Pro-Act Microbial assists with nutrient management

Our microbes are earth and vegetable based; they  are the same microbes that digest nutrients in the soil. Anaerobic  gases and solids coming from the bottom are converted to proteins  and amino acids, fixing the nitrogen. The TKN reading should actually  go up a little. Our microbes do not change the amount of nutrients in the manure, but they do change the form. They turn your manure  into a gentle, time-released fertilizer. They also allow for stratification of the nutrients; since agitation is not needed in lagoons, settled  phosphorus can remain at the bottom until pumped.

Transportation & application

Many farmers have more manure than land available for application. This problem has been magnified with the arrival of phosphorus-based nutrient management regulations. Our microbial system reduces solids and viscosity, allowing much of the phosphorus and nitrogen to settle to the bottom. The top water is low in nutrients and can be applied, even on growing crops, to allow the level of the lagoon to be lowered throughout the season. Because agitation is not needed, the bottom water can be pumped out and taken to more distant fields.  This flexibility, provided by stratification, is priceless when trying to comply with all the regulations.
