TerraMend Agricultural

#allnatural

BEST TM Agricultural (Terra Mend) is an all-natural and organically certified liquid biostimulant developed to achieve Complete Soil Balance by addressing the chemical, biological, and physical aspects of soil health. Formulated using advanced cold burst technology, it contains over 50 plant extracts, arcadian seaweed, molasses, and fish meal, which work together to stimulate dormant soil microbiology.

Designed for broadacre cropping, pastures, and horticulture, TM Ag not only enhances microbial interactions and nutrient cycling but also actively fixes soil physical structure. It improves soil softness, water retention, porosity, and aeration, leading to better moisture absorption and percolation. This restoration process creates healthier soils that are more nutrient-rich and productive. TM Ag is also tank mixable, easily integrating into existing farming practices.

100% Guarantee All-Natural and Organic Certified

How Does TM AG Work?

1. Cold Burst Extraction Technology: TM AG is formulated using cold burst technology, which extracts exudates from over 50 plant species at various stages of growth and flowering cycles. This method preserves the integrity of bioactive compounds, creating a highly concentrated mixture of plant-derived exudates, including phytohormones, amino acids, enzymes, and organic acids.

2. Super-Concentration Process: The extracted exudates are fermented for 42 days to create a super-concentrated solution. This fermentation enhances the bioavailability of active compounds, increasing their potency and stability for soil and plant application.

3. Microbial Activation: When applied to soil, TM AG reactivates dormant microbial populations by providing a rich source of carbon and signaling molecules. The plant exudates mimic natural plant signaling pathways, which help to stimulate the communication between plants and soil microbiota, particularly bacteria and fungi.

4. Sequencing of Bacterial Colonization: The diversity of plant extracts in TM AG triggers a succession of microbial colonization, which is crucial for soil restoration. The exudates signal to specific groups of microbes that they need to support various plant needs, such as nutrient cycling, nitrogen fixation, and decomposition of organic matter.

5. Enhancement of Nutrient Cycling: TM AG facilitates the breakdown of complex organic materials and minerals through microbial activity. It supports microbial processes like mineral weathering and decomposition, which convert nutrients into bioavailable forms (e.g., nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium) for plant uptake. This improves nutrient use efficiency, reducing the need for synthetic fertilizers.

6. Nitrogen Fixation and Reduction of Leaching: TM AG promotes the proliferation of nitrogen-fixing bacteria in the rhizosphere, which aids in converting atmospheric nitrogen (N₂) into forms usable by plants. It also helps to stabilize soil pH, reducing the leaching of nitrates and other nutrients, thus preserving soil fertility over time.

7. Improvement of Soil Physical Structure: The microbial activity stimulated by TM AG enhances soil aggregation, creating a more stable soil structure. This process improves soil porosity, leading to better aeration and water infiltration, while reducing compaction. The improved soil structure increases the soil’s capacity to retain moisture, making it more resilient to drought conditions.

8. Enhanced Organic Matter Decomposition: TM AG accelerates the decomposition of organic matter in the soil, speeding up the release of nutrients stored in plant residues. This process contributes to the build-up of organic matter and humus, which is essential for long-term soil fertility and carbon sequestration.

9. Root-Soil Interactions: The plant-derived exudates in TM AG create a favorable environment for root-microbe interactions, improving root development and root exudation. This increases the rhizosphere’s microbial diversity, leading to better nutrient exchange between soil and roots.

10. Compatibility with Farm Programs: TM AG is a liquid product that is tank-mixable with most agricultural chemicals, including herbicides, pesticides, and other fertilizers. This allows for seamless integration into existing crop management programs without the need for additional application equipment.

11. Carbon Cycling and Soil Restoration: By facilitating the exchange of carbon compounds between plants and microbes, TM AG promotes a healthy carbon cycle within the soil. The microbial activity helps convert carbon fixed by plants into forms that support microbial metabolism, while plants receive essential nutrients in return. This creates a balanced, regenerative soil ecosystem that enhances overall soil health.

BENEFITS in a farming system

For Soil

Activates beneficial microbes and boosts microbial diversity, creating a thriving soil ecosystem. This balanced environment ensures optimal chemical, biological, and physical soil conditions, reducing the need for synthetic fertilizers.

Increases organic matter and organic carbon, which improve soil structure, nutrient storage, and water-holding capacity. This creates a fertile environment, enhances nutrient cycling, and supports long-term soil productivity and resilience.

Enhances root growth by improving soil aeration, allowing roots to penetrate more deeply and access nutrients and water.

Encourages microbial activity that breaks down organic matter, preventing soil compaction and making the soil more friable.

Strengthens soil structure, making it more resistant to erosion and maintaining long-term soil stability.

Promotes microbial activity that helps maintain an optimal pH level, creating the right environment for plant growth.

Improves water-holding capacity, reducing irrigation requirements and helping plants endure periods of drought.

Enhances soil porosity, preventing water from pooling around roots and ensuring healthy root systems.

Converts locked-up nutrients in the soil into plant-available forms, ensuring that plants get the nutrients they need.

Improves soil electrical conductivity (EC) and cation exchange capacity (CEC), facilitating better nutrient uptake by plants.

For Crops

Promotes robust root development, enhancing nutrient and water absorption.

Improves root nodulation, leading to better nitrogen fixation and higher soil fertility.

Increases grain and fruit quality by reducing screenings and boosting protein content, resulting in higher market value.

Raises sugar content in plants, reducing susceptibility to pests and diseases while improving taste.

Increases the overall nutritional profile of crops, making produce richer in essential nutrients.

Speeds up the decomposition of plant residues, recycling nutrients back into the soil faster.

Stimulates branching and biomass production, leading to greater crop yields.

Promotes extended flowering periods, boosting yield potential.

Improves plants’ ability to withstand environmental stressors like drought, salinity, and diseases.

Enhances the plant’s ability to utilize available water, reducing water stress and supporting growth even in challenging conditions.
