    Supporting the Microbiome Leads to Crop Success

    As crop nutrition experts, the Mosaic team takes pride in providing best-in-class performance fertilizers to provide a balance of macro and micronutrients for plants. With the advancement in science, we also recognize the importance of the microbiome when it comes to plant health. Microbes, which are microscopic organisms, live in the microbiome and are fundamental to plant health and productivity.

     

    Maintaining and enhancing the microbiome can increase nutrient uptake, alleviate abiotic stress and increase yield. As we learn more about different microbes, we can determine what species exhibit certain behaviors and characteristics, which enables us to choose the right microbes to include in our biologicals.

    Supporting the Mighty Microbiome

    While unnoticeable to the naked eye, the microbiome that surrounds a plant — both above ground and in the soil — hosts tremendous potential to push plant health and yields to levels not yet seen. Microbes form symbiotic relationships with plants, exchanging nutrients and signaling growth and development.

     

    One way to harness the power of the microbiome is to apply a biological to the crop. Biologicals are designed from carefully selected microbes proven to promote plant health, setting crops up for success during critical growth periods.

     

    Nutrient Utilization

    One of the biggest advantages of supporting the microbiome is the ability to improve nutrient utilization. Certain microbes are able to solubilize nutrients, making them easily accessible to plants and leading to improved absorption of nutrients and efficiency.

    Plant Health

    With proper support of the microbiome, growers may notice the impacts on plants within the season from improved nutrient uptake and utilization to help mitigating abiotic stressors. These improvements support the plant for season-long success, helping yield potential at the end of the season.

     

    Supporting the microbiome is vital for maximizing plant health and productivity. The microbiome shapes nutrient uptake, abiotic stress tolerance and season-long health. By incorporating biological technologies such as BioPath® or PowerCoat® into crop input plans, growers can unlock the full potential of their crops.
