SOIL HEALTH AND BALANCED CROP NUTRITION

Soil health is the foundation of balanced crop nutrition. Up to 60% of yield is dependent on soil fertility. Setting the foundation for healthy soils provides substantial crop productivity and sustains the land for generations to come! By managing soils differently than what has been done in the past, value can be added to not just a single crop season or field, but impact long-term soil health, allowing for higher yields every year. It can be accomplished through soil replenishment, nutrient efficiency and sustainability practices.

Nurture the soil, nourish the crops Encouraging a crop nutrition program for higher yields involves feeding the soil that feeds the plant. It starts with understanding how nutrients interact with each other and their movement within the soil and plant. By understanding exactly, which nutrients are required for optimum growth and healthy soils, growers can create a sustainable production system for future generations.

The value of organic matter in Soil Health Soil is composed of air, mineral, water and organic matter, which work together to dictate the affluence of a soil’s profile.

Organic matter plays an important role in soil health. It’s the fragment of the soil that includes plant, animal and microbial residues in various stages of decomposition, biomass of soil microorganisms and substances produced by plant roots and other soil organisms.

Expanding levels of organic matter aids in soil structure, water-holding capacity, nutrient mineralization, biological activity, and water and air infiltration rates. Co-locating organic matter near applied nutrients helps to concurrently nourish the plant roots and soil microbes, resulting in improved nutrient uptake and yield.

Building up and keeping up healthy soil can help in higher yields and shape crop resiliency to environmental stresses. Healthy soil also has robust water retention capacity.

Maintaining the health of soils produces more organic matter, which provides a robust foundation for healthy crops.

Supporting long-term Soil Health Its important to frequently observe soil nutrient levels and replenish them to account for the nutrient removal of each crop. Think about adding a soil health product with organic materials into your annual inputs to build or maintain healthy soils. Aim to deliver the correct balance of nutrients and the right material consistency to maximize soil health.

The future of Soil Health Mosaic is committed to help the agriculture industry drive soil health forward. By carrying out sustainable practices on the farm now, there is substantial opportunity to ensure environmental stewardship for the future while continuing to achieve considerable yields and profitability.
