Reducing Stress

Embracing Biological Solutions for Sustainable Crop Management

Biology Is Important

The same old thinking will always equal the same old results!
That's why it's time to challenge the status quo and embrace a new approach—one that prioritizes the biological aspect of raising crops.


We are on a mission to revolutionize the way people think about crop management, and our partnership with with Agronomy 365 and their lab is help us do just that. Instead of relying on the tired old "Here, try this" approach, we're inviting farmers and agricultural professionals to join us in understanding the vital importance of biology in agriculture and that there is more involved than just throwing fertilizers and pesticides at a problem and hoping for the best.


The facts speak for themselves. In agriculture, structure trumps nutrition, and understanding the biological health of soil and plants is crucial for achieving optimal yields. For example, as shown above in R1 corn, oxidative stress can manifest as oblong "football" shapes. Instead, we prefer no brown or dull green color. By addressing the underlying biological factors, farmers can mitigate these issues and promote healthier, more resilient crops.


Moreover, we must distinguish between soil health and soil fertility. While soil fertility focuses on nutrient levels, soil health encompasses a broader spectrum, including physical, chemical, and biological aspects. Just as a stool needs three legs to stand, soil health requires a balanced combination of these factors to function optimally.


This is where Ide Seed and Fertilizer stands apart from other companies, with their “Have to Try This” with our affiliation with Agronomy 365 and their lab. Instead of guessing if your soil needs sugars, humic and fulvic acid, etc, we focus on a product that powers the microbe activity to release the nutrients to the plant. We ultimately want the equation of bacteria and fungi to be 1 to 1. 

BACTERIA'S JOB


  • Decompose organic matter
  • Improve soil structure and moisture migration
  • Recycling of soil nutrients
  • Water recycling

 

FUNGI'S JOB


  • Helps retain most nutrients and are essential in protecting the plant from disease and predators
  • It helps with water dynamics
  • Nutrients cycling
  • Disease suppression

 

Helping Farmers

To help farmers on this journey, we challenge them to delve into the WEOC or Biological actuality of their soil on one field. To guide this exploration, we've crafted seven key questions:


  1. How does your product move away from the "Here, try this" approach?
  2. What should the pH of the water be?
  3. What is WEOC?
  4. What should my WEOC level be to use your BIOLOGICAL?
  5. What team do you have?
  6. Is your product a 1/2 rate?
  7. How do I keep out oxidative stress from my corn and beans?


By asking these questions and seeking answers, farmers can gain a deeper understanding of their soil and its biological dynamics, paving the way for more targeted and effective solutions.

What's Holding You Back?


Is it the fear of trying something new or the reluctance to admit that there's more to learn? We believe that continuous improvement is key to success in agriculture. That's why we are offering comprehensive soil testing services, evaluating over 70 metrics to provide farmers with actionable insights for better crop management.


Our approach is rooted in the understanding that biological activity drives the cycle of soil health and fertility. By harnessing the power of biology, we can unlock the full potential of our agricultural systems and pave the way for a more sustainable future.


So, are you ready to challenge the status quo and embrace a new era of agriculture? Let's work together to solve problems, find solutions, and cultivate a brighter future for agriculture.
