Weed Suppression Using the Soil Food Web | Soil Food Web School

Today we'll look at creating weed suppression using the Soil Food Web approach! ✅Access dozens of FREE soil science videos here 👉 https://bit.ly/3rwVz3u and learn about courses in soil health here 👉 https://bit.ly/3vqGKk2 Yes, a balanced Soil Food Web really can suppress weeds! Plants typically called “weeds'' grow quickly, immediately produce seeds, then die after a very short life cycle. These weeds need nitrates to thrive. With a balanced Soil Food Web in place, nitrates are not readily available, so these types of weeds are suppressed. Most other plants need some nitrates, but they require a lot more of another form of nitrogen called ammonium. A fungal soil biome creates an environment of pH7 or above, where the bacteria that generate nitrates can’t operate. So, the preferred plants thrive on the abundant ammonium in the soil while the weeds dwindle.

The Soil Food Web Approach can dramatically accelerate soil regeneration projects by focussing on the soil biome. This can boost the productivity of farms, provide super-nutritious foods, protect and purify waterways, and reduce the effects of Climate Change. No background in farming or biology is required for our Foundation Courses. Classes are online & self-paced, and students are supported by highly-trained Soil Food Web School mentors. Over the last four decades, Dr. Elaine Ingham has advanced our knowledge of the Soil Food Web. An internationally-recognized leader in soil microbiology, Dr. Ingham has collaborated with other scientists and with farmers around the world to further our understanding of how soil organisms work together and with plants. Dr. Ingham is an author of the USDA's Soil Biology Primer and a founder of the Soil Food Web School. 00:00 Intro 00:30: Weed Suppression and the Soil Food Web 01:23 Outro #WeedSuppression #SoilFoodWeb #SoilFoodWebSchool
