  • Biological Farming Helps to Utilize “Hidden” Fertilizer

    “Biological farming releases unused, (bound) fertilizer ‘tied up’ in soils which have been used and abused for years…

    I’ve been involved in agriculture for over 40 years now — farming these fields and involved in crop production for that period of time — and we have found this product to enhance yields probably more than anything we’ve done in the last 40.”

    Corn growers profit an average of $7 for every dollar spent on biological soil management.*

    Wheat, Alfalfa & Oats Grower
    Bigger Root Systems for Better Fertilizer Utilization

    “Biologicals have been a real plus for us. Most of all, I feel like it’s made a big difference in the uptake and utilization of our fertilizer.

    The root systems in our fields are a WHOLE lot bigger — and those roots go out and get more moisture and nutrients for us. As a result, we’ve seen a significant increase in yields.

    My only regret is that we didn’t find Pro-Soil sooner.”

    Soybean, Corn & Cotton Grower
    Release Nitrogen and Other Nutrients Tied Up in the Soil

    “Pro-Soil released nitrogen fertilizer not being utilized because it was tied up in the soil — resulting in increased soil tilth, improved crop health and higher yields on our farm despite last year’s extreme weather in Oklahoma.”
