SOILSMART HOME
 
With the cost of most plant management inputs linked to diminishing oil reserves, there has never been a better time to implement plant and soil management strategies that can help reduce the need for artificial fertilizers and chemicals.

Long term economic and environmental benefits are available from improving soil balance - optimal plant health is governed by the efficiency by which plants can convert sunlight into sugars and carbohydrates, and extract nutrients and moisture from the soil - tasks which are only achieved with the appropriate balance of both minerals and beneficial soil microbes.
 
Plants grown in well balanced soils typically have higher sugar levels and require less inputs, they also tend to be stronger and more resilient to pests and disease  and have more vigorous root systems, able to utilise soil nutrients more efficiently - (in fact insects don’t like plants with high sugar levels)
 
Well balanced soils also tend to have good soil structure, ensuring adequate Oxygen levels in the root zone - low levels of Oxygen favours disease causing organisms, and poor soil structure adds costs by reducing water use efficiency.

Biologically enhanced soils also retain nutrients in the root zone longer, making them more available and reducing leaching and environmental loss - ensuring you get the maximum value from fertilizer additions. 

Soilsmart products can help build soil balance and activate the health and natural defences of the soil and plants, enabling many of these cost and environmental issues to be addressed.
 
  • Grow stronger, healthier plants.
  • Reduce the frequency and severity of disease events.
  • Build and maintain a natural defensive network against disease & pests.
  • Increase Cation Exchange Capacity & Organic Carbon levels in the soil.
  • Increase the efficiency of use and retention of soil nutrients.
