What is Bactifeed?

Healthier soil means healthier crops. Without it, successful farming is virtually impossible.

What does BACTIFEED Soil System do? It has the ability to :

    1. Take in water and oxygen easily

    2. Deliver a full range of vital nutrients in a highly available form to the         crops it supports.

For both to happen, the presence of a complete and active biological system in the soil is crucial.

Getting to the root of the problem

The BACTIFEED Soil System is specifically designed to continually revitalize your soil, improve water penetration and enhance fertilizer availability to growing crops. The process starts by combining a specifically formulated biological packages and nutrient-balanced food supply contained in a Biological-Generating tank. It will constantly inject a source of biological organisms and soil stimulants into your fields. The result is a rapid, ongoing improvement in soil conditions and plant health.

When the organisms needed for healthy, productive soil are missing or inactive, the soil’s ability to take in water is reduced. Nutrients become bound up, unavailable to growing plants. Additionally, many farmers are discovering that as growing seasons go by, fertilizer requirements continually increase. Correspondingly, the overall health of the soil steadily decreases. But, there is a cost-effective, efficient way to reverse the process.

The Healthy Alternative.

For around $4 dollars per acre, BACTIFEED can help in saving you money by helping to reduce water usage and in some cases reducing fertilizer use, while giving you healthier, fuller crops.

Soil is restored to good health through the delivery of three vital components:

    1. A vast amount of bio-stimulants for indigenous organisms already in the soil.

    2. Additional strains to supplement existing organisms.

    3. An extensive package of highly available minor nutrients to strengthen the entire program.

How the BACTIFEED Soil System helps you

• Introduces symbionic and symbiotic organisms to your soil.
• Improves overall soil efficiency and cec improvement.
• Accelerates select biological growth.
• Biologically transforms bound micro and macro nutrients for plant intake.
• Improves soil aggregate for additional water absorption, aeration, root development, and plant health.
• Specifically formulated to enhance biological growth of indigenous and supplement organisms, resulting in rapid soil improvement, promoting heathier plants and increased productivity.

Better from the Ground up

We begin with specifically selected bacteria that have been isolated from highly fertile soils and exhibit optimum abilities to produce maximum enzymes. They must also be able to adapt to many different soil conditions and provide unique abilities to fix both atmospheric and synthetic (chemical) nitrogen.

These organisms are then custom fermented (laboratory grown) under aseptic conditions to provide a pure culture. When this culture is combined with other soil amendments and applied to the soil, indigenous bacteria multiply and grow very rapidly. As the biological health of the soil improves, minerals become more available to the plants and uptake is increased by 200-300% and nitrogen utilization by 50-75%. In the cases of nitrogen utilization volitization (gaseous escape) is greatly reduced and the leaching (run of and seepage into the water table) is almost eliminated.

By increasing the biological content of the soils ecosystem, we make the soil healthier. Doing this allows the soil to absorb more water, metabolize fertilizers and elements that have been placed in the fields for decades. Making the soil ecosystem healthy relieves stress on the plants, whatever they are, and allows them to utilize their own immune systems to ward off predatory herbs (weeds) and pests (insects), meaning less herbicides and pesticides required. Fewer toxins in the soil means fewer toxins reaching our water resources. Digesting and metabolizing fertilizers in the field keeps them out of our water resources and delivers them where they belong, to the plant.

Organically sufficient soil compacts in the hand, has a texture that can be molded in the grip, and contains moisture. Organically insufficient soil is hard, crusty, and resembles more of a rock and clod that a moldable, malleable substance. Even under desert conditions, organically sufficient soil keeps this structure. It actually contains numerous systems that makes up a ecosystem within the top soil.

Whether that soil resides on your farm, your golf course, your home, or your garden, increasing the microbial activity in can help improve the quality of your soil and the quality and quantity of your crop, while reducing inputs such as water and fertilizer.
