The following research article developed by BioFlora’s team at the Integrated Life Science Research Center describes the clear benefits of rejuvenating your soil after depleting it with fumigants.
Soil compaction is a real issue in many yards of American homeowners; and over the years, many of us have experienced or thought “I have nothing but clay in my yard”. However the truth of the matter usually is; No, we actually have dead soil!
Humega was tested on soils that had been mined for tin and coal and were in need of a revegetation program. These soils had a low pH (3.8-4.6), had very low organic matter, low water holding and cation exchange capacity, had the potential for iron deficiency, had a decreased microbe population and were expected to perform in high temperatures.
Our case studies are a true testament to the continued power of our product line; one such example includes the application of our products to fields yielding one of everyone’s favorite fruit: the strawberry.
BioFlora became actively involved in several trials to determine if our sustainable approach to agriculture could help mitigate decades worth of damage, and begin rebuilding the health of many oil palm plantings.
BioFlora conducted a four year trial on an avocado field to help mitigate sodium buildup, which had occurred due to the use of sodium irrigation water and a prolonged drought.
BioFlora conduced a trial on carrots in Lancaster, California to test whether the addition of BioFlora products would increase yield, crop quality, and soil tilth.
Using top-performing BioFlora products, our highest priorities were to develop even ripening and enhance the quality of treated grapes to produce a higher quality wine by stabilizing the fermentation process.
BioFlora is founded on the premise of being “stewards of the environment,” and offers alternative products to insecticides, pesticides or chemical fertilizers for sustainable or organic gardening that promotes the health and vigor of all plant life and supports pollinators.
