Soil Consulting and Crop Consulting in Illinois. You may call it soil testing, soil sampling, or soil health management, but it is more than that. These are my daily or weekly travels in soil and crop consulting and my observations in the agricultural world.

Micorrhyzae help roots
This seems like a good follow up to my blog earlier this week about roots. You may recall that I pointed out that roots contact about 1% of the soil, while micorrhyzae fungi contact about 10% of the soil and help bring water and nutrients to plants. As I learn more, I am convinced that enhancement of micorrhyzae is important to carry yields to new heights. According to No-Till Farmer a Canadian researcher is looking at inoculation of crops with beneficial micorrhyzae. The research so far is showing that no-till enhances the survival of the beneficial fungi.
