In last week’s email, I explained the rhizosphere’s role in supporting plant health. To recap, the rhizosphere forms as beneficial bacteria colonize around the root system. Ultimately, it serves as a chemical and physical barrier to protect roots and assist with nutrient uptake and use. The rhizosphere itself shows the delicate balance among biological, chemical and physical crop production factors. …

Unlike other crop biological products, BigBioYield is dormant. Because it’s dormant, BigBioYield does not become active or readily available until it comes into contact with the soil or plants. The multiple beneficial bacteria in the BigBioYield biological contribute to disease control, enhanced nutrient availability and larger root mass development. Both the BP In-Furrow and BPIF-Soy in-furrow treatments deliver the BigBioYield …

At the recent BioControls USA West Conference & Expo, our team learned about the latest biological farming research and practices.
