Expected Results

1. Increase of root weight

2. Encourages a deeper root zone

3. Increases the biological activity within the soil

4. Increases in nitrogen and overall health of the soil

5. Increases of organic matter content in the soil

6. Greener crops, more vivid colors, more bountiful flowers

Expected Results

6. Increases BRIX of Sugar in leaf and fruit

7. Increases protein in crops

8. Increases yield of harvested material

9. Increases soil quality (compaction)

10. Reduces fertilizer and pesticide use

11. Reduces leaching of nutrients

12. Decreases watering requirements

THE SCIENCE

OF OPTIMIZING SOIL

To optimize soil health ↓

Manage all 4 groups↓

Neglect any group↓

= Failure

Soil is predominantly 4 components

To Optimize Soil Health Manage

These 3 Components

Managing Soil Health

Nutrient Component Maintain mineral balance

(Ca,Mg,Na,K & other micronutrients & salts)

Biological Component Manage “living” part of

soil

Physical Component Appropriate irrigation,

aeration and compaction of soil

Check Water

Physical ComponentManage irrigation times,

total dissolved solids

Perform a water analysis

Sodium > 160 Excessive Bicarbonates > 90 Excessive Total Diss. Salts > 800 Excessive Mg > 40 Excessive Chloride > 100 Excessive Sulfur > 200 Excessive

Check Air

Physical ComponentAppropriate aeration and

compaction of the soil. Soil biology will perform this function when active and present in recommended

numbers.

Check SoilMineral Matter Content

Nutrient Component Maintain mineral balance Calcium,

Magnesium, Potassium, Salt and other micronutrients. Balance and coordinate

with fertilizer use.

Balance MineralsAdjust for Specific Crop

“By bringing Ca, Mg, Na, and K into equilibrium, we will automatically adjust pH in a soil system suitable for plant growth.”

Calcium 68 – 70% Magnesium 10 - 20% Potassium 2 - 5% Sodium < 3%

Adjust for site-specific issues

Analyze Organic Matter

Biological Component Manage “living” part of

soil (microbiology & organic matter)

Use Vega-tare™ to build your Organic Matter

Vega-tare™ harvest-to-harvest is a cold processed, enzymatically digested, fresh food soil amendment and plant food, that acts as an all-natural bio-stimulant.

The SoilFood Web

Feeding microbes builds humus in the soil The oil content of Vega-tare allows it to stay where

applied.

The Program

Understand the uniqueness of the site Take soils test — Soil Food Web and minerals analysis Check water quality and address impurities Check aeration and develop treatment Adjust mineral content, adjust for specific crop Implement regular Vega-tare™ and reduced fertilization program Periodic re-testing and re-balancing

Summary:

Adjust to the uniqueness of the site Balance soils for crop and manage mineral content Adjust to water quality & aerate Implement a low-nitrogen / low-watering program Reduce use of pesticides & fertilizers Use Vega-tare™ harvest to harvest as a bio-

stimulant Periodically re-test and re-balance
