Soil health is fundamental to everything on a farm. Therefore, by building the health of our soils, we gain many benefits such as increased water holding capacities, nutrient exchange, infiltration and more.
With correct plant nutrition and
microbiology, plants can become completely resistant to disease and many pests.
By focusing on plant health, disease and pests are reduced, leading to higher quality and quantity of produce.
By allowing natural systems to grow our farm’s produce, we’ve found our farmers expenses are reduced while maintaining or increasing production, this leads to increased profits.
Agresol works with Australian farmers wanting to transition to regenerative practices through our consulting service. We offer a fee-for-service model offering advice and implementation strategies to achieve the highest return-on-investment for our farmers. We consult on a number of regenerative practices with a large focus on cover crops, plant nutrition, crop rotation, grazing and pasture management, and soil microbiome management.
Our focus on biological systems within agroecosystems allows us to build soil organic matter quickly and effectively, allowing you to reap the benefits of highly fertile soils.
Soil Organic Matter (SOM) contributes amazing benefits to soils, including increasing water holding capacity, cation exchange capacity, microbial activity, nutrient recycling and soil structure, and inhibits toxins, pH change and Redox change.
Overall, increasing SOM is the best way to improve soil fertility. Regardless of your farming system, soil types or climate, Agresol can assist you in building SOM.
Soil Organic Carbon can hold 7x its weight in water! Meaning that a simple 2.5% increase in SOC could almost double your plant available water!
What would it mean to your farm if you could hold TWICE the amount of water?
Soil Organic Carbon has a massive ability to hold onto plant nutrients. In fact, it has double the ability then most clays. This means that more of the fertiliser you apply will be captured by the soil, and find it’s way to the plant.
Studies have shown that soils rich in soil organic carbon achieve greater yields. It has been shown that yields can increase upward of 15%.
With greater yields, and lower input costs profits are set to increase when soils have greater amounts of SOC.
We are passionate about teaching others about regenerative agriculture!
