Why is Soil Health Important?

Soil health is a function of many internal and external factors and can be measured in several ways. Regulating these metrics to enhance soil health for the current growing season and maintaining it for future seasons is an important consideration for every grower.

After completing this module, you should be able to answer the following questions:
How is soil health defined?
How does healthy soil improve return on investment?
How does healthy soil help protect the environment?
How is soil health measured?
What is the effect of soil health properties that are out of balance?


How to Manage Soil Health

It is critical to understand how soil works and how to keep it working efficiently. Healthy, productive soil helps growers maximize their inputs to maximize yield and return on investment.

After completing this module, you should be able to answer the following questions:
How does tracking my soil and tissue nutrient levels improve yields?
How do soil type and soil texture affect land management practices?
How can I foster soil health in high production fields?
What is the soil microbiome and why is it important to soil health?
How do I supplement and feed the soil microbiome?
What is the benefit of continuous, vigorous root growth?
How can I be more efficient with fertilizer inputs?


What can C2 Technology do for Soil Health?

Soil health is a critical variable in maximizing ROI and practicing good environmental stewardship. Products with C2 technology are designed to provide support for beneficial microbes and necessary carbon and micronutrient levels.

After completing this module, you should be able to answer the following questions:
What are the benefits of adding C2 technology to provide carbon as organic matter substances and carbohydrates to my soil?
What are the benefits of reacting nutrients with C2 technology?
How can application rates increase or decrease the benefits of these technologies?


What can Biocatalyst Technology do for Soil Health?

Healthy, productive soil helps growers maximize their inputs to maximize yield and ROI. This module focuses on some of the solutions available from Loveland Products to help improve and maintain soil health.

After completing this module, you should be able to answer the following questions:
How does Biocatalyst technology work?
What are the specific benefits of adding Biocatalyst technology to my soil?
Which biocatalyst technology product(s) are right for me?


What can WaterMaxx 2 do for Soil Health?

Soil health is a critical variable in maximizing ROI and practicing good environmental stewardship. Maximizing water use efficiency is an effective approach to promote healthy soil. WaterMaxx 2 soil surfactant can help growers achieve this goal.

After completing this module, you should be able to answer the following questions:
How does water move through the soil?
What is the difference between hygroscopic water, capillary water, and gravitational water?
What are hydrophobic materials present on soil particles?
What are the benefits of improving my water use efficiency?
How does WaterMaxx 2 improve water use efficiency?
