  2. Expected Results • Increase of root weight • Encourages a deeper root zone • Increases the biological activity within the soil • Increases in nitrogen and overall health of the soil • Increases of organic matter content in the soil • Greener crops, more vivid colors, more bountiful flowers

  3. Expected Results • Increases BRIX of Sugar in leaf and fruit • Increases protein in crops • Increases yield of harvested material • Increases soil quality (compaction) • Reduces fertilizer and pesticide use • Reduces leaching of nutrients • Decreases watering requirements

  4. The science of optimizing soil

  5. Soil is predominantly 4 components To optimize soil health ↓ Manage all 4 groups ↓ Neglect anygroup ↓ = Failure

  6. Managing Soil Health To Optimize Soil Health Manage These 3 Components Biological Component Manage “living” part of soil Physical ComponentAppropriate irrigation, aeration and compaction of soil Nutrient Component Maintainmineral balance (Ca,Mg,Na,K & othermicronutrients & salts)

  7. Check Water Physical Component Manage irrigation times, total dissolved solids

  8. Perform a water analysis • Sodium > 160 Excessive • Bicarbonates > 90 Excessive • Total Diss. Salts > 800 Excessive • Mg > 40 Excessive • Chloride > 100 Excessive • Sulfur > 200 Excessive

  9. Check Air Physical Component Appropriate aeration and compaction of the soil. Soil biology will perform this function when active and present in recommended numbers.

  10. Check SoilMineral Matter Content Nutrient Component Maintainmineral balance Calcium, Magnesium, Potassium, Salt and othermicronutrients. Balance and coordinatewithfertilizer use.

  11. Balance MineralsAdjust for Specific Crop • “By bringing Ca, Mg, Na, and K into equilibrium, we will automatically adjust pH in a soil system suitable for plant growth.” - Charles Walters Eco Farm • Calcium 68 – 70% • Magnesium 10 - 20% • Potassium 2 - 5% • Sodium < 3% • Adjust for site-specific issues

  12. Analyze Organic Matter Biological Component Manage “living” part of soil (microbiology & organic matter)

  13. Use Vega-tare™ to build your Organic Matter • Vega-tare™ harvest-to-harvest is a cold processed, enzymatically digested, fresh food soil amendment and plant food, that acts as an all-natural bio-stimulant.

  14. The SoilFood Web • Feeding microbes builds humus in the soil • The oil content of Vega-tare allows it to stay where applied.

  16. Vega-tare™ harvest to harvest

  17. Application:Stimulation of compost

  18. Application:Fertigation

  19. Application:Sprayer

  20. Application:Deep root feeding

  21. Application:Foliar

  22. Summary: • Adjust to the uniqueness of the site • Balance soils for crop and manage mineral content • Adjust to water quality & aerate • Implement a low-nitrogen / low-watering program • Reduce use of pesticides & fertilizers • Use Vega-tare™ harvest to harvest as a bio-stimulant • Periodically re-test and re-balance
