Thank you for this valuable information. We here in India, treat the seeds with microbial culture (cow dung+urine+sugar cane juice) and you see best germination and later as the crop grows, we introduce these culture to the soil and in most time you get better output, healthy and decease free veges r seeds. I use to wonder how come?? Any magic, so here comes the science. I think it's just the starting point. And every crop has different microbe signature, so yet to discover.... So far our culture is helping us out to get best veges...
I’ve seen several presentations on this topic and this is the best one I’ve encountered in terms of detail. I found the circulation of the microbes in the root hairs prior to expulsion interesting and it makes me wonder about the possible mechanism with EZ water coming into play?
Olá, pessoal! Estou lendo os materiais e assistindo as palestras. É realmente muito interessante ver uma revolução na microbiologia. O conceito de ryzhofagia acho que ainda nem foi traduzido para o português. Essa percepção de que as plantas estão cultivando um microbioma para se alimentarem é fascinante. As plantas deixam de ser os produtores nas cadeias tróficas e se tornam os consumidores primários do microbioma. Que fascinante!
This makes me wonder if this information could assist in the regeneration of dirt used in conventional farming.. of course the process would need to be multi-teired but the info here seems to show that bio-stimulants could help support the first crops used and maybe boost the results??
Listening to this reminds me of how gall gnats lay their eggs and inject hormones to use the plant body's stem cells to form it's own egg nest. Sounds like a similar archetype
The coating on a hemp seed easily rubs off. I now realize that it may be the seeds own microbial innoculant. I used to think it was camouflage to keep the birds from seeing the seeds and eating them. Now I think it may be both.
Great lecture thank you for what you are doing. Just an idea for how does bacteria goes in the roots: Probably somehow bacteria goes in by themselves while feeding. Just going in to the food source through where food comes out!
You are my hero Mr. White and team! Will you be my adviser? I was an archaeolgoist/paleoantho and so wondering if there is any relation to Tim........ I bet not. You rock and thank you so much!
Plants hunt the products of soil life expression and incorporate DNA that is not exclusive to that taxon..... not interested in elucidating - just pushin' it out. Thank you so much Dr. White!
This just shows how ridiculous any attempt to make grow plants in a "clean" way - such as hydrophonics or vertical gardening. You need the "dirt", you need the soil, you need the whole ecosystem so that it all works the best...
