-
Recharges dynamic biological equilibrium in the soil.
-
Improves soil properties – loosens clay soils / aggregates sandy soils.
-
Improves soil Cation Exchange Capacity (CEC) – holds onto nutrients.
-
Improves growth and activity of beneficial soil microbiology.
-
Improves air exchange (aeration) and soil drainage in compacted soils.
-
Effectively slows release of plant nutrients, especially nitrogen.
-
Increases Phosphorous availability, especially in clay soils.
-
Detoxifies soil pollutants – neutralizes “Black Layer” problems.
-
Increases plant sugar content (Brix) for improved stress resistance.
-
Improves water-holding capacity for better soil retention and increased drought tolerance.
-
Accelerates cell division for healthier plan growth / improved rootmass.
-
Stimlates plant metabolism and increases vitamin content of plant.
-
Increases protein levels in plants and acts as organic catalyst.
-
Increases plant regulators – auxins, cytokinins, gibberellins, calines, etc.
-
Increases seed germination capacity and seedling vigor and viability.
-
Stimulates respiration and the hormonal and enzyme systems.
-
Improves color – deeper, darker greens in conjunction with Nitrogen.
-
Improves soil warming – earlier spring green-up, better color into winter.
-
Source of over 70 micro-nutrients.
-
Chelation of trace elements for better nutrition, especially iron, helping with the prevention / correction of chlorosis.
-
Increases permeability of plant membranes, promotes nutrient uptake.
-
“New” soil formation – decomposition of rock, mineral, and organic matter.
-
pH buffering and accelerating Calcium Carbonate (Lime) Breakdown.
-
Stimulates the increase and elongation of fibrous roots.
