How StrongSoil Enhances Nutrient Acquisition and Efficiency, Resulting in Better Soil Health and Crop Production
Webinar Replay | Presented by Lynn Rogers, CEO and President of Microbial Matrix Systems Inc.
Dive beneath the surface to learn how soil microbes could revolutionize your farming operation. Soil microbiology expert, Lynn Rogers, unveils the science behind StrongSoil's remarkable ability to enhance crop production through seven distinct functional bacterial groups. During this webinar replay, you’ll learn about:
Seven key bacterial groups form the foundation of effective soil biologicals
Endospore-forming bacteria improve soil structure and create pockets for water and root penetration
Free-living nitrogen-fixing bacteria convert atmospheric nitrogen into plant-available forms
Phosphorus-solubilizing bacteria free up locked nutrients across different soil pH conditions
Bacteria act as living nutrient banks, releasing resources in sync with plant growth stages
Pseudomonads produce plant growth hormones and help plants overcome stress conditions
Quorum sensing allows bacterial communities to coordinate activities based on population density
Repeated microbial inoculation is necessary for consistent benefits in agricultural settings
The full yield potential established at seed sowing can be preserved with effective biological inputs
The Science Behind StrongSoil
During the webinar, you’ll learn that endospore-forming bacteria survive harsh conditions by forming protective structures, then spring into action when needed. These microbes create a more hospitable environment by binding soil particles together, forming crucial pockets for water infiltration and root penetration. The result? Better access to nutrients and improved drought resistance across your fields.
What sets Strong Soil apart is its comprehensive impact on the nitrogen cycle—fixing atmospheric nitrogen, converting organic nitrogen to plant-available forms, and facilitating the nitrification process. Meanwhile, phosphorus-solubilizing bacteria address one of agriculture's most persistent challenges by freeing locked-up phosphorus from calcium, magnesium, or iron bonds, regardless of your soil's pH.
Perhaps most remarkable is how these microbes synchronize nutrient availability with plant demand cycles. They store nutrients and release them precisely when crops need them most during critical growth stages. Pseudomonads produce growth hormones for better root and canopy development, while also helping plants overcome stress conditions through sophisticated chemical communication systems.
From blueberry fields in Oregon to cotton in West Texas and soybeans in Minnesota, these principles apply across diverse growing regions. Remember—your crop's full yield potential is established at planting and typically diminishes throughout the season due to environmental stressors. By incorporating StrongSoil into your program, you're preserving that potential and giving your crops their best chance for optimal performance.
