as all these activities are affected by environmental factors and physiological situations, we sensed the possibility of positive impact of Al Ruya Special Compounds on potato crops. They have their direct effect on the plant cytoplasm which results in making the plant in an approximately stable and constant state of vitality, even in the extremely adverse weather conditions of Saudi Arabia. For instance, applying large amounts of nitrogen in high-temperature situations will delay the process of tuber formation and result in reduced yields. It was observed in Al Jouf region that the application of Al Ruya Special Compounds reduced the delaying effect of extreme temperatures on the process tuber formation, on the number of tubers, on the extend of tuber distortion and on the tuber-shaping process in summer crops in Al Jouf. 61

62 And, in Al Qassim region, the effect of frost on the shoots was found remarkably reduced in conditions of below-zero-temperature in the region, starting from 04/12/2006 to 09/12/2006. And we assure that there are other factors also to be considered and aware of for their negative and positive impacts on the crop along with the usage of Al Ruya Special Compounds. They are as follows: 1. Seed quality and the extend of preparation 2. Quality and quantity of irrigation water and homogeneity of sprinkling it all over the field. (Programming the pivot sprayers corresponding to the stock of water) 3. Soil-type (sandy muddy), soil-salinity and PH number. 4. Area distances of cultivation 5. Selection of suitable compound from Al Ruya Special Compounds for each stage of plant growth; as the potato plant goes through four growth stages from cultivation to harvest as follows: Shoot growth: starts from seedling and prolongs to growth of 8 to 12 leaves. Beginning of tuber forming: Tubers start to appear on the ends of the ground-stalks (extensions) within the 7th and 8th weeks from cultivation date, along with stable shoot-growth. Growth of tubers: Most of the prepared nutrients will be moved towards the formed tubers and the tuber-size will be enlarged gradually. Completion of tuber-formation: The tuber-walls get thicker, the proportion of the dry matter reaches its maximum limits and the shoot starts to grow older. When designing a fertilizer program for potato crops, better consider the amount of elements that reach into the tubers and considering that these amounts largely affect the amount of yields and the factors that affect the yields. 62

64 Al Ruya Special Compounds And Their Impacts on Fruits And Vegetables Watermelon and Muskmelon Vegetables Greenhouses Onion Tomato Cucumber Dates Protected and open-field crops

65 Watermelon & Muskmelon Al Ruya Special Compounds plays a tremendous role in increasing the productivity of watermelon and muskmelon crops by means of quality and quantity. These compounds work on fortifying each of the various growth stages of the plants. They energize the plant helping to develop powerful roots, shoots, flowers and fruits resulting in highly increased productivity and profitability at the same time. Formation of powerful roots and distinctive shoot: This stage includes application of both and , at the beginning stage of growth; applied as 2 doses, the first of them when the second leaf appeared, and the other after 7 days from the first dose. Ultra Phyto Plus (8-8-8) is added after this stage in consistency with other fertilizer applications in the growth stage. The soluble fertilizers Berk Fert , Berk Fert , Supergreen and Ultra Nitro Plus are also recommended. Flowering stage: Enough caution is advised in this stage as the flowering stage means the stage before appearing flowers, and Ultra Root Plus should be added here along with Berk Fert or Berk Fert for achieving a good floral system and as a result, the second stage is prepared. 65

66 The second stage of developing nodes and Ultra Flower Fruit Plus is to be added at that stage as this compound works on typically reducing the possibility of failure to develop fuit-nodes. So, it helps fruiting and fruit growth in typical speed and help the fruits to survive this fatal stage easily. The stage after appearing fruit nodes and formation of fruits: This stage is considered as important because the plant in this stage will be very sensitive as the process of enlargement of the fruits begins very fast and it is clear that the watermelon and muskmelon fruits are big fruits and absorbs large amounts of nutrients from the plant. Therefore, if the plant is not efficient enough to meet the needs of the fruit-bearing branches, it will end up in weakness and destruction. Or the fruits will grow slowly and the target of getting fruits with high quality specifications will not be fulfilled. Al Ruya Special Compounds possess the potential to make the plant efficient and energetic enough to fulfill the needs of all the fruits that formed on its branches, by enhancing the activity of cytoplasm inside the plant body. Therefore, each and every fruit gets its due share of various nutrients helping it stay intact and grow without premature dropping down. In this stage of growth, plant needs the following compounds: 1. Ultra Phyto Plus Ultra Foliar Plus Ultra Fruit Plus Plant Power Ruya Potass s 6. Berk Fert The compound Berk Fert and Berk Fert as well are recommended for their remarkable support in fortifying the shoot system constantly and enabling the fruits to absorb their regular needs of nutrients, resulting in fruits high in marketing quality specifications. Important remarks: Providing the elements of phosphor and nitrogen in small dosages in the stage of fruit-growth is a must, to protect the shoot system from being too weak to bear the fruits. 66

