Organic Wheat
Recommendation Objective:
Build the fungal component of soil biology to get to a higher level of plant beneficial function. Diversify and increase the microbial community to reduce, control and eliminate invasive weeds. Increase Germination, control, suppress insects. Eliminate fusarium and other soil borne disease. Increase nutrient efficency, opening up key nutrient pathways. Improve plant stress, drought, heat. Increase protein content (from increased of N in the Amino Acid From and improve protein synthesis efficiency. Increase yield. Neutralize and quiet the effects of aluminum, chloride. Earlier and more uniform harvest. Reduce, eliminate compaction, improve Oxygen into the microbial living ecosystem. Eliminate non beneficial pests, soil borne disease, because of the chitinase enzyme in crustaceans. Increase root size from feeding plant growth hormones, cytokonins, auxins. Improve carbon/water cycling, decreasing weed germination. Available / organic form of calcium

Phase 1 / Field Operation / Seed Tender
Preplant seed inoculation with beneficial microbes which increases germination seed emergence and seedling vigot. Reduces seedling stress, increase root mass. As roots grow, they bring the beneficial microbe population with them to colonize more soil volume, increase hair root development.
Mycorrhizae increases the water use efficiency, stress tolerance and phosphate fertilizer efficiency. Improves carbon cycling, air to the microbes, decrease compaction
Feeding the microbial community, a diverse diet which Reinforces the microbe population and sucessive colonization. Push photosynthetic root flush of exudates to direct microbes to gather and produce what the plant needs for this plant vegetative growth phase. Microbe metabolites improve plant energy to support plant to set more ears of corn. Available organic Phos and Ca, sets the stage to maximize nutrient uptake.

Phase 3 / Field Operation / Tillering, Growth Stage
Benefits including: Amino acid form of Nitrogen, provide energy to the plant to metabolize nutrients. Setting the stage for next years crops by providing the fungi responsible for crop residue breakdown to deny over-wintering habitat to potential plant pests and pathogens, releases nutrients to feed next crop and ramp up beneficial microbe population for beneficial functions for the next crop, e.g. stress tolerance, nutrient status, disease suppression and protection, etc. Improved soil structure drains faster and holds more water.
