Soil is much more than a physical support: it is a living system that regulates fertility, water, carbon, and, by extension, the productivity of our crops. We are learning more and more about its complex microbiology: PGP bacteria, beneficial fungi, and mycorrhizae facilitate nutrient absorption, activate defenses, and improve soil structure. When these communities function well, the land responds: greater resilience, fewer inputs, and more productive crops.
Soil is a finite and non-renewable resource, so conserving it is not an option; it is a responsibility and a necessity. Agriculture that looks to the future involves improving the soil, preventing its degradation, and working with biological processes that contribute to its preservation and enhancement. Products like
4 key recommendations to improve soil health
1️⃣ Promote beneficial microbial activity
Maintaining an active rhizosphere allows for more efficient nutrient cycling and a more stable and functional soil. Products designed to promote this activity, such as Saviavital Rhyzo, are great allies.
2️⃣ Protect the soil structure
Reducing compaction, optimizing irrigation and avoiding aggressive tillage helps preserve soil aggregates and improve infiltration and aeration.
3️⃣ Increase soil organic carbon
Organic carbon is the foundation of fertility: it improves water retention, feeds the microbiota, and helps create soils that are more resilient to stress and degradation.
4️⃣ Avoid practices that impair microbiological life
The continued use of chemical fungicides, leaving the soil bare, or maintaining unbalanced fertilization strategies over time all contribute to this. Living soil depends on practices that protect these natural communities and microbiological life.
At Bioera, we promote agriculture that starts from the ground up: in the rhizosphere, in organic carbon, in PGP bacteria, in soil life. Saviavital Rhyzo is a prime example of how we can help farmers with solutions that strengthen the foundation of all crops. Today, on World Soil Day, we are reminded of this clearly: caring for the soil is caring for the future.
