Biofeed contains humic acids, which are high in carbon, how does carbon improve soil fertility?
Plants which generally contain up to 40% carbon, absorb it from the atmosphere through the leaves in the form of carbon dioxide, but they also absorb carbon compounds through the roots that is produce by soil microbes. Biofeed products increase the rate of conversion of decaying plant matter to carbon-rich compounds or humus that aids in retaining plant nutrients in an exchangeable form. This humus or humic matter serves as a long-term source of energy for essential soil microorganisms. Without carbon in the soil, the biological food web is deficient and plant life suffers. The addition of plant residues, manures, compost or products that generate organic matter such as Biofeed Probiotic products from within the soil contribute significantly to balancing the plant/soil carbon requirements.
