Bio-Fertilizers Delivering Nutrients
Improving Nutrient Availability
Microbes are an essential part of a healthy and productive soil and are part of the nutrient uptake process for plants. Specific bacteria (beyond compost tea) known as the Plant Growth Promoting Rhizobacteria (PGPR) are part of a plant’s process of utilizing the minerals of soil as a nutrient. These microbes make the chemistry needed to solution the minerals of soil and rocks and deliver those minerals to the plant’s vascular system. This is called the Rhizophagy Cycle and Soil Secrets owns the intellectual information for producing a huge diversity of microbiology that can be added to your soil, improving the availability of essential minerals. In addition to bacteria and archaea microbes, Mycorrhizal fungi also play a vital function in nutrient and water uptake for most plants. Mycorrhizal fungi explore the soil beyond the reach of the host plant they are connected to, where minerals and water are absorbed into the fungi roots called hyphae and delivered back to the host plant.
Protective effects of beneficial endophytic fungi have been described for many host-pest interactions. These effects go beyond developing healthier host plants via improved nutrition, by strengthening plant immunity through defense priming (Jung et al. 2012). Understanding how beneficial fungi affect secondary metabolism and defense priming is of substantial agricultural interest. This is one more area in which mycorrhizal fungi and endophytic fungi are likely to make important contributions for biocontrol and integrated management of pests and diseases.

Improving Photosynthesis
In agriculture and urban horticulture, our mistake is viewing plants as something needing fertilizer, pulling nutrients from the soil. However, without plant roots, we cannot grow topsoil, or beneficial microbes, or the chemicals such as humics that are essential for healthy and productive soil.
Photosynthesis is all about the conversion of energy from the sun being collected by the plant, along with Carbon Dioxide, and turning it into the high-energy molecules of life called proteins, Fats, and Carbohydrates. These are the building blocks of energy needed by our plants and the Plant Growth Promoting Rhizobacteria associated with the plant roots. However since agriculture and urban horticulture are ecosystems that we are constantly harvesting from, we must fortify something back for what is being mined from the soil.
To improve Photosynthesis nutrients such as amino acids that provide nitrogen can be added, and phosphorus needed to build the high energy molecules called ATP in the mitochondria might need to be added, and nutritional calories containing stuff the microbes need as food should also be added.
