Step One
Soil Management with Agri-Achieve and Agri-Remedy
Proper Soil Management
Soil compaction is a major problem facing most farmers today. It's related to poor soil management and it has these negative effects:
- Restricted water penetration
- Reduced air space (less available root oxygen)
- Erosion
- Water runoff
- Limited root growth (reduced plant nutrient uptake)
- Increased contamination.
Hard and compacted soil doesn't allow root penetration, and soil that's full of agricultural chemicals burns roots. And using expensive equipment to mechanically break up the soil is not the answer. The solution is for farmers to learn how to manage their own soils.
Farmers Need to Learn
- Improve soil tilth
- Activate natural microbial activity for healthier soil
- Help clean up toxicity through bioremediation
- Get life back into the soil
- Improve soil structure
Agri-Achieve and Agri-Remedy
Use Agri-Achieve (nutrients and micro organisms) and Agri-Remedy (nutrients and microorganisms) to help repair and sustain soil. Both products perform well in any tillage program, but moldboard plowing creates maximum incorporation and soil aeration.
The soil and root mass on the right was treated with Step One® Agri-Remedy and Agri-Achieve showing the proper root development. The untreated, compacted mass on the left shows less root development and less production resulting in less profit.
