More life in your soil means better crops. Soil biodiversity is the key to improving nutrient cycling, crop resiliency, water efficiency, and input reduction.
Nutrient Cycling
Diverse soil microbes are essential for efficient nutrient cycling. They make nutrients bioavailable to plants and support nutrient uptake. Increases in both nutrient bioavailability and nutrient uptake lead to healthier plant growth and fewer wasted nutrients.
“In the EnSoil treated block, highly statistically significant increases occurred in microbial populations activating key nutrients (N, P, S and Fe.) These powerful changes in the soil were confirmed by a yield increase in the EnSoil block of 13%.” — Herb Young, Squeeze Citrus LLC, Georgia
Crop Resiliency
Beneficial soil microbes support crop resilience by regulating pest and pathogen populations, thus reducing disease pressure. Additionally, crops are more resilient to abiotic stressors such as heat and drought due to a diverse and active soil microbiome.
“An observational increase in earthworm activity in the soil treated with EnSoil is a strong indicator of overall soil health improvements. We do not usually see this amount of earthworms in the hot area of Texas at this time of year. We also observed less nutsedge pressure in the EnSoil treated plots.” — Fred Morales, Morales Feed & Supply, Texas
Water Efficiency
Water retention and infiltration rates increase when improving soil biodiversity. Soil microbes improve soil structure and porosity, keep moisture levels consistent, and help prevent erosion and run off during strong rains and flooding events.
“Field seems to be retaining moisture better based on previous years. I kept waiting for the new growth to wither but it stayed healthy and has come on strong with the late rains.” — Don Brewer, Suwannee Ranch 505, Florida
Chemical Input Reduction
Soil biodiversity is the key to reducing reliance on chemical inputs and supporting long term soil health. In a system functioning with healthy microbial life, nutrient availability and uptake increase and pest and disease pressure decrease, thus allowing for a reduction of inputs, healthier crops, and strong yields.
« The circles with EnSoil produced an extra 1.5 tons per acre while reducing fertilizer by 30%. It is a solid return on the investment.” — Wes Lundeen, Kansas
Why Use EnSoil Algae™?
Living microalgae builds biodiversity faster than any other tool available to farmers. The results we’ve seen in the field speak for themselves.
