| HOW IT WORKS |
|
Our programs are based on cycling nutrients into the right forms at the right rates for the plants. The right ratio of fungi to bacteria is needed for this to happen, as well as the right numbers and activity of the predators. We also build a soil structure, so oxygen, water and other nutrients can easily move into the soil and into deep, well-structured root systems. Roots should go down into the soil for at least several to 10's and perhaps 100's of feet, but the compaction that humans impose on soil results in toxic materials being produced, preventing good root penetration. The only way to deal with this is to have the proper biology structure in the soil again, so oxygen and water can move into the soil. Organic Soil Solutions programs offer protection of plant surfaces, above and or below ground by making certain the foods the plant surfaces release into the soil are used by beneficial, not disease organisms, making certain that infection sites on plant surfaces are occupied by beneficial, and not disease-causing organisms. And by making certain predators that prefer disease-causing organisms are present to consume disease-causing organisms. When the biology is functioning properly, water use is reduced, the need for fertilizers is reduced, and plant production is increased. |
