Experts Report on Important Role of Biologicals
“In the top 6 inches of soil, every 1% organic matter contains 25 lbs Nitrogen, 10-12 lbs Phosphorous and Potassium”
As a Company, we believe that every acre of farmed ground will benefit by incorporating a biological program into its fertility Program. This due to the fact that the microbial life in the soil is necessary to convert applied fertilizers and other forms of nutrients into available plant food that the crops can use. We have taught growers for years how to incorporate these programs onto their farms, with tremendous success. As the industry continues to see the benefits, many experts are dedicating more and more study to this subject. Over the past couple years, you are seeing entire editions of magazines dedicated to discussing the benefits of biologicals. The following are just a few excerpts from major publications on the importance of addressing your soil biology and soil health, and what independent experts are sharing:
“Most growers think they apply fertilizer to feed the crop, but 60% of fertilizer never reaches the plant. It is the complex interactions between soil microbes and the crop that feed the plant.”
-Building Better Soils, The Furrow, February 2013
“Soil quality pays off in many ways, but perhaps none impacts the bottom line more dramatically than the reduction in input costs. In healthy soil, nutrients are cycled more efficiently by the enhanced biological activity, and because of increased root growth and moisture availability, plants are healthier and better able to compete with weeds, pests, and diseases.”
-Manage Nutrients Efficiently, Successful Farming Magazine, September 2011
“There are various types of microbes in the soil that have different roles and functions. Bacteria, Fungi, and Algae supply nutrients to roots through symbiotic processes. Put them together with earthworms and their underground activities determine the organic matter and health of the soil.”
-Microbial Mysteries, The Progressive Farmer, February 2011
“Root systems that are more robust can more efficiently utilize moisture and nutrients to produce healthier and higher yielding plants”
-Healthy Soils Have Positive Impact on Crop Productivity, Ag Weekly, October 2013
“Most growers only focus on the physical and chemical aspects of farming, but until they include the biological component, yields and profitability will be limited.”
-On the Mend, Farm Journal, March 2013
