Soil is scientifically proven to be the most valuable asset on any farm. Without productive soil to raise a crop, a farm’s value diminishes greatly and operating cost increase dramatically, which makes it difficult to stay profitable. Soil can degrade and even die in extreme cases, losing the biological properties that sustain life, due to […]
Most farmers understand the importance of the nutrient cycling process for keeping ecosystems in balance. This process replenishes the nutrients used by plants. Organisms that live in the soil play a major role in nutrient cycling by breaking down organic matter (dead plants and animal matter) into inorganic nutrients, which is used by plants fix […]

One of the most important parts of healthy growth is the soil. With some testing, care and amending, increasing crop yields is attainable with improved soil quality. Soil is usually classified as clay, sandy or loamy. Clay soils are rich in nutrients but tend to hold water. Sand soils are just what they sound – […]
For many years, soil microbiologists and microbial ecologists have tended to differentiate soil microorganisms as beneficial or harmful according to their functions and how they can improve soil quality, increase plant growth, increase soybean yield, and improve plant health. As shown in the list below, beneficial microorganisms are those that can fix atmospheric nitrogen, decompose […]

Several factors contribute to good soil structure. First, farmers should reduce tillage, regardless of the tillage system they use. We are not suggesting in any way that everyone should no-till, strip or ridge-till. Farmers can reduce conventional tillage as well. The key is to know the soils being used for growing and adjust tillage practices […]
Pore space in soil, also known as soil porosity, describes the amount of negative space between soil particles. Pores, or pore spaces, get created when plant roots, insects, and earth worms move through the soil. Pore space also gets created when below-ground liquids releases gas and as fertilized materials work their way into the soil. […]

Are your crops getting adequate nutrients to reach their full potential? Crops can often suffer from a phenomenon known as phosphorus deficiency. Since phosphorus is essential for living things, a lack of this nutrient can have severe effects on your crop yield. Phosphorus is second only to nitrogen as the most important nutrient for healthy […]
