Just going through some of your older material, and I have to bring this up 4 years later. Hopefully you see it. My issue is: If humic substances are the end result of decomposition, and fungal decomposition specifically, why have they not built up in the soil after centuries or eons? I'm trying to get a handle on this concept. My understanding is a bit contrary in that "humus" really isn't a thing in soil, and "humic subtances" are merely the result of our extraction processes as you explain clearly - not natural processes (decomposition). A good portion (60-80%) of the slow turnover pool in soil is actually microbial necromass protected by soil silicate colloids otherwise called mineral associated organic matter MAOM. I've somewhat answered my own question, maybe, in that "humic subtances" are actually a very, VERY small fraction of SOM. So my comment then is, if we keep adding this extract product to the soil it should build up over time if nothing eats it. ?? For now it may be a good thing as it provides a home/substrate for the microbiome. Is this correct thinking? Just looking to adjust my logic here because it's not quite adding up. Thanks for your time!
I really enjoy these podcasts and generally pick up some new information regarding the chemistry side of growing crops from each episode. The biology conversation, on the other hand, has taken a strange turn from talking about the specific microorganism groups (bacteria, fungi, protozoa, nematodes, etc.) and their roles and benefits to a more esoteric tone that undermines progress on this front given your reach, and it seems this happened as a result of some testing done by someone trained by Dr. Ingham to perform microorganism quantification, which did not agree with some of your physical crop growth observations after applying a biological product you sell. Is that right? Can you provide us with an explanation as to why you do not see value in these quantification techniques? Either the organisms are there or they aren't, and if they aren't, wouldn't the desired crop health/yield observed likely be a result of the chemistry also applied in that scenario you spoke of, not because biology WAS optimally functioning contrary to what the lab report suggested?
I am unclear what you are referring to. Lab tests of any kind need to provide “manage-able” data. The data is useful only to degree we can make management decisions with it, and actually have the management capacity and knowledge to apply it. Lab tests which don’t provide manage-able data are frivolous.
@@JohnKempfVisionBuilder I understand that you might not have access to large amounts compost with each microorganism group at ideal populations or biomass, which does make it tough to make recommendations to clients regarding establishing optimally functioning soil biology, but you are always forging a path through the cutting edge techniques and your reach allows you to influence a scenario in which this type of material is more widely available. The bacterial and mycorrhizal inoculants are great and help unlock otherwise unavailable nutrition from the soil profile, but you have spoken about the importance of these other microorganism groups (saprophytic soil fungi, flagellates, amoebae, bacterial-feeding nematodes, fungal-feeding nematodes, etc.) and their importance (i.e. "we believe soil biology trumps soil chemistry"), so many of us were hoping you would continue to develop that synergy between mineral balancing and holistic microorganism balancing that we all know is the real key to regenerative agriculture. I think if you took the time to understand how actionable the data from these tests can be, you'd be pleased with the results. Again, thanks for what you do. It has allowed me to develop that synergy between chemistry and biology as it relates to growing crops.
US Army biologist studying the effects of radiation on plant life at ground zero in Hiroshima discovered that badly affected annual weeds went from apparent annihilation, to progressively less severe mutations, to better than before the blast, in nine generations. This implies that the plant is capable of adaption to radioactive substances. It is pretty much certain that the radioactive isotopes were still present on the soil, but somehow, the plants could flourish. Perhaps the adaption to radioactive substances came about through the rapid adaption of soil micro organisms which have short life spans. If nine generations allows adaption, then it is obvious that a short lived organism achieves the nine generation 'benchmark' far more rapidly than an annual weed. The question is does this adaptability move up the food chain. One thing that seems quite probable is that the more diverse and healthy the soil microbes are, the more likely that they will adapt successfully and rapidly. It is humus which guarantees soil health more than any other known substance. If all of the contaminated areas were top dressed with a heavy application of properly prepared compost, who knows what might happen. At least the radioactivity would be covered and rendered stable. We currently waste million of tonnes annually of organic carbon through uncontrolled forest and scrub fires, and this is the very material which is the most important element in manufacturing compost. The trillions of creatures currently dying from Fukushima pollution should be harvested also, as incorporating these dangerous nitrogenous materials would sequester any radioactive substance in their bodies. These dead fish and other dead creatures would be best managed properly rather than burying or burning them randomly. Any dead fish left on beaches or in bodies of water will produce red and blue-green algae at any rate, so collection and sequestration would be the most sensible solution. If we collected and managed the organic carbon for fire protection alone, this would have to be worthwhile. Also, this task would be a perfect way to improve the vegetative cover, especially biodiverse forests, so essential for planetary well being, as well as being the perfect opportunity to create millions of exciting and useful jobs.
