Hi Everyone,

Welcome back to episode 2 of series 3 of the “How To Do It “video series.

This week, I will share something really special.

Imagine an organism that  can solubilise silica, release locked up phosphorus, protect from multiple diseases, control root knot nematodes, build stress resistance, detox your soil, and protect your crop from frost damage. It sounds a little too good to be true. However, there are multiple studies confirming the diverse ecosystem roles of a critically  important organism called pseudomonas fluorescens.

We have often wondered why organic soils typically contain at least twice the levels of plant available silica, compared to conventionally farmed soils. Then we realised the likely culprit. Glyphosate kills pseudomonas fluorescens on contact. In fact, Monsanto, in recognition of this problem, tried to introduce a GM version of this organism, that didn’t die from their herbicide. However, they were not allowed to release it into the environment.

What has this to do with plant available silica, I sense you thinking? Well, pseudomonas fluorescens  has recently been identified as a major player in solubilising silica into the plant available form. There are a group of organisms that have been identified as Silica Solubilising Bacteria (SSB) and pseudomonas fluorescens  is the most active and efficient of these.

How can a bacteria offer frost protection might be your second burning question?  Frost crystals are created by ice nucleating bacteria that dwell upon every leaf surface. Pseudomonas fluorescens can kill these bacteria and hence offer protection from frost.

The good news is that these multi-function marvels can be multiplied on a farm, and in this video, you will discover exactly how to do this.

Wishing you all a wonderful Easter and a happy fulfilling Nutrition Farming Journey!

Warm regards,

Certificate in Nutrition Farming

Our next iconic, five-day Certificate in Nutrition Farming® course is scheduled for July, Monday 21st - Friday 25th July 2025.

Our last course was attended by growers and consultants from six countries. It was a wonderful learning opportunity where attendees enjoyed a wealth of education and inspiration from both our presenters and their fellow attendees. We only accept 40 bookings for these courses, so please register if you would like to attend.
