Questions and Answers about BioLynceus'
Biological Solutions’ Products
in Agricultural Soils
1. Do BioLynceus products replace commercial fertilizer
usage or
can fertilizer be decreased?
BioLynceus products promote increased efficiency of the use of commercial
fertilizers. We recommend that the grower continue a balanced fertilizer program
until the biological foodweb in soil builds sufficient humus reserves to allow
reduced fertilizer additions. The biological foodweb in a balanced soil will
produce significant quantities of nutrients for crop growth. It takes two or
three years to achieve the biological balance to significantly reduce commercial
fertilizer applications.
2. Why doesn't my fertilizer company know more about the biological nature of
soils?
The importance of soil biological in soils has been known for many years.
Conventional fertilizers have been successful in improving plants but have not
significantly improved soil fertility. Now, many growers have recognized that
the productivity of their soil is diminishing. By considering the balance or
biological processes and conventional fertilizers, the soil can be improved and
returned to a high level of productivity in a few years. By improving the biological
nature of soil, growers find that they can reduce the amount of conventional
fertilizer necessary to grow high yielding crops. This reverses the trend that
most growers are experiencing. Some fertilizer companies are concerned about
loss of revenue due to growers needing less fertilizer.
3. What is the biological foodweb in soil?
The biological foodweb is the biological food chain in soil consisting of bacteria,
algae, actinomycetes, fungi, protozoa, nematodes, microarthropods, macroarthropods,
and earthworms. In a handful of healthy soil in the population of these organisms
can exceed the number of people on the earth. The biological foodweb is the stomach
of the soil and provides a humus storage bank of nutrients that the plant can
access.
4. Will BioLynceus' products cause shock or burning of a plants?
No. BioLynceus' products will not cause any adverse effects to plants. It contains no harsh minerals but produces a biostimulation of the soil
foodweb to increase the biodiversity of the soil. Research has shown that increase
in the soil biodiversity causes a direct result in increasing soil fertility.
5. How often should BioLynceus' products be applied?
Repeated applications during the crop year have proven to be very effective.
BioLynceus' products should be applied consistently throughout the
growing season.
6. I have experienced increasing disease and insect problems. How
will BioLynceus' products affect these problems?
Research has shown that weaker plants attract insect and disease. By increasing
the biological activity in the soil and increasing the biodiversity of the
biological food web in the soil, many diseases are significantly reduced
and/or eliminated. As the fertility of the soil increases supporting healthier
plants there is less need for insect control as when the soil is out of balance.
7. How soon after application of BioLynceus' products can I expect
results?
The visible results are not immediate, but can usually be seen after two
or three irrigations. Generally, improved water penetration and retention
are significant. Tight soil conditions are generally improved by increased
flocculation and aeration of the soil. This encourages a larger root system
that can improve nutrient uptake to the plant. Cultivation and tillage begin
to reveal a more mellow soil condition. Digging into the soil reveals that
organic matter is converting into humus by the increased biological action.
Often earthworms appear more abundant than in the past. Treating soil with
Biological Solutions for three years along with good fertilizer and management
can significantly increase the basic fertility and productivity of the soil.
