Soil is a living resource that requires year-round nourishment. If your goal is long-term productivity and soil health, cover cropping is an excellent starting point, and EnSoil Algae™ is a valuable tool to enhance this system.
Referred to as “Nature’s Swiss Army Knife,” cover crops provide a plethora of benefits that all lead to improved production and profitability. Learn more about these benefits here or through more of Green Cover Seed’s Resources.
How Does EnSoil Algae™ Increase Cover Crop Success?
Cover crops are already working hard to improve your soil, and EnSoil Algae™ supercharges their efforts. EnSoil Algae™ stimulate the soil's microbial community creating a more diverse and active population that can more efficiently convert nutrients into a form the crops can use. This increased nutrient availability means your cover crops grow more vigorously and contain more nutrient density.
Meanwhile, EnSoil Algae™ helps the cover crops themselves become more efficient. It enhances the plants' chlorophyll, allowing them to capture more sunlight and perform photosynthesis at a higher level. This leads to two great outcomes: the plants grow better, and they release more carbon into the soil to feed the very microbes that EnSoil Algae™ stimulated. This creates a positive feedback loop.
Finally, EnSoil Algae™ increases the cover crops' ability to handle stress by helping them release more enzymes that increase their resilience. Additionally, by building a stronger soil structure, EnSoil Algae™ improves the soil's ability to retain water so your cover crops can survive and continue their beneficial work even when conditions are tough.
