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, […]
The main concern for proper soil management is to focus on “nutrient balance.” In our last two blogs we dove into the importance of cations and biostimulants and their individual roles in soil health – in this installment, we will talk about the advantages (and best practices) of using cations and biostimulants in unison to […]
Microflora of disease-suppressive soils is dominated by antagonistic microorganisms which produce antibiotics. These include fungi of the genera Penicillium, Tricho derma, and Aspergillus, and actinomycetes of the genus Streptomyces. The antibiotics they produce can have biostatic and biocidal effects on soil-borne plant pathogens, including Fusarium which would have an incidence in these soils of less […]
The probability that a particular beneficial microorganism will become predominant, even with organic fanning or nature farming methods, will depend on the ecosystem and environmental conditions. It can take several hundred years for various species of higher and lower plants to interact and develop into a definable and stable ecosystem. Even if the population of […]
There are a number of methods that can be used to increase your soybean crop yield this season. At Pro-Soil Agricultural Solutions, we recommend following the guidelines listed below to ensure a strong crop and a bountiful harvest: Reduce soil compaction during fall tillage and harvest operations. Compacted soil will restrict root growth and limit […]
Pro-Soil agricultural products increase the activity of beneficial bacteria and fungi in your fields by improving soil physical properties, mineral availability and by converting organic matter (such as crop residue, compost and other decayed plant/animal material) into nutrient-rich humus – the most important element in highly productive soils. By improving soil structure with bioactive soil […]
The diversity and population factors associated with the soil microflora have discouraged scientists from conducting research to develop control strategies. Many believe that, even when beneficial microorganisms are cultured and inoculated into soils, their number is relatively small compared with the indigenous soil inhabitants, and they would likely be rapidly overwhelmed by the established soil […]
Biostimulants, in their raw form, have been used agronomically for hundreds of years. Broken down into their base components, these organic substances contain humus, amino acids, proteins, vitamins, carbohydrates and simple sugars, all materials that enhance the active biomass in the root zone and improve plant growth and soil vitality. Overuse of chemical pesticides and […]
As a leading manufacturer and distributor of natural soil nutrition and liquid plant food products that enhances the effects of fertilizer and stimulate plant growth, we are often asked what soil types respond most favorably to Below Ground Management strategies. Keep in mind that we are working with Below Ground principles and improving soil energy […]
