Agriox is a soil oxygen product which is time released, boasting valuable nutrients that promote overall soil health and remarkable productivity in an environmentally friendly way. Working with the solubility of oxygen, Agriox’s release of oxygen is based on ph of a soil (water) and soil temperature.
Agriox’s soil oxygen process is essential to plant roots for water and nutrient absorption during photosynthesis. During this stage plants are metabolizing macro and micronutrients, as well as enzymes, hormones, organic acids, and other beneficial components that fuel growth. Plant friendly microbes require a constant supply of oxygen in order to survive. Without a good supply of oxygen, anaerobic microbes explode in population, thus leading to a host of problems including nutrient deficiencies and root disease secondary to the release of hydrogen sulfide (toxic to roots, foul odor).
Agriox is indispensable when growing high-performance turf because of its unique slow release oxygen technology. This continuous supply of oxygen is essential in plant production. More importantly, Agriox will break down more rapidly with increased temperatures and decreased pH (found in black layer and heavy organic soils), making it an ideal product for turf producers, arming them with “response aeration” when needed the most.
Coupled with its unique slow release oxygen process, Agriox increases buffering capacity, thus reducing the effects of nutrient toxicity. In heavily laden organic soils, Agriox can provide a source of oxygen and improve hydraulic conductivity, permitting more efficient movement of nutrients, water and oxygen through the soil. The Agriox treated soils show increased total microbial populations and species diversity. Increasing species diversity suggests the ability to degrade a wider range of chemical contaminants that are found in the soil profile. This in itself helps our environment…What to expect from Agriox in soils:
Agriox in SOIL A new approach
