ORGANIC SOIL SCIENCE
We provide non-chemical agricultural solutions to the agricultural industry:
-
Non-Chemical Soil Rehabilitation (we can increase PH levels in the soil in 3 months)
-
Non- Chemical Herbicides
-
Non-Chemical Fertilizers
-
Non-Chemical Insect / Pest Control
-
Non-Chemical Fungus Control
Our objective is to provide growers with an environmentally friendly solutions and enhance crop quality as well as crop yields at the same time. We have a deep knowledge of plants, insects and soils and are uniquely placed to provide growers with an integrated solutions that will assist them in increasing agricultural production and quality in a sustainable and eco-friendly way in the future.
Our non-chemical agricultural product range is unique and has been designed by our own sister company through years of research and trials. While finding good organic/non-chemical products is nothing new, they are usually extremely expensive to produce and they can only find their way as far as private usage for pot plants, private small gardens, etc. The revolution of non-chemical lies in the ability of producing non-chemical solutions that are applicable to large scale farming farming on vast expanses of land - that is what we have been able to deliver.
Our non-chemical solution works on any crops, plants and/or trees in any large scale setting, in any geographical location and are capable to compete with, and even outperform chemicals - both in yield and in cost.
REAL FARMERS GROW SOIL,
NOT CROPS
Can it be done organically? WE KNOW IT CAN .
This will not come as a surprise to many organic farmers, because they have already seen with their own eyes how much more productive organic inputs can be (more so than chemicals) - but converting to non-chemical is not always easy.
To migrate from chemicals to non-chemicals depends mainly on 1 thing and that is the farmer's reliance on the natural abilities of his soil's. Non-chemical inputs work in a way whereby they take advantage of what should be the soil's natural abilities and then enhances it. However, in some cases, that ability has fully been destroyed by chemicals - because chemicals do not co-habitat with the soil - they are meant to replace the abilities of the soil and they do so by killing or eliminating the natural ability of the soil.
Recovery is never impossible, but mostly it depends on the situation of the soil and surrounding biodiversity, and how it is able to recover from years of assault from chemicals. In the worst case, it can take several seasons - but then not only is the soil back to normal and able to deliver but it is once again clean and not polluting our earth and waterways with chemical run-off anymore.
Organic farming is a sophisticated combination of old wisdom and modern ecological innovations that is capable of harnessing the yield-boosting effects of nutrient cycles, beneficial insects, microbial activity and crop science.
Soil rehabilitation is the first step..
TRUST IN THE UNSEEN FORCES OF THE SOIL -
NOT THE FERTILIZER SHED
Polluting science
Synthetic fertilizers were invented with good intentions back in the second part of the 20th century - but what is surprising is that they are still around, because they are the most polluting, dangerous and irresponsible products in the world today.
These chemicals that we use everyday on our fields have been widely linked to an astounding number of cases of cancer, birth defects, allergies, and other disorders of the nervous, neurological, behavioral, hormone, reproductive, endocrine, and immune systems.
They are responsible for thousands of death around the world, they endanger our children, they have the most devastating effect on our environment and they threaten the very world that we live in.
All this should be enough to have seen them gone years ago.
You may already know the problems with pesticides. “Cide” means to kill. That’s what pesticides are for. Herbicides, for example, are designed to kill plants, but they unfortunately also have a big impact on non-target organisms, because they kill most micro-organisms in the ground at the same time. Same goes for all pesticides. If chemicals void the soil of microbial activity, then there is no organic matter and if there is no organic matter, then there is no natural plant nutrition in the soil – hence chemicals deprive your soil of any natural ability.
The reality is that consistent applications of synthetic chemicals creates such an extensive imbalance in the soil that it becomes totally unsuitable for farming. Chemicals kill the potential for a healthy soil's food web; it leads to compaction, weeds, pests, plant sickness and a whole host of problems - which then can only be solve with other chemicals which the same people produce.
Once in the ground, it not only kills the soil's food web which takes away the soil's natural abilities, but it will undergo a chemical reaction which will produce acids with a pH lower than 1,2 or bases with a pH above 11 - and those levels are pretty much toxic to everything - especially plants.
Most shocking might be the reason as to why these products are still around, because, incredibly, chemicals intensify the problem and they are actually the main culprit in the destruction of our soils. They form a vicious circle and the trick is that farmers are condemned to use them more and more every time they use them - hence why most people still use chemicals.
ORGANIC FARMING IS HEAVILY DEPENDENT ON TECHNOLOGY;
JUST NOT THE TECHNOLOGY THAT COMES OUT OF A CHEMICAL PLANT
The Soil Food Web
Back in the 1940’s, we assumed that plant life only consisted of macro-nutrients. We therefore assumed that it was fine to re-engineer a synthetic substitute for nature’s large need of NPK. Unfortunately, we were wrong. Plants and soil are actually totally dependent on each other and the soil consists of many unexplored deeper layers, such as micro-nutrients, antioxidants and microbial health (in the soil).
Today we know that these layers are most important, almost a symbiotic partner to plant life - and we call it the ‘soil food web’ because it is constantly working on creating the perfect soil condition, making nutrients available to plants and even protecting plants from predators. For example, there are special bacteria that take nitrogen out of the air and convert it into a form plants can use. There are special fungi that can get phosphorus out of the soil and bring it to plants, something plants have a difficult time getting themselves. In return, the plants send a huge amount of carbohydrates produced during photo-synthesis down into the soil to feed these beneficial micro-organisms in order to further cement their 'collaboration'.
We don’t usually think that the common pests and diseases that we face in farming today have some direct relationship to life in the soil - but it is all inter-related. We don’t think about aphids, fire blight, rust, bad nematodes and almost every other pest or disease I can name, relating to bacteria, fungi, protozoa and good nematodes. But, they do! Soil microbes are genuine gardening miracle workers with more complex techniques than are fully understood yet, but there is no doubt that it is an active intelligent mechanism and it is nature’s own mechanism to make sure plants thrive without sickness or pests.
Soil is a living, dynamic ecosystem and healthy soil should teem with microscopic and larger organisms that perform all the vital functions. Whenever a seed germinates in the wild or a crop is planted by a farmer, the microbial community that helps that particular species to grow and thrive is mobilized. Chemical signals enter the soil via the exudates of the plant and a symphony of underground activity commences. Genetic information is exchanged; the various microbial players assume their positions on the tissues of the plant; often, one microbe colonizes another, providing a service that helps the first microbe to assist the next and so on, forming a chain to support the plant whose roots it is embedded in. For example, microbes can help plants to better tolerate extreme temperature fluctuations, saline soils, resist drought, disease, pests and other challenges of a changing climate.
Maintaining a healthy soil demands care and effort from farmers, because farming is not benign. Where the soil has received heavy treatments of pesticides, chemical fertilizers, soil fungicides or fumigants that kill these organisms, the beneficial soil organisms may die or have died (preventing the performance of their activities), and this will clearly upset the balance between the pathogens and the beneficial organisms, allowing those called opportunists pathogens (these are the disease-causing organisms) to become more of a problem, than they should ever have been able to become.
Chemical pesticides, herbicides and fertilizers should be but relics of a faded age.
Unfortunately, current farming practices damage the way of letting the soil do its thing - leaving our soils around the world unhealthy, producing worse and worse yields, to the extent whereby we end up with more and more soil devastation, acidic soils with PH levels hostile to plant growth, erosion and/or dry-lands - which is literally makes it unfit for farming.
