| Abstract/Contents: | Discusses fertilizer meta-catalysts, stating that "in many markets, fertilizer costs have nearly doubled since 2007. Additionally, the growing environmental movement is raising concerns about nitrate and phosphate leaching and runoff." Focuses on the potential role of microbes in organic matter, suggesting that "microbes are everywhere, with especially high concentrations in the soil. A single teaspoon of healthy soil may contain 25,000 algea...their activity has measurable impact on organic matter and nutrient availability, nutrient cycling and uptake (by the plants), and soil structure and function." Explains that "a fertilizer meta-catalyst...starts with a base stock of naturally occurring microbes that is highly diverse - both microbiologically, as shown in plate counts, and in metabolic capacity." Reports that "research on fertilizer meta-catalysts shows promising results. More than 400 field, university and third-party studies have been conducted on such blends, and the products have been proven effective in improving nutrient uptake into plants." Concludes that "microbial-based fertilizer meta-catalysts represent a...product category that may enable users to hold or reduce costs without sacrificing performance or environmental health." |
