Meanwhile, vitamins and some biological hormones in organic matter can promote plant growth and development. 2. Improve soil physical properties and improve soil structure Humus in organic matter is the main cementing agent of soil aggregates, and soil organic colloid is an indispensable cementing material for the formation of ...
Plant microbial communities mainly include rhizosphere microbial community, phyllosphere microbial community and plant endophyte microbial community. In addition, soil microbial communities are closely related to and have important functions in agroecosystems. ...
Afforestation is an important strategy to enhance terrestrial carbon sink. It alters regional landscapes and affects microbial processes in soil ecosystems. In particular, soil fungi, which play an important role in carbon and nitrogen cycling, could be greatly affected. However, at a watershed scale, the changes of soil fungal communities under afforestation could not only be influenced by host ...
Biofeed Builds Better Soil! Biofeed Solutions, Inc. brings over 35 years of product research and development of non-toxic fertilizer products formulated to condition and build healthier soil, while they supply nutrients in a plant available form. This means that fewer nutrients are wasted with no harmful impact on our environment. We focus on the long-range needs of soils, plants, and our ...
Carbon Robotics, an autonomous robotics company, today unveiled its third-generation autonomous weed elimination robots. The Autonomous Weeder leverages robotics, artificial intelligence (AI), and laser technology to safely and effectively drive through crop fields to identify, target and eliminate weeds. Unlike other weeding technologies, the robots utilize high-power lasers to eradicate weeds ...
After the tarp is removed, we will plant a cover crop mix to suppress any persistent weeds, build organic matter and fertility, and grow deep roots to break up and feed the soil and microorganisms. Sequestering carbon from the air to fight climate change is the cherry on top. If we decide not to harvest cover crop seed, we will terminate by crimping or cutting ...
“We have spent the last 10 years at Heliae, working on solutions in microalgae, providing food to the bacteria in the soil, stimulating the microbiome. This relentless focus on researching soil microbiology has uniquely positioned Heliae capable of detecting and addressing soil concerns for the next 50 years. A feat only possible through the expertise and dedication of our people.” ...
Southern States Cooperative is partnering with Heliae® Agriculture to bring innovative, new products to farmers that improve yields while enhancing soil health. Soil health is the foundation of the practice of regenerative agriculture. The selective distribution agreement announced today is a model for the future adoption of a ground-breaking approach developed by Heliae – to provide ...
The partnership follows a successful first phase of Heliae and ACP’s joint water retention trial, the largest ever undertaken Heliae Development, LLC and Agricola Cerro Prieto (ACP) today announced the launch of a new partnership to combat and reverse negative effects on crops and soil from climate change, water scarcity and distressed soil conditions. The collaboration partnership was ...
According to Lu, “Soil microbes catalyze most of the transformations of soil nitrogen into plant-usable forms. ...
With global climate change and challenges as a backdrop, Heliae Development, LLC, President and CEO, Eric Lichtenheld spoke at The Global Interdependence Center (GIC) during their delegation to Mexico City. The two-day delegation program involved meetings with central banking, government and business leaders as well as a full day public conference with Banco de Mexico which included the ...
The Southern High Plains of the United States have low annual rainfall. When it does rain, though, intense storms can cause severe soil erosion. Strong winds also strip away valuable topsoil. Usually grown during seasons when primary crops aren’t cultivated, cover crops can include legumes such as pea and hairy vetch, or grassy crops like oats and barley. Cover crops do more than just ...
Furthering the world of customizable and sustainable lawn care nationwide, this biotech solution will drive nutrient use efficiency Rachio, Inc. is collaborating with Heliae™ Agriculture to provide a biotech liquid soil microbial food solution to assist with customizing lawn care nationwide. This collaboration will go to the next level of lawn care to drive nutrient use efficiency making ...
Due to the robust nature of these soils and microbials, strong chemical cleaners are required to clean and disinfect industrial brewing equipment. ...
Where did 2017 go? Now that we are well into the New Year of 2018, this is the year I hope to be making even higher quality compost to spruce up my garden this spring. This article will be dedicated to the use of biochar as a “carbon” source for making the highest quality compost consisting of all the nutrients plants require and teaming them up with beneficial microbes (bacteria ...
Climate scientists puzzled by the traffic of carbon between soil and air may have to think more deeply about the role played by soil microbes − the planet’s smallest inhabitants. One research team has just found that soil microbes could actually lighten the colour of arid land soils, to reflect more light and bounce more radiation energy back into space. Another has identified an ...
As we approach the New Year, we can look forward to a year of great change, both politically and economically, and to a new, more advanced era in agtech development and adoption. The World Agri-Tech Investment Summit, hosted in San Francisco on March 28-29, will address the big questions facing the industry in 2017. In consultation with our Expert Advisory Board, we have created a dynamic and ...
Over the last couple of years, organic fertilizers such as Black Worm Castings, VermaPlex Specialty Fertilizer, Black Sea Kelp, Coral Calcium, Hydrolyzed Fish, and Liquid Humate Plus, have become increasingly popular. As gardeners and farmers realize the amazing benefits of these amendments, many stores have started selling them, but the quality and affordability of Vermitechnology can not be ...
Rice University researchers have developed gas biosensors to “see” into soil and allow them to follow the behavior of the microbial communities within. In a study in the American Chemical Society’s journal Environmental Science and Technology, the Rice team described using genetically engineered bacteria that release methyl halide gases to monitor microbial gene expression in ...
AgBiome, LLC, a leader in the development of microbial solutions for agriculture, has been awarded a multi-year grant from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation to discover biological insect control for deployment to smallholder farmers in African nations. The project, entitledRSM Systems Biology for Sweetpotato: Engineering the African Root/Soil/Microbiome for Enhanced Crop Productivity, ...
