Improving Life using Effective Microorganisms®
If you raise your animals on a pasture or grow your own livestock food, Ag1000® can be used on all pasture and foraging crops. Ag1000® is a ready-to-use soil conditioner, comprised of Effective Microorganisms. Ag1000® increases nutrient cycling in your soil and helps improve drainage, aeration, moisture retention and soil structure. Overall this decreases fertilizer requirements while improving yield.
Because Ag1000® contains live microbials it also improves water permeability. The bugs go to work in the soil, increasing beneficial microorganisms and other organisms, this creates more pores for water and air. The increased permeability can decrease your water usage.
Ag1000® was applied to Jalapeno "Dulce" transplanted into winter ryegrass cover crop. 40 gallons per acre was applied throughout the growing season along with 16-8-4 fertilizer. No herbicides or pesticides were used in this trial.
The area struggles with very high salts in the soil from a large calcium deposit a few feet from the surface. Powdery mildew, phytopthora, and organic matter are also a common ailment for peppers.
Results were very positive in treated fields with yields 24% higher and organic matter increasing from 2.9% to 4%. Not shown here, nutrient availability was also increased when tissue samples were tested. Treated had significantly more nitrogen and phosphorus, indicating an increase in nutrient uptake.

For most pasture, we recommend anywhere between 15-60 gallons of Ag1000® per acre per year depending on how many cuts and your area. With continued use of Ag1000® you should get significantly more cuts.
5 Gallons per Acre per Cut
Foliar spray should be applied in the morning or evenings. Conventional farmers can use Ag1000® with most of their programs. Do not mix synthetic chemicals with the microbes in concentrated, non-diluted, form. Many pesticides, such as Round-Up are antibiotic in nature and kill all the microbes within seconds of mixing. Therefore, if pesticides are to be used, please wait at least 48 hours between applications of pesticide and Ag1000®.
