How Soil Microbes Impact Nutrient Uptake
See how SOURCE works beneath the soil.
Nutrient Efficiency Optimized
The data behind SOURCE
Reduce nitrogen without impacting yield
USE SOURCE TO REDUCE NITROGEN WHILE MAINTAINING YIELD
SOURCE effectively tackles nitrogen deficiencies in plant tissues, boosting nitrogen content by over 15% in environments without sufficient N. Thanks to the microbes activated by SOURCE, crops consistently receive the necessary nitrogen all season long.
Reduce phosphorus without impacting yield
USE SOURCE TO UNLOCK THE PHOSPHORUS IN YOUR SOIL THAT IS GOING UNUSED.
SOURCE activates phosphorus solubilizing soil microbes, allowing growers replace 25 pounds of phosphorus while maintaining yield. The data shows the average SOURCE yield effect in small plot trials.
Increase access to 11 key micronutrients
WITH SOURCE, YOU GET A LOT MORE THAN JUST NITROGEN.
Using data from 319 fields in 24 states, tissue tests across multiple seasons show that SOURCE helps improve nutrient levels, especially where crops are experiencing nutrient stress. The extra N+P provided by SOURCE increases root mass, which leads to enhanced uptake of multiple macro and micro nutrients.
The Science Behind SOURCE
Improving nutrient use efficiency through biochemistry
Plants and microbes behave symbiotically – microbes provide plants with N&P and in exchange the plant feeds the microbes.
SOURCE mimics a signal that attracts microbes to plants. More microbes means more opportunity for nutrient exchange.
Plants create exudates to feed microbes in natural systems. However, synthetic nitrogen weakens that connection and plants are not able to access the nutrients they need.
SOURCE helps restore the natural connection between plant and microbe again. In doing so, plants are able to access the nutrients they need when they need it.
Microbes produce enzymes that transform phosphorus into a form that is digestible by plants.
SOURCE replicates a chemical signal that causes the microbes to increase activity and deliver more digestible phosphorus to the root mass.
How BLUEPRINT works
BLUEPRINT offers the highest quality arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) available, enabling crops to reach further into the soil and gain more access to nutrients and water when they are needed most.
AMF is one of the longest-standing crop biological partners, and the only biological that plants rely on for macronutrients, micronutrients and water.
Together with SOURCE, BLUEPRINT expands the crop’s reach beyond the roots. It’s like a nutrient and water superhighway for your plants.