Lab it's in em1 and its can help with radioactive instances there's been studies done already with it. Its called lactis bacillus or lacks pasilla or LAB. You should Google imo 1. IMO stands for indigenous microorganisms.
Question - we fill a 55-gallon drum with well water which has a pH of approximately 7.8. we then add 10 cups of leonardite and we stir this solution several times a day for approximately 2 days and we come out with a solution that is 5.5 pH. what would you call this?
Does humaCarb help any with nitrogen volatilization? And if it is applied on the surface with nitrogen will the crop be able to take it up, or will it not be able to leach into the root zone for absorption?
The powder that forms after addition of sodium hydroxide is a nano material that is bio compatible and is an excellent source of energy for all living things. In Plasma science, it is another state of matter, that is why you said it is not affected by acid or alkaline, it is no longer in the matter state form but that of similar state to living things. Anyone can tap energy from it regardless of distance and it can supply energy for several years. It is like you are accessing the energy of the individual atom. Unlimited application, only your imagination is the limit.
Potassium generally stays in the soil, and isn’t particularly leachable. The best way to build soil CEC is to build organic matter using cover crops and crop rotations.
I found this at Google by using your relevant words: For general soil conditioning, apply 2 quarts per acre mixed in a minimum 15 gallons of water directly to soil in fall and early spring. May also be applied at the same rate at pre-plant, planting, or for Residue Management. Apply 1 quart per acre when foliar applying with liquid nitrogen or other fertility products.

Would fulvic acid and humic acid be good for acidic loving plants since the fulvic acid helps the up take of nutrients on any ph level .i heard some fulvic acid have a low ph level and some are neutral ph level . I was wondering like i have blue berries plants and they need a soil ph around 4.5 to 6.5 so they can up take the nutrients but since the fulvic acid make nutrients easy to up take .do i not have to worry about ph levels in my soil ? Like can it be neutral level now ? Like a soil ph level of 7 . Since the fulvic makes nutrients available at any ph level or should i still try to to keep my soil at a ph level 5.5 for my blue berries plants while giving them the humic acids ?
Hi there, my plants got eaten from the inside last year all 60 of them i grow outdoor weed, they all started great then the arms started dropping off. I believe it was a bug that hijacked my plants nutrients. How can i pregent this again. People say heat kills them.
Hi Barristan Selmy! This is a great question. Learning more about our Plant Health Pyramid would be a great place to start! www.advancingecoag.com/plant-health-pyramid and studio.ua-cam.com/users/videoD1wJefaFrVI/edit - The AEA Team
We have a lot of advisors in our area that like to use phosphites to help drive in their foliar micro nutrition into the plant. I’ve been staying away from over use of phosphites and have been using fulvic acid with my micro nutrition. Is there a possibility of over using fulvic’s? And what do you feel is more effective in aiding in the uptake of foliar nutrition?
It is a great idea to avoid over use of phosphites, and to include phosphates in the same spray blend when possible. Phosphites can replace phosphate in plant compounds such as ATP, which then becomes dysfunctional. Use in small amounts only. Fulvic acid is very effective at moving minerals into plants. I am not aware of any downsides or that it can be overused.
@@williamlau7179 using a fulvic the carbon residue isn’t noticeable with the naked eye not even a 20x lens. Tho with that said I’ve been using other carbon product to mediate salt problems and yes they are noticeable but so is the plant response!!
Hi! I was going to purchase some Leonardite until I read their heavy metal report. Do heavy metals like arsenic, lead and mercury leach out in a raised bed garden like nutrients? Would biochar be a suitable alternative to humic substances? Thanks!
when you say you blend humacarb in with liquid nitrogen or liquid phosphorus "10 32, 10 28, 10 34 0" are you referring to conventional fertilizer? I don't use conventional and I dont have any liquid organic fertilizer, can I apply with high nitrogen/phosphorus manure? Do you rec another organic fertilizer? thanks
You can apply with liquid manure. Depending on the water percentage used in the liquid manure we use one gallon HumaCarb for 5000-10000 gallons of liquid manure.
Yes, we do it in Canada, in sandy soils, mostly vineyards, it comes in sands sizes, also it get put in the irrigation water, I do it here in Arizona in my 8PH very fine clay soil, it really has helped, it is much cheaper than the liquid version, I do a bit of foliar, to micro feed if the tissue samples show need. I'm lucky both places, very close to the mine sites.
