Marckindy has been a part of the SOIL family since his first internship in 2012, and he’s known of SOIL for even longer through his brother, Job (SOIL’s Composting Manager). ...
Under our feet, in the soil, is a wealth of microbial activity. Just like humans have different metabolisms and food choices, so do those microbes. ...
PhycoTerra® causes the explosive growth of native soil microbes, releasing bio-active compounds. It is pasteurized, non-living algae, liquid concentrate of vital nutrients using whole cells of microalgae grown in highly controlled conditions. ...
Are you a US licensed CPA who loves SOIL and numbers? SOIL is actively recruiting for a new volunteer board treasurer and we would love to pull from our existing web of supporters. We are looking for a licensed CPA who could commit to a minimum 2 year board position as SOIL treasurer. Board responsibilities will include a ...
The energy rich organic acids released by the root feed the microbial populations, and plants spend from 10 – 90 percent of their energy supporting microbes in this way.Artificial fertilisers and pesticides inhibit or destroy soil microbial life. Clean, organic composts, such as worm castings and other sources of organic matter with microbial activity, ...
EPIVIO products stimulate seedling development by providing micronutrients and biostimulant compounds to the plant and by activating soil microflora. The resulting natural symbiotic cycle leads to stress tolerant plants. ...

After treatment, the soil will be disposed of at approved facilities. The excavated areas will then be backfilled with clean fill and soil. Additionally, areas with deeper soil contamination residues, at depths greater than 10 feet, will be covered to reduce the chance of exposure. The area will be seeded so that vegetation can grow. During ...
Environmental Protection Agency has proposed a plan to address contaminated soil in Manati, P.R. at the Pesticide Warehouse III Superfund Site. Historical pesticide operations at the site contaminated the soil and groundwater with pesticides including dioxins. ...

On March 4, Entekhabi and NASA’s Soil Moisture Active Passive (SMAP) satellite successfully completed the initial test of its science instruments and revealed its very first image of the Earth’s soil moisture. ...
By connecting the device to a smartphone, researchers can use it to collect information about how efficiently a plant photosynthesises, for example, as well as data on the soil it is growing in. Data is automatically updated from the phone to a cloud server. ...
NASA successfully launched its first Earth satellite designed to collect global observations of the vital soil moisture hidden just beneath our feet. The Soil Moisture Active Passive (SMAP) observatory, a mission with broad applications for science and society, lifted off at 6:22 a.m. ...
The study found that the greater the activity of the microorganisms, the greater the amount of pesticide that could bind to the soil. For example, an average of 39.4 per cent of diuron could be extracted from microbiologically active soil compared with between 65-98 per cent extraction from sterilised soil ...
Their burrowing and feeding activities may also have an impact on any toxins released into the soil. ...
For instance, if forecasters don't know how damp or dry the soil is, they can't accurately predict the weather. 'OMEGA soil moisture data will help us build better weather models,' says NASA scientist Chip Laymon, principal investigator for the OMEGA project at the National Space Science and Technology Center in Huntsville, Alabama. ...
Microbial activity in soil is thought to be a better indicator of soil quality than chemical properties. ...
