Reduce herbicide and pesticides
Bug Off!
Balancing a field's soil biology and chemistry decreases the need for chemicals by 30% to 50% because healthy, nutritionally balanced plants are more resistant to stress from drought, weeds, disease and insect attacks. Keep Your Crops from Being Eaten Alive The best way to protect your crops from being eaten alive by pests is to put them on a balanced diet. Insects and diseases are opportunists who find their hosts by "listening" for imbalance. A plant weakened by poor soil conditions puts out a frequency recognized by insects as food. An insect can't recognize the frequency of a healthy plant however, and will pass it up for an unhealthy one every time. According to one of the nation's leading biologists, Dr. Bruce Tanio, "If you balance the nutrition in the plant no insect in the world will attack that plant." Recent studies have shown that farmers who use biological fertilizer amendments to feed the soil and "allow the soil to feed the plant" routinely reduce the amount of herbicides and pesticides they apply by 10% or more per acre the first season and 30% per acre over three years -- without losing yield. In many cases, with balanced plant a yields have actually increased. Some growers have also reported reductions as high as 50%.
