As the El Niño winter descends across the corn and soy belt, weather forecasts point to a different, and less predictable, spring. This means getting products and crops planted will be a mad dash. Using Bio 800⁺ Agriculture becomes paramount for farmers looking to maximize their crops when faced with unpredictable conditions like this.

Why Use Holganix Bio 800⁺ Agriculture On Your Farm?

It all comes down to soil health and investing in the legacy of your family's farm! Holganix Bio 800⁺ Agriculture harnesses the power of over 800 species of soil microbes to increase yield, improve crop resilience against stress, and boost soil health. 

At Holganix, we believe that by charging soils with diverse microbes we help our farmers improve the health of their soils, investing in the legacy of their farm for future generations. 

Developing A Deep Extensive Root System, Quickly

When the season turns from spring to summer in a short period, getting roots established is key for the crop to withstand the dry, hot periods that are sure to follow. The faster you can develop an extensive root system, the faster your crop can catch up to the development it usually sees under ordinary circumstances. 

Microbes in Holganix Bio 800⁺ Agriculture, like mycorrhizae fungi and plant growth-promoting bacteria, focus on developing a strong, web-like root system as quickly as possible for the crop.

Replenishing Soils With Microbes During Flooding/Wet Conditions 

Ground that is saturated with water will become anaerobic, or very low in oxygen, and the aerobic microbes drown, leaving their population to decline rapidly. Tilling or leveling ground damaged by last year’s harvest, from winter weather and/or floods, also kills microbes, particularly beneficial fungi. The drop in aerobic, beneficial microbes not only opens the door to microbial pathogens (which don’t require oxygen), but further nutrient cycling will decline since this process is dependent on beneficial microbes. This means nutrients in cover crops, plant debris, manure, and even synthetic fertilizer will be less available to the new crop. 

Holganix Bio 800⁺ Agriculture contains over 800 species of beneficial soil microbes and when applied to soils, replenishes critical aerobic soil microbe populations that are harmed during wet conditions and necessary field repairs.
