Capturing Residue to Build Soil Organic Matter 

Do you mean Jeevamrut? And do you use green manuring as well?

Hugo Posh has it done well now

Does that feed bacteria or fungi?

@@johnjacob442 Green Staff feeds bacteria, brown staff feeds fungi - just rule of thumb.

Thanks!

Agree!

Have you heard of Korean Natural Farming? They used their KNF methods to turn lava into soil. They grow IMO (indigenous Microrganisms) which they spread on their soil. See Drak YT channel for an intro. IMO = bacteria, nematodes and fungi.

We're glad you were able to find some interesting information in here, despite the wordiness :) Thank you! - The AEA Team

Wood chips are a very strong fungal food, which lead to fungal dominated soils, which is not favored by some crops. In general, I would prefer mulching with wood chips to not mulching.

I've had a lot of success sheet mulching with wood chips. If you bury them they will use a lot of the nitrogen but on the surface they keep the soil covered, moist and create habitat for fungi and worms. It changed a really poor soil in my front yard that could barely grow weeds to a beautiful black soil full of microbial life.

While this seems to be true, it also seems like fungal decomposition of residue helps the soil become more fungal dominated overall, which helps mycorrhiza do it's thing. See here for more info on that. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-9Djf9eie97k.html and ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-48eZmJTDww8.html

phew so we just have to grow plants then

Varun Soni only a fertilizer.

IMHO, "mature" means full senescence. Or when a grass plant looks dead, as in when wheat or oats are ready to harvest.

If they are dry and old, they will feed fungi. If they were a living, growing tree yesterday, bacterial.

They don't "release" it back as a waste product after digestion, like bacteria do. They release it back upon their death as the mushrooms decompose.

Hi Paarv, Rejuvenate is a liquid mineral amendment product manufactured and sold by AEA. You can find more information about Rejuvenate here: www.advancingecoag.com/store/Rejuvenate™-c20204171

"Healthy" crops will produce more energy, and will have a higher fat content for fungal digestion and stable humic compounds.

High lipid levels or more important for building stable humic substances than sugars. Lipid levels increase when plants are very efficient with photosynthesis.

The bacteria will thrive on the sugars and nitrogen in the green sorghum before the dry cellulose can be digested by fungi.

@@clarencecrowcarter What about other fungi? en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yeast They digest simple sugars and nitrogen. Biomass from sorghum can be transform only by fungi. You can add EMI (effective microorganisms) or other bacterias (LB), yeast culture to green manure to make humic acids. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Humic_substance "Straw produces stronger bricks that are less likely to break or lose their shape. Modern investigations have found that humic acid is released from straw when mixed with mud". What strains you have in mud? You can treat field like petri dish. Your soil correlate to strains of microorganisms you have. Do you know what microbiome is? Every animal have different bacterias. But you can kill some of them and kill this animal. www.google.com/search?client=firefox-b-d&q=glyphosate+bee+microbiome You reap what you sow. ru-vid.com?search_query=mycelium+transfer This organism en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lumbricidae can transfer any green manure into soil. They also eat yeasts. Because they have proper strains www.nature.com/articles/s41598-018-25081-9 Diversity, structure and sources of bacterial communities in earthworm cocoons Every structure can be like "petri dish". You don't have because you don't have.

Hi Chinmai Hemani, thank you for a great question. Rejuvenate is a product that ensures a successful inoculation event, feeding microbes in all manner of conditions. At AEA, we often use Rejuvenate in combination with our products SeaShield and Spectrum as part of our Regenerative Soil Primer. You can find out more here: www.advancingecoag.com/fall-regenerative-soil-primer - The AEA Team

Just grow peas, I doubt you're growing carbon-rich corn on the same scale. Not all crops have the same C:N ratio.

We can help nature along and support and enhance natural process so that soils are regenerated very quickly. With the right management, and support with the right products, soils can regenerate in years what would take centuries if left alone.

+Beaman Surchit It's a fungal stimulant. He stated that in the video.

+Kreepinhedfuk Chemical stimulant or organic?

+Beaman Surchit AEA don't use Chemicals...that's the point! It's all 100% organic, natural, as nature intended. If you are unfamiliar with John Kempf & the work of AEA, i suggest you do some research. It's gonna change farming to what it always should've been - medicinal quality food, abundance & sustainability.

+Kreepinhedfuk Sounds good. Why is he using GMO corn as the example?

+Beaman Surchit The GMO corn wasn't the example...that belonged to the farmer client of john's who is undergoing the experiment/switch to organic, regenerative soil amendments. The fact that gmo corn was used was irrelevant to what john was demonstrating...

Unfortunately, there are not good broad spectrum fungal inoculants available commercially that you can add. You need to develop fungal populations by managing the type of feed stocks you provide. Do you have something you are trying to sell?

only that i am so fed up with this talk about humus, and no one says how to make it......it may be a breakdown product of the process used to isolate it....thats all...

maybe there is a way to breed fungi with oils that would build good soil

high omega crops, like chickweed!

How to make humus: grow abundantly healthy crops and cover crops that are high in oil content. Done.

oh so they sell rejuvenate?

Are you kidding? It takes wisdom to understand what he says. Saying that John kempf is only here to sell products shows that you don't even understand a wee bit out of the video. Maybe come back another time.
