Conquering Nature by Cooperating with it
Science: Discovering the principles
which God established, and learning to work
in harmony with them.
Our soils are a complex thing. Tech-Ag
has been working since 1969 to understand
the mysteries of what makes nutrition work –
in animals, in plants, and in soils.
We have found that bacteria play an
incredible role in living things.
Bacteria are the life or death of the soil.
By encouraging good bacteria activity, we
can literally turn soils around, and bring
them back to health and full production.
GroPal Balance does a
wonderful job at this.
How does GPB encourage good bacterial activity?
· Increase
the humus in the soil, promoting water
retention and air flow (most beneficial
bacteria require oxygen for their
existence).
· Introduce
beneficial strains of bacteria back into the
soil.
· Provide
food sources for bacteria, which then break
down the nutrients so they are available to
the plant.
· Remove
the toxins and salts which hinder bacterial
life.
· Replace
trace minerals, which bacteria can then make
available to the plant.
As soil quality declines, the problems we
must face increase.
Creating Further Problems in the Soil
As we deal with the problems which arise
from poor soil, we can further damage the
soil.
Insect problems: Apply pesticides,
whose toxins hurt our soils.
Nematodes:
Apply nematicides, which kill everything in
their path, including beneficial microbes.
Weeds: Apply herbicides, which
often use salt as a carrier.
Water: Irrigate, which brings
more salts to the soil.
We need to refocus our attention on the core
issue – the life of the soil.
What are the real issues with our soils?
Bacterial activity: Bacteria are
the chemists of the soil. They break
down complex nutrients, and make them
available to the plant.
Ø Organic
matter:
We need to find new
and effective ways to increase organic
matter.
Ø Salts
and toxins:
They negatively
influence productivity.
Ø Trace
minerals:
By not replacing
these, we have mined them from our soils.
Ø Top
soil:
Deeper top soils mean more nutrients
available to the plant.
What can be done on a limited budget?
How do we build up our soils with our
limited resources? Many of you are
already putting in place conservation
measures to help your soil. Measures
such as no till, strip till, etc.
What else can be done? It has taken us
many years to get to our present state of
poor soils. Getting our soils back
into shape will also be a marathon run, not
a sprint. However, GroPal Balance can
greatly increase the pace at which soil is
restored to pristine health.
We at AG-USA don't have all the answers,
but we have found enough answers to help you
to reverse the trend of "death" in your
soil. For 33 years, we have sat at the
feet of men who have devoted their lives to
researching the "whys" of plant and animal
nutrition. We have come to some
significant understanding of why we are
where we are today, and how we can get our
soils back into shape. Finally, we
have sought out products which address the
core issues.
