Its a book not a paper.
Its interesting talk about the oxigenation of the soil .
I added liqid smoke ( wood vinegar/ humic acid) with good results in the oxigenation of the soil.
Next i want to try its leonardite wich is humic acid from ancient soil.
Yes highly oxidized soil is what most Mango growers in Florida deal with. The use of riding mowers on lawn, something most everyone does, compacts our oxidized sandy soil causing acidic soil that is putting the eh and ph out of the optimum range for plant photosynthesis. Combine that with pounding rains that further compact and then waterlogs our soil. This puts the eh in the range that favors the anaerobic microbiology. When you add organic matter plus use synthetic fertilizers it will burn thru the stable organic matter and decimate the plant and soil enabling microbiology that live in the roots or in the rhiizosphere. This practice of using synthetics with organic mulches acidifies the soil more. This also keeps the eh and ph out of range. Not having the eh ph In optimum range for plant health slows photosynthesis which causes plant disease, can manifest as nutrient lock or deficiency and weaken the plant making them susceptible to pest pressures.
Oxidized soil is code word for lack of organic matter. You need living roots as this is where the plant enabling healthy microbiology reside and the bodies of the microbiology make stable organic matter which is full of plant enabling enzymes, all which enable the cycling of nutrients for the plant. Organic matter which includes above ground living and dead plants and below ground roots will keep the eh ph at the optimum range for plant photosynthesis. The healthy roots are where the healthy microbiology reside that mineralize the soil and the organic matter into a perfect nutrient growing solution for all plants it’s called healthy soil. Plants grown in this perfect healthy mineralized soil do not succumb to disease or pest pressure. So yes there is another way that isn’t sustaining Monsanto/Bayer but a way that can heal and regenerate, doesn’t pollute and it is basically free. Compost, diversity of living roots and fix this and keep eh and ph in the optimum range and can fix and transform Florida’s compacted water logged oxidized soils and prevent disease. A virtual natural paradise.
When did we get to the point that killing all the frogs in your yard every two weeks is alright?
The overly oxidized compacted soils don’t drain and run off into our waterways and are carrying the fertilizers and other chemicals with them. They disrupt the human endocrine system, kill soil and damage young children’s brains. I guess if your alright with killing frogs your alright with making more unhealthy stupid people that are buying chemicals and pharmaceuticals and encourage others to follow suit.
OMRI Approved Fungicides are only allowed to be used with permission with restrictions. OMRI Approved Fungicides kill All Aquatic life. I guess if your alright killing all your frogs it’s alright killing Dolphins, Sea Turtles and the rest. When does this stop? Are we that morally bankrupt as Americans that we don’t even know the difference between what’s right and what’s wrong anymore. Is this the future for Florida?
I guess if your alright killing everything beautiful your willing to dilute facts just to sustain yourself.
The science is there the indigenous way of farming is Healthy for all life known and unknown. Diverse organic abstract layers both living and dead, both below and above ground creates perfect eh ph and photosynthesis.
To everyone’s health, think and grow regeneratively.
