Soil Activator, a soil probiotic from Earth Alive, is now available in the U.S. Soil Activator is designed to create healthier plants and higher yields, with reduced fertilizer and water use. It is said to improve plant nutrient uptake by converting soil minerals into easily absorbable nutrients.
In two trials in Ecuador, Soil Activator improved potato production by helping plants grow greener and more vigorous vines and by increasing yields by an average of 10 percent, according to the company.
Soil Activator is 100 percent certified organic, containing no GMOs or chemically synthesized materials. It can also be used in conventional growing, allowing the use of less fertilizer to gain the same or better results. The company recommends applying the product at planting.
