Agriculture Inputs – Innovative Bio-Products for Sustainable Agriculture

There are several issues concerning sustainable agriculture today across the world. The rampant use and spread of chemically treated fertilizers, pesticides, insecticides and farming additives, dependence on monoculture, non-methodical irrigation & farming techniques with the added disadvantage of poor water quality have even rendered certain farmlands useless. Additionally man-made and natural calamities and climate change have worsened the situation.

Microbes have proven potential to remedy this situation. Microbial Communities present in soil play a critical role in restoring and maintaining soil health, balancing nutrient cycling in soil and promoting plant growth. The use of microbial-based soil supplements and soil amendments has been recognized as an essential and cost-effective method to restore and improve soil fertility, soil structure and overall soil health.

Microbial inoculants, seed germination facilitators, soil inoculants, foliar sprays, biochar, composts and plant growth hormone promoters are prominent examples of soil amendments.

Soil is a living ecosystem that contains many microorganisms that can benefit plants and the environment. Some of these microbes can be added to the soil to enhance its functions and properties. These friendly microbes can act as biostimulants, bio-accelerators, bio fertilisers, bio-augmenters, assets to control pathogens and pests. They can also create optimal conditions for bioreactors, which are devices that use biological processes to treat waste or produce energy. By using these friendly microbes, we can improve the soil’s vitality and fertility, its water-holding capacity, its nutrient content, its plant natural immunity against pests, insects and weeds, and its carbon capture capabilities. These improvements can lead to better crop yields, higher quality food, lower environmental impact, and more sustainable agriculture.

Team One Biotech’s microbial consortium leverages these properties of beneficial microbes supported with bio-enzymes. The benefits of our agriculture microbiome are countless and the microbiome solutions present a promising approach to regenerate soil, degrade contaminants, degrade pesticide residues and enrich the soil with nutrients.

Soil bioremediation is the need of the hour and by investing in Team One Biotech’s solutions you are opting for the best bioproducts available.

low carbon content in todays agricultural soil
Low carbon content in todays agricultural soil

Agriculture provides us with the food we need to survive. Unfortunately, human greed and excessive use of chemicals along with climate changes have led to the lowering of our natural carbon content in today’s agricultural soil. Having a low carbon content in soil can have negative impacts on soil health, crop productivity, and the environment.

Soil carbon is basically the amount of organic matter present in the soil. This includes both soil organic matter and inorganic carbon as carbonate minerals. It is mainly found in the topsoil. It plays a very important role as it dictates soil health and impacts many of the soil’s essential functions. Having a good carbon content in the soil helps in providing nutrients to plants, stores water and also supports the growth of beneficial microbes. Adequate carbon content also helps to sequester carbon from the atmosphere, which can help to mitigate climate change.

Reduction in soil carbon leads to a reduction in soil health and productivity. One of the major reasons for lower carbon content in the topsoil is the extensive use of chemical and synthetic fertilizers and pesticides. Most of these chemicals are effective in improving crop yields, but they also destroy natural beneficial microbes in the soil that play a crucial role in soil carbon sequestration. This further leads to soil erosion, which also contributes to the loss of topsoil carbon. Tilling practices have increased in the last 2 decades. Tilling disrupts the soil structure which further leads to the loss of organic matter. In the tilling process, the organic matter is exposed to the atmosphere by which it gets exposed to more oxygen which leads to carbon breakdown more quickly.

Low topsoil carbon content can lead to reduced crop yields, lower soil fertility, and increased soil erosion. If we look at the bigger picture then low soil carbon content also contributes to climate change. The topsoil carbon can help to remove carbon from the atmosphere and store it in the soil thus reducing the number of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere.

Regenerative agriculture practices is one of the most effective ways to increase soil carbon content Regenerative agriculture works on the principle of sustainability where it prioritizes soil health first. This can include reducing tillage, rotating crops, using cover crops, and incorporating livestock into the farming system. Reduction in the use of chemical fertilizers and pesticides can help to increase soil carbon content. The use of natural beneficial microorganisms for agriculture also helps to retain and also increase the carbon content in the topsoil. All practices which can help us to preserve the beneficial microbes in the soil are welcome.
