Improve Root System, Improve Crop Yields

As a leading manufacturer and distributor of natural soil nutrition and liquid plant food products that enhance the effects of fertilizer and stimulate plant growth, our primary focus is on the improvement of soil conditions, quality of crop and increased crop yields. In addition to evaluating the above ground portion of your crops, we also focus heavily on the increase in root mass that occurs below the ground. Of the 90 individual ingredients in our products, there are 12 inputs that are specifically focused on root stimulation and root formation.

One major benefit to a larger and fuller root system is that plants are able to get to, and utilize more of, the nutrients and water needed to reach their genetic potential. Nutrient availability also reduces stress on the plants and leads to both yield and quality increases.

An equally significant benefit to increased root mass is the quantity of Organic Material being returned back to the soil in the form of roots. In September of this year, Successful Farming Magazine published the article, “6 Components of Soil Quality Management,” regarding the importance of Organic Matter. Some key points in the article include:

• “Soil Organic Matter makes up less than 6% of the soil, but it controls more than 90% of the soil’s function”
• “Organic Matter drives the organisms responsible for healthy soils while it also provides a reservoir of water and nutrients. This helps reduce compaction and increase water infiltration rate.”
• “As for CEC, Organic Matter can hold up to five times more nutrients for plants than can clay.”
• “Good things usually don’t come easy, and that’s the case with increased soil organic matter. You get it by adding crop residue- and more importantly Crop Roots – to the soil.”
• “The best way to add organic matter to the soil is to add MORE ROOTS.”

Our products improve soil health by stimulating and feeding native microbial life in the soil which creates a higher yielding crop. To learn more about how you can increase photosynthetic efficiencies, contact us today!
