Biologicals

Get Started

What role do biologicals play in my crop/lawn?

Nutrients in our soils are widely unavailable to plants for uptake in their given form. Soil bacteria break these nutrients down, making them readily available for plant uptake through their digestive processes. Additionally, some of these bacterium offer the developing plants some disease resistance. For seedlings and younger plants with under-developed root systems these bacterial activities are essential, but often under-expressed.

What creates a need for biologicals in seed treatment?

Any disturbed soil is likely to be deficient in beneficial soil biology. Tilling, plowing, flooding, compaction, and fumigation are a few of the practices that greatly deplete beneficial soil biology. Additionally, a lack of humus (dead plant stuff) will result in depleted numbers. These depleted numbers mean insufficient plant-available nutrients unless continuously compensated by crop inputs. With healthy populations of beneficial bacteria, however, macro and micro-nutrients are consistently being produced, whereas the benefit of a crop input is short-term.
