Can a thriving soil food web reduce pathogen outbreaks and improve soil fertility? Yes! Join Dr. Elaine Ingham, Dr. Mary Cole and Graham Lancaster to learn how. This powerhouse panel brings extensive knowledge and experience in soil biology and soil chemistry.
Dr. Mary Cole is a well-known academic, plant pathologist, and soil microbiologist. She is the Director & Principal Scientist of www.agpath.com.au. Watch Dr. Cole's presentation here: • Pathogenic Fungi & Pla...
Graham Lancaster is the founding director of the Environmental Analysis Laboratory (EAL) at Southern Cross University, Lismore, Northern New South Wales, Australia, and now the senior manager of commercial and research services. EAL has been supporting sustainable farming for over 30 years and promoting all forms of soil management using the principles of biological, organic, and regenerative farming.

Our host, Dr. Adrienne Godschalx studied chemical ecology at Portland State University and conducted her PhD research on nitrogen-fixing rhizobia. She pursued her research further as a postdoc at the University of Neuchâtel in Switzerland. When Adrienne started working as a Mentor for the Soil Food Web School, she was bewildered by the potency of the soil food web in plant health and plant-insect interactions. Adrienne is thrilled to have a tangible way to engage in symbiosis with the beautiful wild world. At the SRS22, Adrienne discusses "How Soil Food Webs Shape Plant-Insect Interactions," watch her presentation here: • How Soil Food Webs Sha...

The Soil Food Web School’s mission is to empower individuals and organizations to regenerate the soils in their communities. The Soil Food Web Approach can dramatically accelerate soil regeneration projects by focussing on the soil biome. This can boost the productivity of farms, provide super-nutritious foods, protect and purify waterways, and reduce the effects of Climate Change. No background in farming or biology is required for our Foundation Courses. Classes are online & self-paced, and students are supported by highly-trained Soil Food Web School mentors.
Over the last four decades, Dr. Elaine Ingham has advanced our knowledge of the Soil Food Web. An internationally-recognized leader in soil microbiology, Dr. Ingham has collaborated with other scientists and with farmers around the world to further our understanding of how soil organisms work together and with plants. Dr. Ingham is an author of the USDA's Soil Biology Primer and a founder of the Soil Food Web School.

The best thing for any kind of soil is to use structured water George.

[@williamgibson2760]

This is such an excellent overview with enough substance & background references. The Q&A session felt like you were all in same room and wonderfully complementary to & building off each other.

[@miguelangelgonzalez1831]

Thank you very much for your effort to teach us on the wonders of soil.

40:15 I've never come across any scientific literature supporting the assertion that high brix makes plants immune or directly affects insect herbivory and parasitism so I find this topic very interesting because it is talked about often. I agree with the idea that more photosynthate is almost always a good thing and that it powers primary and secondary metabolism but when I have looked for examples I mainly found studies like, "Leaf sap brix and leafhoppers in vineyards" from the Organic Farming Research Foundation in 1996 saying: "Results compiled during this rigorous two-year empirical study of eight San Joaquin Valley vineyards (including five organic operations) provide no consistent support for the alleged predictive Brix / leafhopper relationship as it has been widely promoted in recent years. In only two of the eight vineyard field sites were data patterns even moderately similar to those expected from the story. More importantly, data patterns for the other six vineyard sites were either in direct opposition or essentially neutral with respect to the alleged Brix / leafhopper relationship." I couldn't find any sources for this in the video Dr. Cole mentions but if anyone has some I would be interested to read them. 1:50:42 I am only familiar with literature showing a positive correlation between sugar content and aphid abundance. In my insect physiology courses I learned from researchers like Dr. Angela Douglas that aphids can sustain more than 30% brix according to research like "Honeydew sugars and osmoregulation in the pea aphid Acyrthosiphon pisum". I wonder what other factors influence this relationship to brix level. Thanks for investigating further!

Hoping to get the money to take the course someday. Would love to know more

Stay in touch and we will definitely keep you posted on future course discounts. In the meantime, perhaps you’d like to subscribe to our KZbin so you can continue to enjoy the free content we are producing! We also put out blogs and are working on a newsletter!

[@jazzzame1]

As a current student almost finished with the course, I can say it is definitely worth it! Dr. Elaine does a wonderful job teaching the material, there’s a tremendous amount of information, and I would say it is college level at less than half the price! I will be making a career out of it and feel well supported! Good luck!

[@miriamendres7415]

It was through Why insects do not (and cannot) attack healthy plants | Dr. Thomas Dykstra | Regenerative Ag which talked about Brix that lead me recently to the "Soil Food Web". Weekends are my time for watching KZbin. In small ways I am implementing bits into the garden where I am living. It is a rental, so I am limited. Will be implementing on the one acre in Central Queensland block that we own. Good to hear from, Graham Lancaster, as I grew up on the North Coast of NSW.

I'm just wondering how to do cover crops because if you chop them then they turn into putrifying anaerobic slime that you can't plant in, then what are you supposed to do???? Put the clippings in the compost pile? But the soil needs to be mulched by the clippings, right, but it turns bad and not good to plant seeds in? Confused. Put the clippings in the compost pile then cover the soil with compost as the mulch and plant the seeds in the compost?

[@randyschnebbe]

Is the yeoman plough different than a subsoiler ?

[@williamgibson2760]

Yes & no. It is a narrow shank that does minimal disturbance and can be used as deep as subsoiler. Fascinating history invented and widely used in Australia to help water retention in soil & distribution across a landscape.

According to transcript at 39:12, Dr Thomas “Desicca”. Could you please verify spelling? Cant find the KZbins referenced. Thanks!

What legislation is needed for healthy Soil in mane stream agriculture

[@crazypeaches1]

Tax breaks for farmers to sell their farm into small tracts less than 250 acres to beginning farmers. Help transfer land tax free to heirs who want to farm, beginning, or small farmers before the older farmer dies. The younger generations are more likely to change how land is farmed. Don't allow investors who have not previously farmed, don't currently farm, and won't farm to buy farm land. Helps keep farm land affordable for people who want to farm.

FYI: IF YOU LOOK IN THE "INTRODUCTION" (Page 13),OF A FANTASTIC BOOK TITLED "PLANTS OF THE CHICAGO REGION", (by SWINK & WILHELM),[4th EDITION, MORTON ARBORETUM, LISLE IL), THEY DESCRIBE AN ASSESMENT OF THE "FLORISTIC QUALITY INDEX = "I"", USED TO HELP DETERMINE THE " QUALITY" OF A "NATURAL AREA", BASED UPON THE = THE ("AVERAGE "COEFFICIENT OF CONSERVATISM "C") X [THE SQUARE ROOT OF THE NUMBER OF SPECIES (1/N^2)] FOUND IN A "TRANSECT" ON THE PROPERTY AREA UNDER CONSIDERATION. IS THERE A SIMILAR, SIMPLE, BUT "ACCURATE" FORMULA THAT CAN BE USED, TO HELP DETERMINE THE "SOIL QUALITY INDEX" FOR VARIOUS SOIL SAMPLES?!...

Does this biology help with freezing points as well? In other words, help plants and trees survive a few degrees less than without the biology.

Question: how do you manage slugs and snails?

[@isaac3509]

same concept of biodiversity, predators like larvae of Lampyridae. Use plants that repel them. Work with a healthy soil with microorganisms that kill them.
