Abstract/Contents:States that "soil microorganisms respond to biochemical signals that control cell division and many other functions." Explains that "advances in science have led to the commercial development of biological products that provide many of the beneficial microorganisms that help grasses thrive under stressful conditions...Such products include mycorrhizal fungi and beneficial rhizosphere bacteria, which can significantly increase water and mineral absorption, provide sustainable soil fertility, improve soil texture, reduce thatch buildup, and in combination with a comprehensive program, can help reduce disease pressure." States that "high quality fermentation products will often have a very long shelf life and they do not require special refrigeration or mixing with other ingredients. They can be mixed with herbicides and most fertilizers."
