The process begins with specifically selected bacteria that have been isolated from highly fertile soils and exhibit optimum abilities to produce enzymes and other organic nutrients.The bacteria are selected for maximum adaptability so that they are effective in many different soil conditions, and provide unique abilities to fix both natural (atmospheric) nitrogen and synthetic (chemical) nitrogen delivered by fertilizers and other organic nutrients. When Bio-Sustain is applied to soil, indigenous bacteria multiply and grow very rapidly.

As the biological health of the soil improves, minerals become more available to plants and nutrient uptake is increased by 200 – 300%, with nitrogen utilization increasing by 50 – 75%. Nitrogen dissipation (gaseous escape) is greatly reduced, and leaching (run off and seepage into the water table) is almost eliminated.

Increasing the biological content of a soils’ ecosystem makes the soil more permeable, allowing the soil to absorb more water and healthy populations of microorganisms metabolize fertilizers and nutrients that have lain unused in the fields for years, making these nutrients available to plants growing today.

When bacteria digest and metabolize fertilizers in the field, fertilizer is kept out of our water resources and is delivered where it belongs, to the plant. Less residual chemical fertilizer in the soil means fewer toxins reaching our water resources.

Making the soil ecosystem healthy relieves stress on plants of all types, and allows them to utilize their own immune systems to ward off predatory herbs (weeds) and pests (insects), resulting in reduced herbicide and pesticide input requirements — and costs.

Whether on your farm, your golf course, your home, or your garden, increasing the microbial activity in your soil will improve the fertility of your soil and the quality and quantity of your crop, while reducing the need for inputs such as water, herbicides, pesticides and ferilizer.
