How will the TwinN microbes affect my soils and can there be detrimental effects to native microbe populations?
TwinN is expected to have a positive impact on soils. The microbes in TwinN are found in all five continents of the world, and though applied in a concentrated form to enable commercial nitrogen fixation, do not out-compete native microbes. They are mainly endophytes and live within the plant vascular system or close to the root zone, populations dying back once the host plant is harvested or removed. Synergistic effects have been observed with applications of other beneficial microbes such as Trichoderma and AMF and plants grown in healthy soils, rich in organic mater matter (being an advantage but not a necessity), with the correct mineral and trace element balance and microbe density thrive on TwinN applications.
