Its application increases beneficial microbial activity, creating a more robust ecosystem and unlocking more nutrition for the plant to thrive. Furthermore, it builds the plants natural resistance to pest and disease, resulting in higher crop yields, better soil fertility and a decreased reliance on synthetic fertilisers.
Agriculture is beginning to understand the importance of soil biology. PyroAg Wood Vinegar, by fostering a thriving microbial community, not only enhances nutrient cycling and soil structure but also increases the number and diversity of plant growth promoting microbes.
PyroAg Wood Vinegar not only promotes sustainable agriculture but also offers a cost-effective solution. With its affordable application rates, farmers can reduce overall expenditure while achieving higher crop yields and improved soil health. These benefits underscore PyroAg’s commitment to providing environmentally friendly farming practices that are economically rewarding for farmers.
