Here's How MycorrPlus Helps Keep
Grass
Growing Even During Dry Spells
1. MycorrPlus fills the soil with beneficial microbes
MycorrPlus is a bio-stimulant that helps
beneficial microbes to restore
harmony and balance to the soil.
It first inoculates the
soil with over 70 beneficial aerobic bacteria, fungi (including
mycorrhizal fungi) and other microbes.
With adequate moisture (at
least 1.1"), microbes become established in the soil.
MycorrPlus contains sea minerals, fish, kelp, humic and fulvic
acids, and numerous other nutrients. How does MycorrPlus
stimulate microbes? By feeding them
a wonderfully balanced nutrient solution.
2. Beneficial microbes transform the soil
Microbes consume or displace harmful items,
including destructive nematodes, anaerobic
disease causing bacteria, plant toxins,
old weed seed, salts and chemicals. Mycorrhizal fungi establish ever-enlarging
webs to transport nutrients and moisture to plants.
Earthworms, dung beetles and other beneficial
Soil Food Web members multiply greatly, helping to
further transform the soil.
This new
balance in the soil creates greater soil energy,
measured in Ergs.
3. Plants sequester Liquid Carbon to Free
Up Soil Nutrients
Plants sense the departure of
toxins and salts, the multiplication of
beneficial microbes, mycorrhizal fungi and the higher soil energy
level.
Plants
respond to these favorable soil conditions by sequestering massive amounts of
sugars (liquid carbon) into the soil to
cultivate and feed the microbes.
A mycorrhizal plant photosynthesizes much
faster than a plant not supported by
mycorrhizal fungi. By not tilling the soil,
more mycorrhizal networks will form, releasing
ever increasing carbon sequestration.
(Andrew in Michigan told me that he applied
MycorrPlus
in July on his acre of vegetables. Not only
were they "the best available at the Farmer's
Market", but when he dug down into the soil,
the root structures were massive, and he had
never seen such amazing network of mycorrhizal
fungi.)
Microbes
are the chemists of the soil. They respond to
the plant's investment of sugars by turning nutrients
that have been locked
up in the soil into Available Plant Food,
giving the plant an abundance of nutrition.
Therefore, less
NPK blend and Lime are needed. The result of
microbes doing their work is a balance soil
which has a pH close to 7.
4. Microbes use liquid carbon to highly structure the
soil
Microbes feed on the
sugars sequestered by the plant.
Microbes also use the sugars
as gums and glues to glue together soil
particles, constructing for themselves comfortable little living quarters. This
is what structures the soil.
Organic matter IS
carbon, and carbon IS organic matter. The
sequestered liquid carbon (sugar) quickly
builds up more organic matter in the soil,
including humus.
Each year that
MycorrPlus is used, topsoil gets
deeper, more moisture can be stored, and
organic matter and CEC increase. Your farm has
just become one of the highest producing farms
on the planet!
5. Highly structured soil means extra
nitrogen
Soil
microbes flocculate the soil by creating trillions of air spaces in the
soil.
Air that is needed
to support
aerobic bacteria flows down into the soil.
This air is 78% nitrogen.
MycorrPlus
contains Nitrogen Fixing Bacteria that convert
nitrogen from the air into Urea in the soil.
Other
bacteria convert the urea into organic
nitrogen that can't leach or volatilized.
The
result - there is extra nitrogen available to
the plant!
When additional nitrogen is needed,
MycorrPlus
may be applied with fish, composted manure,
28% or 32% N. Just add the MycorrPlus to the tank
first.
6. Highly structured soil means lots of moisture!
Available moisture no longer runs off, but
quickly soaks into the soil. This moisture is
stored in the air spaces of the soil, meaning
much better sub-soil moisture when the weather
gets dry.
It has been suggested
that, just as Nitrogen Fixing Bacteria are able to fix nitrogen,
certain bacteria also attract and hold moisture from the air,
fixing it in the soil. This could help to explain why some of
our customers report good moisture when they have no idea how it
got there.
This
is characteristic of the non-treated half of the field. When the weather turned hot and
dry, grass stopped growing.
MycorrPlus half of the field. When it got hot and dry, grass kept
growing.
To Recap:
MycorrPlus is like a Center Pivot for
Dryland Farmers
Microbes contained in MycorrPlus help to remediate problems in the soil, and
beneficial microbes take over, including mycorrhizal fungi.
MycorrPlus helps to
"turn on the carbon
sequestration switch in the plant", causing huge
amounts of liquid carbon to be sequestered by the plant through
its roots into the soil.
Microbes utilize components of this
liquid carbon to glue soil particles together, thereby highly
structuring the soil.
The air spaces in highly structured soil
are like a sponge, soaking in moisture and holding onto it.
Plants are able to stay green and
growing even in dry spells.
Bottom line?
More consistent soil moisture means more
consistent yields, and more money in your pocket.
