Soil Bacteria: Good for You, Good for Your Crops

Studies indicate that soil microorganisms common to gardening soil can increase serotonin production in the human brain. Serotonin deficiencies have been associated with depression. Mycobacterium vaccae, the common bacterium, is thought to have a positive result on mental health by stimulating the production of serotonin in the human brain.

Farming doesn’t just require hard work and know-how. It also requires a tenacious, positive attitude. Farmers cannot control the weather, tariff policy and a great many other things.

Farmers Can Control Soil Bacteria

Soil nutrition and stimulants offer the farmer an alternative approach and a chance to rebuild the very mechanism that supports and sustains all of our plant life. Modern farming has focused almost exclusively on above ground management with virtually no emphasis placed on below ground management or soil nutrition.

The complexity of the beneficial bacteria in any soil is the principle yield builder. Biological activity in this context refers to the vast numbers and stores of beneficial soil microbes, which are ultimately responsible for all conversions of applied materials and for the continual reproduction of valuable humus stores.

Once a good foundation is prepared with a quality bio-based fertility program, such as with Pro-Soil, soils will start to respond more favorable to chemical fertilizer input. Toxins and heavy metal residue will also start to diminish.

The elimination of these waste byproducts is a critical step in restoring overall soil balance, which invariables will lead to our goal of maximizing potential crop yields and gradually reducing chemical inputs required for optimum plant performance.

Better understanding soil microbiology won’t just help your crops, it’ll also help you feel happier.
