What IMO can do for you?

By re-introducing the native fungal and bacterial species, protozoans, nematodes, and microarthropods to a soil medium the nutrient cycle is put back into place. This natural “checks and balances” system reduces the need for pesticides and synthetic fertilizer as nature is working for you. 

As the wheel of the nutrient cycle begins to turn again, nutrients once locked away are made readily available to plants. This reduces the need for conventional fertilization and reclaims unused fertilizer from previous applications. 

By correcting the ratio of fungi to bacteria, the competitive edge of pioneer species (weeds, annual grasses, etc.) diminishes, and a greater advantage is given to the intermediate species (grasses, perennials, vegetables, shrubs, and trees). This is just one benefit of a fungal dominant soil. 

Re-establishing the native mycelial network increases the ability of any plant to uptake nutrients, defend against disease, and access more water than previously able. In doing so, plants receive more macro and micronutrients needed to perform optimally and water availability is increased via the mycelial network.

Some beneficial results in establishing a more fungal dominant soil is an increase in water retention and erosion control. Mycelial networks act as roots, retaining water and holding soil in place. This drastically reduces the amount of water needed to maintain health and ensures that soil stays in place without being compacted.  

By promoting a healthy soil life, plants work in the way they were designed. Trading sugars for water and nutrients via the mycelial network and gaining defenses from the same network ensure that a plant is getting everything it needs. Just as nature intended. If we allow plants to work in this way, then we notice a decrease in both pesticides and GMO needs, and an increase in overall crop yield and immune health. 

Foliar applications of Liquid Indigenous Microorganisms (LIMO) is not only a great way to get nutrients to a plant quickly but also helps with defense against any airborne enemies looking for an opportunity to strike.

Many of these products can be used with livestock. Feed can be soaked in SOS to increase immune health, gut health, and nutrient absorption. IMO4 can be used to eliminate unwanted smells from livestock bedding through beneficial bacteria. In addition, any plant material treated with KNF products consumed by livestock with have a positive effect. 

In some cases, plants might need a little guidance or a bit of help when it comes time for a change over such as flowering or fruiting. In these cases, certain inputs can be added to an application to help steer a plant in the right direction, increase flower count thus increasing yield, or help sustain fruit growth for a bountiful fruit tree.  

The rate of decomposition depends on what biology is present. By using certain KNF inputs, decomposition speeds are increased and the biology present at the end of the process is more favorable for plant life.
