Hi Everyone,

In this episode of the. “How to do it” series, you will discover how to multiply protozoa, to boost fertility and production.

Growers often miss protozoa when they commission a soil-life analysis. These organisms are largely impacted by farm chemicals and chlorine in town water, and their replacement can offer multiple benefits. 

These organisms are profoundly important nutrient recyclers. Their chief role is to maintain the balance of bacteria. For scale, a watermelon-sized protozoa would eat 10,000 pea-sized bacteria on a daily basis. The protozoa use the minerals they require from this feast and spit out those not needed for the plants to utilise. The most abundant of these recycled minerals is nitrogen, because bacteria contain much more nitrogen (5:1 C:N ratio) than protozoa require with their. 30:1 C:N ratio. This is seriously important nitrogen cycling, and if protozoa are missing, then the nitrogen remains in the bodies of bacteria (over 400 kgs of N per hectare) until they eventually die.

Protozoa are also the favourite food source for earthworms, and these marvellous creatures will increase in number if you can increase their food source with a protozoa brew.

Protozoa are also renowned as root zone architects. They release an auxin hormone that significantly increases root branching, particularly on grasses and cereals.

Sometimes, protozoa can be the missing microbial link in a fully functioning, fertile soil. Why not try this simple multiplication strategy to see if it applies to your soil?

Wishing you every success.

Warm regards,
