Carbon Aided™

Welcome to the Carbon-Aided™ field program. A program dedicated to restoration of soil and profitability for the farmer.

A brief history about Carbon-Aided™

For thousands of years farmers all over the world have done an excellent job managing soils and growing food for the nations. It has always been a challenge to maintain good soil structure and at the same time be profitable. Farmers understand that carbon, organic matter, aeration and water holding capacity are critical in good farming practices. Over the last few decades it has been more and more difficult to maintain organic matter in our soils because of the high use of sodium and petroleum based products and the demands for higher and higher yields. All these practices have been necessary to feed a hungry world and to meet the demand to grow crops as efficiently as possible. Many of our modern day practices have had an impact on the natural life cycle of soil.


Simplified soil life cycle.

All life has a cycle including our soil; the soil life cycle is one of the most complex cycles on planet Earth. It takes trillions of soil organisms to make our soils fully functional. Included in this array of organisms are algae, bacteria, fungi, and actiomycetes. Disruption in the cycle of any of these organisms will change the structure and the long range manageability of soil. Synthetic chemicals have certainly made an impact on the life cycle of soil organisms.
Let's walk through a very simple life cycle of a living plant. During a plant’s life, as it grows and matures it exchanges carbon dioxide (CO2) into oxygen (O2) with the help of photon energy (sunlight) and water. As the plant matures it turns some of the photon energy into starches and sugars. As the plant matures and comes to the end of its life the energy it captured during its life is converted. At this point the now dead plant needs to be broken down and the soil organisms go to work, this is the beginning of the composting cycle. Tonnes of once living plant material are broken down into grams of organic matter. The energy collected in the living plant needs to be converted from a starch to a form of energy that is usable by the next generation of plants. This is where the organism comes into play. The question that naturally comes up is simple. What happens if the soil lacks the organisms to convert plant debris into organic matter? The answer seems simple we need more artificial nutrients to make up for the lack of organic matter. Or do we...


Why Carbon-Aided?

In modern agriculture it is extremely difficult to grow the high yields without the assistance of commercial fertilizer. But is it possible to make better use of both naturally occuring soil nutrients and fertilizer? The answer is yes! The Carbon-Aided program is the missing link. By adding our carbon products like Humika™ and Plant XL™ to your existing programs you can expect greater returns on your nutrient program. The simple reason is that the carbon element in these products stimulates the growth of soil organisms thus stimulating organic matter to become nutrients. A second reason for the use of our carbon products is that they act as a natural chelator for commercial fertilizer. The Carbon-Aided™ program stimulates the natural cycle with great yield responses.
