Soil: disinfection and regeneration of soils

Soil: disinfection and regeneration of soils

SOIL is an improver for agricultural soils under high productive stress.

As an allelopathic biostimulant, it is indicated for application to the soil to achieve a perfect physical, chemical and biological balance in accordance with the ideal requirements for the best development and maximum productive capacity of the implanted crop.

This product is composed of seaweed extract, a variety Ascophyllum nodosum . Its main functions are to improve the soil and to recover the microbiome in soils subjected to high production pressure thanks to its prebiotic capacity.

It is characterised by its prebiotic capacity, which re-establishes the microbiological balance in disease-conducive soils. It also has the ability to disinfect soils, in addition to favouring crop establishment by improving the physico-chemical properties of the substrate.

As a final result, the planted crop shows greater vigour in its development and less susceptibility to pathogens causing wilt and root rot.

In order to verify the effectiveness of SOIL, we have carried out numerous trials, the following two of which have been carried out on tomato and courgette crops.

The tomato trial is taking place in Puebla (Mexico). The strategy used is the application of SOIL by drip irrigation at different doses before transplanting. As a final result, 15 days before transplanting, up to 92% control of Rhizoctonia was observed, depending on the dose applied.

On the other hand, a trial was carried out on courgettes, located in a greenhouse in Ruescas (Almeria). The strategy was to apply SOIL to the soil before courgette planting at 15 L/ha. with soil analyses contrasted by public and private laboratories. As a final result, we obtained a reduction in the population of Fusarium spp. from 4700 colony forming units to 140, with 97% control of Fusarium.

It is important to highlight that SOIL is indicated for all types of crops before planting in soils with high agronomic wear. Its recommended doses are 15-20 L/ha.

Steps to follow for implementation:

1. Soil preparation by shallow tillage to achieve a well loosened soil (avoid clumping).
2. Irrigate to full field capacity by localised irrigation. Seal the soil with plastic whenever possible.
3. Application of the product by localised irrigation.
4. Re-irrigate with water to encourage incorporation and diffusion into the soil.
5. Leave the product to act before planting.
