All farming involves the management of an ecosystem
It starts in the soil and the interaction between soil and plant is biological. When a seed germinates and sets roots it immediately creates the plant rhizosphere. Effectively this is the plants digestive system where it interacts with soil biology and minerals and establishes the natural exchange of carbon for nutrients. The rhizosphere is the microbial bridge, the health and function of which determines a plants ability to fully express its natural potential for nutrition, pest and disease resilience, and yield.
In a highly developed and functioning biological system there are some 60,000 – 100,000 species of organisms in the soil (one teaspoon of soil could contain 5 billion bacteria, 20 million fungi and 1 million protozoa and algae!). Even systems subjected to harsh practices may have 5,000 – 10,000 species functioning and many more just waiting for the appropriate food resources.
At Elevate Seeds we understand this and is why we choose to partner with BioAg from the beginning with incorporation of BioAg Soil & Seed biostimulant with our seed mixes.
Soil & Seed supports the seed biome (every seed carries its own biome) and it is the first step in the stimulation of a healthy rhizosphere.
BioAg manufactures and supplies unique biological cultures (stimulants) and bio-active phosphate fertilizer's.
BioAg provides complete soil, crop and/or pasture fertility programmers based on comprehensive soil testing, visual soil assessments along with crop, pasture or stock indicators and farmer objectives using our biological technology and expertise to support the optimum farm performance.

Improved seed germination.
- Improved seedling growth.
- Improved root growth.
- Increases soil microbial biomass.
Excerpt from Soil Microorganisms and Higher Plants, Krasilnikov N.A.
The principal property of the soil fertility is determined by biological factors, mainly by microorganisms. The development of life in soil endows it with the property of fertility. "The notion of soil is inseparable from the notion of the development of living organisms in it".
Testimonial
"Weed control was easy as the crop flew out of the ground and we gained
canopy closure very quickly."