67 Some applications using Special Compounds on vegetables: In case of using Al Ruya Special Compounds at the beginning stages of plant growth, after seedling and after the plant becomes stable in the greenhouse, it is advised that the program bellow is recommended as a supplementary along with the ordinary fertilizing program followed by the farmer on his own. (That means application of Al Ruya Special Compounds along with other fertilizers) First Week: Add Ultra Root Plus in two doses with an interval of 4 days between the both; applying the Special Compounds along with the regular fertilizing program followed in the project, at a ratio of 1 liter/500m2. Second Week: Add Ultra Phyto Plus at a ratio of 1.5 liter / 500m2 greenhouse. Add as a second batch Ultra Nitro Plus at a ratio of 1 liter and Berk fert along with the regular fertilizing program followed by the farmer. Third Week: Add 1 liter of Ultra Phyto Plus kg of Rooya Fert to a 500m2 greenhouse. Add 1.5 liter of Ultra Root Plus along with the regular fertilizing program followed by the farmer. Fourth Week: Add 1.5 liter of Ultra Flower Fruit Plus Add 1.5 liter of Ultra Fruit Plus along with the regular fertilizing program followed by the farmer. 67

68 Fifth Week: Add Al Ruya Special Compounds as needed; add 1 liter of Ultra Phyto Plus for 500m2 greenhouse weekly, and then add the other compound weekly according to the situation of the plant. Rooya Fert is also advised to use within the recommended fertilizing program. Greenhouses In case of using in greenhouse cucumber in its productive stage, the method of manure is as follows: Spray the cucumber plants with Ultra Foliar Plus at a ratio of 2ml/1 liter of water, and repeat it every two weeks. Add 2 liters of Ultra Phyto Plus kg of Rooya Fert in two doses with an interval of 3 days between the both; along with the followed fertilizing program. 68 Note: The first and the second batch: 1st and 2nd batches of application are considered as refreshment for the plant, in which the signs of improvement in the health of the plant, increased yields, progressive shoot system, fast growth and beginning the process of production gradually are clearly noticeable to the farmer; where fruits with various sizes appear as a positive sign of starting stable and continuous fruiting with a satisfying quantity in each reap along with remarkable improvement in fruit specifications. Third Batch: Use Rooya Fert at a rate of 2kg/house Fourth Batch: Add Ultra Phyto Plus at a rate of 2 liter/house Fifth Batch: Add Rooya Fert at a rate of 2kg/house

69 Sixth Batch: Adding Ultra Flower Fruit Plus is recommended for promoting the flowering process. After the above dosages, it will be possible for the farmer to determine and select the needed kind compound from among Al Ruya Special Compounds according his reading of the plant, as well as other soluble fertilizers needed to be applied. The very important fact farmer should be well-aware of is that, after using Al Ruya Special Compounds for the first time on producing greenhouse cucumber, he will notice extra ordinary rise in production for a limited period of time, may be for a week, and it will then reverse down quite temporarily, but the real ratio of productivity is higher than normal known averages and the cause is the impact of Al Ruya Special Compounds on the plant, making it highly efficient in the cytoplasmactivity. By absorbing Alruya Special Compounds, the plant attains the capacity to produce within 7 to 10 days what it could normally produce within a period of 20 days. In practical, the original productivity of the plant, before being treated by the Special Compounds, tremendously increased becoming very fast and, so, increased the productivity extraordinarily within a very typical time period. At the same time, farmer could notice distinctively faster floral and fruit renewal going on the plant-body, which makes it renovate itself and rapidly restore to the excellence of productivity again within a very short time period from the temporary falling stage of productivity. Note that this phenomenon will not affect the plant against its stable production activity with its elongated productive life. On the contrary, the vitality of the plant remains constant at an above average level rather than known normal plant life in natural circumstances. 69

70 Tomato Either in protective poly-houses or open-field, tomato gets highly affected by Alruya Special Compounds, and this effect is reflected as below: 1. Tremendously fast growth of the plant, surprising the farmer to see his field after being treated with Al Ruya Special Compounds, finding it get forward from a stage of growth to another within typically short time periods which is strange to the farmer in normal circumstances. 2. Tomato crop does not get affected by adverse situations that the plants go through like extremes of heat and cold which form a big problem in the life of tomato crops. 3. Use of Al Ruya Special Compounds reduces the standard ripening time by making the fruit s life span, from flowering to harvest, shorter than normal. 4. Uniformity in fruit-sizes is attained by using these compounds, resulting in high marketing quality specifications. 5. Rise in productivity rate per unit area. Using Al Ruya Special Compounds brings high levels of productivity rather than known natural levels, as a result of high efficiency of plants to increase its productivity by means of quantity and quality, as well as longer productive life-time. 6. It is important to notice the phenomenon of remarkably decreased failure in fruit-nodding, and credit goes to the nature of Al Ruya Special Compounds which gives great energy to the flower to make its nodding process so easy at any climatic situations. It is remarkable to notice the speed of fruit-growth immediately after their nodding procedure. Use of Ultra Phyto Plus at a ratio of 2 liter/poly-house, twice a week, is recommended to achieve the above mentioned specifications, and when the plant reaches the flowering and nodding stage, Ultra Color Plus should be added in specific doses, not exceeding once or twice consecutively, at the stage of flowering and nodding, and then again get back to the main compound, Ultra Phyto Plus as a supplementary with other fertilizer compounds, according to various growth stages. One of the most important fertilizer compounds we recommend to rely on is Berk Fert , as it forms 70% of the tomato fertilizing plans. 70

