“Super soil study to increase fruit yields”
just reading “Good Fruit and Vegetables” March edition p. 23 where there is an article about Dr. Bruce Cockroft who is leading research on 8 top orchards in order to increase yields by up to a 150% while reducing water usage.
Dr. Cockroft says that “increased biological activity is critical as it increases plant roots (and) water absorption” One of the trial farmers can see that increased biological activity means that his soils are less compacted (and) water absorption levels are greater.
In other words, follow practices that are an aid to help develop better soil biology.
