Soil Biology

I’ve been preaching for a while about the similarities between humans and plants as my research has lead me through study after study that supports sound comparisons. In these Covid-19 times, our immune response is of utmost importance. And just like with our own...

Cultivated plants are only able to realize less than 20% of their natural potential to protect themselves against stressors like insects, fungi, diseases, virus attacks, unfavorable climatic conditions, chemical pollution, nutrient deficiency, et al. Plant DNA has...

Most growers have soils deficient in calcium – in fact, very deficient. Calcium is the camp counselor of the soil, helping to marshal other nutrients, including trace minerals, to the plant. Nutrient-dense plants have improved health, fruit flavor and disease...

Flocculation is a property that causes soil particles to cling together. Flocculation is destroyed by long periods of drought and by washing away the magnetism in the soil. Magnetism in the soil? What the heck is that? Well, the level of magnetism is governed by...

I first want to say how much I applaud our farmers given the challenges that they are facing during these sobering times. We’re here to help in any manner we can. In a year of cooler temperatures and unexpected rainfall, it’s very important to help our crops catch up....

I’ve always tried to draw comparisons between plants and animals as there are more similarities than differences. Cytokines, for example. are primary messengers important in reducing neuroinflammation in animals. They activate a range of immune cells and promote the...

Plants have been evolving for millions of years, creating new and improved ways to protect themselves from attack. Plants protect themselves from pathogen attack through activation of innate immune systems, and plant immunity is a highly complex phenomenon with its...
