Building The Case For Biodiversity In Soil
For growers using Holganix Bio 800+ Agriculture, an increase in yield and soil health has led to an increase ROI on crops. For example, a Missouri researcher shows a 21.1 bushel increase with Holganix Agriculture and reports that his Holganix corn plots are "the best looking corn plots on the farm." For a California researcher, his strawberry crop saw more and larger strawberries providing a ~$3,000 per acre net revenue increase. This webinar will provide an overview of our trials and the Holganix Bio 800+ Agriculture product.
