About this title

Synopsis

"Adding Biology for Soil and Hydroponic Systems" by Elaine R. Ingham, Ph.D., and Carole Ann Rollins (doctoral student) focuses on adding biology derived from high-quality actively aerated compost tea solutions to plant systems. Elaine Ingham is president of Soil Foodweb Inc. and the Sustainable Studies Institute in Corvallis, Ore. Carole Ann Rollins is completing her doctorate in environmental policy and management at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas. Science is only beginning to understand the microscopic communities of plants and animals providing nutrient cycling, plant protection and plant growth mechanisms. The authors use non-technical language to describe the basic biology and chemistry of nutrient-cycling and plant-growing environments. They also include simple explanations about how to add biology to any plant-growing system and guidelines for conventional, sustainable and organic applications. Whether you're growing indoors in controlled environments and soilless media or outdoors in soil, this book helps you figure out methods for incorporating biology into your programs.
