Microbes
- Fungi - A diverse and dense fungal population is crucial for organic matter decomposition, aeration and building of crumb structure (macro aggregates) in the soil.
- Bacteria - An excessive concentration of bacteria increase the micro aggregates within the soil profile, increasing anaerobic conditions, creating an ideal environment for weeds.
- Nematodes - Are crucial for cycling plant available nutrients and maintaining microbial balance between fungi and bacteria.
- Protozoa - Are required to digest bacteria while releasing plant available nutrients and digested atmospheric nitrogen to the plant’s rhizosphere.
