WHY WE SHOULDN’T CONTINUE TO OVERUSE CHEMICALS AND CHEMICAL FERTILISERS
The overuse of chemicals and chemical fertilisers is contributing to the decline in production and the degradation of our soils. Unfortunately, these practices aren’t sustainable, and the continued practice of this will open up our soils to lower yields and soil diseases. We are already seeing diseases creeping into Australia that we haven’t seen before, such as Panama disease and other Fusarium oxysporum mutations. This can be directly linked to the overuse of chemicals and fertilisers in our soils. Graeme Harvey’s book “We Want Real Food” points out the fact that the overuse of chemical fertilisers and chemicals is also a problem for cattle farmers as their meat (protein) suffers because the livestock are undernourished and overstressed, even the milking cows produce less and poorer quality milk. It also points out that these man-made fertilisers deplete the soil of biologicals and leach out minerals and actually prevent their own use in the plant actually absorbing the other minerals it needs.
By adding specific, antagonistic bacteria, we can start to rebuild the entire soil biota. Our Biology is one of the only products that can prove the bacteria survive once they hit the soil, and we also know the exact function these Bacillus will provide. By knowing this and utilising this advanced technology, we are able to reduce the amount of chemicals and chemical fertilisers you use, while improving the soil quality and yield.
BioIQ was born out of an ambition to reduce the use of synthetic chemical fertilisers and improve soil health, migrating farmers and agribusinesses to programs more sustainable and safer to use.
Robert Rushford and Mike Tyrrell offer a new plant nutrition solution that provides regenerative and all natural solutions for farmers, land managers [and homeowners] to improve the health of the planet through scientific innovation.
