Increase Roots and Yield Without Changing Practices

Plants are made up of 30% roots; 40% stems and 30% grain. So, grain yield equals the weight of roots added to soil each season.

 

Roots grow faster and larger in loose, well-aerated soil with a good water supply.

 

A Deep Seedbed Conditioner machine stimulates >30% increase in roots and increases grain yields by ~ 25% !!. It creates seedbeds that are more productive and drought and waterlog resilient without extra operations.

 

DSC practice “farms” plant roots and the soil biology that surround roots.

Root mass was > 30% larger in DBC™ than NT. Data from 9 seasons of irrigated wheat and maize crops. Greater than 90% of this increase was in the 50-300 mm depth.

Comparative root growth of an oats crop: NT on the left; DSC™ on the right.
