Microorganisms and Plant Pathogens

It is noteworthy that most of the microorganisms encountered in any par­ticular soil are harmless to plants with only a relatively few that function as plant pathogens or potential pathogens. Harmful microorganisms become dominant if conditions develop that are favor­able to their growth, activity and reproduction.   Under such conditions,   soil­ borne pathogens (e.g., fungal pathogens) can rapidly increase their populations with devastating effects on the crop. If these conditions change, the pathogen population declines just as rapidly to its original state. Conventional farming sys­ tems that tend toward the consecutive planting of the same crop (i.e., mono cul­ture)necessitate the heavy use of chemi­cal fertilizers and pesticides. This, in turn, generally increases the probability that harmful,   disease-producing,   plant pathogenic microorganisms will become more   dominant   in agricultural  soil.

Pro-Soil Ag Solutions, Inc., manufacturer and distributor of natural soil nutrition and liquid plant food products that enhance the effects of fertilizer and stimulate plant growth, is driven by our mission to help farmers improve the health of their soils and the quality of the crops they raise.

Our products improve soil health by stimulating and feeding native microbial life in the soil which creates a higher yielding crop. To learn more about how you can increase photosynthetic efficiencies, contact us today!
