| Abstract/Contents: | "There are four basic agronomic principles that have to be considered when building a healthy soil: air management, water management, decay management, and nutrient management. The interrelationship between these four principles is very important. Without good air management, the other three cannot produce healthy soil. If water management is not up to par, proper air, decay and nutrient management is difficult. A management program that keeps all four of these principles in mind assures good results, lessons plant stress and reduces the need for pesticides. Unfortunately, our industry is focused on products designed to manage nutrients, often at the expense of air, water and decay management." |
