One crop, two ways, multiple benefits
Nitrogen fixation is one of the best examples of cooperation in nature. Soil microbes – naturally occurring bacteria in the soil – work with plants to pull nitrogen from the air. They turn the nitrogen into a form the plant is able to use. In return, the plant lets the microbes eat some of the sugars it makes. Faba beans (also called fava beans) are one example of plants that work ...

JXCT Soil tensiometer
A soil tension meter is an instrument used to measure the tension or suction force within soil. Soil tension, also known as soil moisture tension, is the force exerted by the soil particles as they hold water. This tension affects the ability of plants to absorb water and nutrients from the soil. Soil tension meters are important tools for irrigation management and soil research.The basic ...

Restoring Long Term Soil Health in Haiti with Organic Compost
Last summer, we shared results from a research project that was taken on by master’s students at Cranfield University. The students compared the efficiency of SOIL’s organic compost, Konpòs Lakay, to commercial grade chemical fertilizers available on the market. This comparison was used two core Haitian crops: tomato plants and moringa trees. When the preliminary results ...
