The document discusses how a product called Salinity Mitigator can help reduce seedling mortality and crop loss caused by high soluble salt levels in soil. It provides data on typical seedling loss at different salt readings and how one application of Salinity Mitigator reduced loss from 75% to 8%. It also lists farms that have successfully used the product to improve yields on berry, citrus and other crops.

These organisms create a natural ecosystem in the soil that bypasses the limitations of the Cation /Anion model of agriculture.<br />Who is involved?<br />Beneficial bacteria digest salts in the soil taking them out of the effective soil solution. Beneficial fungal cultures weather harder elements, store nutrients, provide soil structure, and nutrient pathways through the soil.<br />Protozoa eat both bacteria and fungi releasing the locked nutrients as amino acids and enzymes which are preferable foods for plants than ionic salt fertilizers.<br />Quite a bit of research has been done on this topic. Here are a few pioneers in this field should you wish to understand the natural process of nutrient cycling in the soil.<br />Dr. Elain Ingham - Soil Food InstituteDr. Melchior Dikkers – Professor of Biochemistry Loyola UnivversitySaatoshi Mori & Naoko Nishizawa – University. of TokyoN.M.

If you have a EC meter or have had a lab test done then apply 4 oz of Salinity Mitigator per acre for every 1% of soluble salt in your soil solution. Continued application with fertilization will increase nutrient uptake, and reduce leeching into the groundwater. The Following is a list of farms that have used our products over the last 5 years.
