Potassium is the third of the “big three” macronutrients that plants rely on. It facilitates the movement of nutrients, water, and carbohydrates into plant tissue. These processes are crucial in the regulation of photosynthesis and growth. Often, yellowing leaf edges, white spots, and stunted growth are attributed to a water deficiency. While sometimes this can […]
Advances in technology have steadily increased crop yield for farmers in the past century. Finding and correcting the problems within a struggling crop is a multi-faceted process that involves constant inputs and modification. Only once the limiting factor in a crop is identified can it increase potential. One way to conceptualize how a limiting factor […]
For many farmers that are trying to bring their crop yields back to their original output, they believe the answer is to begin adding fertility to the ground, but unfortunately, that is not the case. If the nutrients that are in the soil reserves are ‘tied-up,’ then you have a release problem, which is quite […]
At Pro-Soil Ag Solutions, we believe that below ground soil management is the answer. Biological farming is the surest way to increase soil health and yield, and by treating your soil properly, you will have success for years to come. The primary focus of Pro-Soil Ag Solutions and our products is to improve soil conditions, […]
Pro-Soil Ag Solutions has worked tirelessly to offer an alternative approach to chemically intensive farming for quite some time, now. After countless tests, control crops and a watchful eye on net profits per acre, Pro-Soil Ag Solutions realized that something had to be done about the way we treated our soil. Thousands of farmers like […]
Why biological farming? At Pro-Soil Ag Solutions our goal was to find an answer to preventing low crop yields. After testing and re-testing our soil using fertilizers and other market chemicals that were mainly topical, we decided to dig a little deeper and see what was going on underneath. To maximize agricultural profits on every […]
As farmers and growers, we are consistently trying to make sure our soil is healthy and our crop yields are high. A promising approach to improving plant productivity that has shown great enhancement in our plants involves the development of naturally occurring organic materials or biostimulants. Biostimulants influence growth and development of plants by affecting […]
In our last few blogs we have been discussing the importance of soil management, microorganisms and Effective Microorganisms (EM) to soil. When are you consistently working and re-working your soil, excessive erosion begins to occur throughout the topsoil. Tillage and row-crop production causes extensive soil degradation and can add to groundwater pollution. The future of […]
“Microorganisms” are organisms that can be seen only with the aid of a microscope and that typically consists of only a single cell. Microorganisms include bacteria, protozoans, and certain algae and fungi. The uniqueness of microorganisms and their often unpredictable nature and biosynthetic capabilities, given a specific set of environmental and cultural conditions, have made […]
The rhizosphere is the zone of soil that surrounds the plant root. This zone is where the biology and the chemistry of the soil are influenced by the root – but, there is no distinct edge. The zone is about 1mm wide and is an area of intense biological and chemical activity. This area is […]
