Residue Management - PhycoTerra®

Residue Management

Break down your residue. Build up your soil.

Crop residue is either a challenge or an opportunity. Left unmanaged, it can delay planting, harbor pathogens and interfere with equipment. But, when crop residue is broken down, it becomes a valuable source of organic matter, nutrients and microbial energy.

PhycoTerra® Soil Amendment supports accelerated residue breakdown by activating the soil microbiome – particularly the fungi and bacteria responsible for decomposing plant material. The result is faster residue decomposition, better nutrient availability, improved soil structure and better field conditions for the next crop.

About PhycoTerra Residue Management

Residue from corn, wheat and other crops can linger in the field, slowing spring operations and tying up nutrients. PhycoTerra Soil Amendment delivers a superior carbon food source to the native soil microbes that break down residue – amplifying their activity and speeding up decomposition.

The more active the biology, the faster the residue breaks down and the sooner you can plant. This approach improves nutrient cycling, increases organic matter and promotes long-term soil health.