71 Therefore, this compound possess an important feature that the nitrogen content is neither so high, nor so low, which makes the plant absorb its need from this element in a typical manner; as well, the potassium element also is not so high; so the plant can take its need from this element also. Besides tomato, this compound has its special effect on a lot more crops like cucumber, zucchini, peppers.. etc. Cucumber Poly-houses After seedling, and after getting the seedlings stable on earth, add per 500m2 as follows: First Week: 1. 1 liter of Ultra Root Plus per poly-house of 500m kg of Rooya Fert

72 3. Abundance of water+0.5 liter Humic Acid 4. 1 kg water solubel Rooya Fert liter of Phosphoric Acid per poly-house 6. 1 liter of Ultra Root Plus per 500m2 poly-house Second Week: 1. 1 liter of Ultra Phyto Plus kg of Berk Fert Kg of Berk Fert kg of Magnesium Sulphate 4. 1 liter of Ultra Nitro Plus kg of Rooya Fert water soluble kg of Berk Fert liter of Humic Acid Third Week: liter of Ultra Phyto Plus kg of water soluble Rooya Fert liter of Humic Acid kg of water soluble Rooya fert liter of Ultra Root Plus kg of Calcium Nitrate Fourth Week: 1. 2 liter of Ultra Color Plus kg of water soluble Rooya Fert kg of water soluble Rooya Fert kg of Potassium Sulfate + 1 kg of Magnesium Sulphate 5. 2 liter of Ultra Phyto Plus kg of water soluble Rooya Fert kg of Calcium Nitrate Fifth Week: 1. 2 liter of Ultra Fruit Plus kg water soluble Ruya Fert kg of Potassium Nitrate kg Magnesium kg of Rooya Fert kg of potassium sulphate + 1 kg of Magnesium Sulphate 5. 2 liter of Ultra Phyto Plus kg of Berk Fert kg water soluble Rooya Fert kg Calcium Nitrate 72

73 Onion Onion is considered as one of the most important greenery crop in Arab World and in a lot of world countries, because of its various herbal and nutritional benefits. Onion cultivation was developed in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia during the last fifteen years, and became one of chief crops in Saudi agricultural fields. Cultivation Seasons: 1. Onion is cultivated in Saudi Arabia in three main seasons 2. In the winter season, onion cultivation begins from the end of October up to the middle of November. 3. The spring season of onion plantation starts with the end of January and go on till the middle of February. In the summer season, the plantation starts in March and continues to the middle of April in Al Jouf region; in addition to two other seasons; a) An autumn season in Hail area, starting the plantation in August and harvested in January and February. b) An autumn season in Wadi Dawasir, starting cultivation at the beginning of September and harvested through January up to March. The last two seasons are characterized by reduced productivity compared to the normal averages, when the high price rates and the yields reserved for the scarcity times are exploited by onion cultivators. 73

74 Impact of Al Ruya Special Compounds on Onion Crops: 1. Ultra Root Plus works on increasing roots growth rate remarkably, and developing a powerful and larger root system enhancing the plant s ability to absorb the nutrients. The thicker roots means the larger onions reaped. 2. Ultra Phyto Plus works on enhancing vitality and energy of the onion plant in an integrated manner, as it has its powerful impact on the shoot, flower, fruit and root systems of the plant. 3. Ultra Foliar Plus works on neutralizing the phenomenon of scarce elements which sometimes appears on the onion, and helps survive the adverse situations like climatic conditions and fluent use of pesticides. This compound also works as a diluter and distributor of some pesticides evenly on all parts of the plant, minimizing negative impacts of pesticides on the plant to the least possible limit. 4. Ultra Fruit Plus works on improving the size and homogeneity of onions. 74

75 Direct Effect Of Al Ruya Special Compounds On Dates Applying Al Ruya fertilizing program as explained in the following table will bring tremendous positive results on the vitality, the female pollen size, fruiting process and fruit size standards; leading to earning distinctive price-rates for the yields.
