Increased Microbial Activity, Improved Nutrient Cycling and Better Residue Management

In nature, when plants and animals expire, over time they decay with exposure to water, sun, air and the family of naturally occurring microorganisms called decomposers. However, in most commercially farmed soils, biological activity in the soil has become very low. This leaves partially decomposed organic matter and crop residue to accumulate, minimizing the soil’s effectiveness to transfer nutrients and increasing the risk of seedling disease. The result is a greater dependence on applied fertilizers and chemical fungicides to sustain favorable growing conditions.

FoliarBlend re-invigorates this natural biological process by increasing the populations of indigenous decomposing microorganisms in the soil. In fact, research by EMSL Labs, New York, NY, verified FoliarBlend was able to stimulate microbial activity by 3400% within 24 hours of application. This improves the natural bio-degradation process which allows the earth to recycle itself, resulting in more organic matter and the production of humus, a valuable source of plant nutrition. By stimulating microbial activity, crops benefit from an increase in available nutrients as well as the production of plant beneficial proteins, enzymes, antibiotics, and growth stimulants these microbes generate. The plant/soil system becomes healthier and more efficient in its uptake of nutrients, requiring less water and applied fertilizers to produce higher crop yields.

Quality Over Quantity.
More of the Good, Less of the Bad

While high microbial populations in a growing environment are important, a better indication of a soil’s health and production capabilities are the types of microbes involved. This brings to light another advantage of FoliarBlend, the ability to minimize disease and soil borne pathogens while elevating the numbers of beneficial species. In numerous replicated studies, the ingredients in FoliarBlend have demonstrated the ability to significantly lower several groups of deleterious and disease causing microbes in a variety of soil types.
