Bio-Desolve Soil Carbon Program

Soil microorganisms rebuild the soil and play a major role in soil condition improvements seen due to practices such as crop rotation, mulching and other conventional soil treatments.

Most of these treatments are attempts to increase soil organic matter or humus. The most active part of this organic matter are humates, specifically humic and fulvic acids.

It has been proven that increasing the number and activity of soil microorganisms is an essential means of saving on nitrogen use. By returning organic material to the soil, the resident bacteria, fungi and other beneficial but unseen organisms will thrive – especially along root surfaces.

They feed on the organic carbon compounds and convert nutrients into available forms
Many crops, especially corn, wheat, and canola require high levels of nitrogen for optimum growth.  Legume crops are able to obtain most of their needs from the air through symbiotic nitrogen fixation.  This nitrogen is free if there is a good supply of beneficial microbes in the soil.

Nutrient contamination, odours, solid build-up, and soil borne diseases are not the problems – they are the symptoms of microbial and nutrient imbalance.  This imbalance also makes crop plants more susceptible to disease and insect attack. Our products work to restore a natural balance of microbial life, activating the natural biodigestion system to eliminate the cause as well as the symptoms.

After research on various materials and compounds we are using a combination of 2 different main types of products:

  • Bio-stimulants and
  • Humates.

All elements play an integral part in the overall process.

One component is a natural bio-stimulant in a liquid concentrate form that has a significant impact on the plant-soil system. It contains:

  • enzymes
  • micronutrients
  • amino acids
  • plant growth hormones, and
  • complex carbohydrates

The other component of Soil Carbon Mix is Humic Carbon. What is Humic carbon? Our brand of humic acid:

  • Is the most active part of organic matter
  • Is an alkaline extract of organic matter, typically from lignite coal
  • Is a dark brown or black liquid
  • Is one of the compounds that makes topsoil dark

Independent Testing: 3400% Increase in Microbial Activity

The microbiology division of EMSL Analytical in New York, NY recently investigated the effects of this bio-stimulant when applied to soil media. The soil was tested for colony forming units (CFU) before treatment and then 24 hours later after treatment. The CFU/gram of soil went from 5,500,000 to 187,500,000.

That is over 34 times more colony forming units per gram than the untreated soil.” (Source: Foliar Blend)
