Buffalo Mountain Living Soil Brings Life to Soil The Way Nature Intended
Stop treating your soil like dirt with our cutting-edge inoculants, activating technologies and techniques.
Microbe - To Soil - To Plant Cycle
Living Soil
- Microbes in Soil: Microorganisms, including bacteria and fungi, inhabit the soil. These microbes decompose organic matter, releasing nutrients into the soil.
- Mycorrhizal Association: Mycorrhizae (fungi) form a symbiotic relationship with plant roots. The fungi extend hyphae (thread-like structures) into the soil, increasing the surface area for water and nutrient absorption.
- Nutrient Uptake: Plants absorb water and nutrients, such as phosphorus and nitrogen, through their roots, aided by the mycorrhizal fungi. The fungi receive carbohydrates produced by the plants through photosynthesis.
- Plant Growth: Nutrients absorbed by the plants promote growth and development, leading to healthier and more vigorous plants.
- Cycle Continuation: As plants grow and eventually die, they decompose, returning organic matter to the soil, which is then decomposed by soil microbes, continuing the cycle.
Living Soil Microbes Brings Life To Soil
Don't Treat Your Soil Like Dirt!
Utilizing full-spectrum biology is an essential strategy for managing living soil systems. This method forms the cornerstone of the microbial populations within Buffalo Mountain Living Soil Microbes. These populations are meticulously selected to ensure a balanced exchange between plants and soil. Multiple species from each functional group are present in agriculturally potent populations. This inoculant is equally effective at initiating biological activity in newly prepared soil mixes as it is at maintaining ongoing populations in well-established soils.
Enhancing nutrient availability and plant health through active soil biology is achieved by maintaining balance. The ideal symbiotic relationship between crop roots and soil is dependent on a diverse array of bacteria and fungi. Each unique microbial functional group performs specific roles that trigger a chain reaction, resulting in enzymatic exchange, metabolite production, and efficient nutrient uptake. This process culminates in crops reaching their maximum genetic potential.
Helpful Info & Tips:
- Our dilution rates create a highly concentrated solution; apply efficiently.
- After initial mixing, allow approximately 30 minutes for microbes to emerge from dormancy before application.
- Ensure the soil or medium is sufficiently saturated prior to application, then use just enough liquid concentrate to penetrate the root zone, providing a hospitable environment for immediate colonization.
- For incorporating the inoculant “dry” into soil mixes, ensure the soil has adequate moisture and will be planted immediately, whether with a cover crop or the main crop. Inoculated soils stored in totes or bags may have inconsistent moisture levels and temperature zones, reducing soil biology survivability.
- Bringing microbes out of dormancy with our recommendations and applying as a root drench is most effective.
- Regular follow-up doses are recommended to promote ideal nutrient cycling.
