After the harvest is in, you're left with a field full of crop residue. What you do with it is crucial for next season's success and your farm's bottom line.
Why is it so important to break down that leftover plant material, and how can EnSoil Algae™ help?
1. Recycling Nutrients.
As much as 35% of a plant's nutrition can be released back into the soil for next season’s crop. This requires microbial activity to degrade plant material. EnSoil Algae™ can amplify the microbial population and stimulate the organisms to be more active, speeding up the breakdown.
2. Improving Your Seedbed and Planting
In addition to the benefit of nutrition, a faster breakdown can greatly influence the seedbed, ensuring a smoother planting process by improving standability.
The Profitability Connection
These outcomes have a huge impact on profitability. You save money on fertilizer and potentially increase your yield thanks to a healthier start for your crop.
Best practice is to apply EnSoil Algae™ with microbe teams designed for decomposition soon after Fall harvest. Early Spring also offers a window of opportunity to improve the breakdown of crop residue.
