CHANDLER
SOIL

A soil conditioner designed to improve soil fertility and tilth.

What is Chandler Soil?

Chandler Soil is a liquid biological soil conditioner applied directly to the soil to improve soil fertility and tilth.

What does it do?

Chandler Soil stimulates the growth and metabolism of beneficial soil microorganisms, including nitrogen-fixing bacteria, phosphate solubilizing bacteria, and decomposers. Chandler Soil contains micronutrients and naturally-occurring organic compounds (enzymes, hydrolyzed proteins, and amino acids) to support the beneficial activities of these microorganisms.

How do you apply Chandler Soil?

Chandler Soil may be may be broadcast or band sprayed with conventional farm or commercial spraying equipment, or incorporated in the seed row by the planter. Incorporation of the product is recommended but not required, so Chandler Soil may be applied to hay fields, pastures, and no-till cropland. Chandler Soil is compatible with Chandler Biocat 1000 and most herbicides, pesticides, and fertilizers and can be applied in a tank-mix with these products. Biocat 1000 is also non-toxic and does not require special equipment or handling.

What is the recommended application rate?

We recommend you use 8 ounces of Chandler Soil per acre, so one gallon or product treats roughly 16 acres. In fields with poor drainage, heavy compaction, or other extreme soil conditions, you should increase the application rate to 10-12 ounces per acre.

What benefits can I expected from improved soil tilth?

• Improved soil structure and fertility --- Chandler Soil promotes soil fertility by enhancing the activity of beneficial soil microorganisms such as bacteria and fungi. For example, soil bacteria convert soil nutrients to forms readily used by the plant, and soil fungi play an important role in the conversion of decayed plant material to humus. Clear evidence of this biological activity is shown in these pictures of mushrooms in a corn field provided by one of our users in Eastern Iowa.
• Reduced soil erosion --- as micro organic activity increases, soil becomes more porous. Chandler Soil enhances air and water infiltration and works to reduce soil compaction by supporting the growth of beneficial soil microorganisms.
• Less chemical carryover --- pesticide residue in the soil can deter growth of the next crop. Chandler Soil promotes the growth of beneficial soil bacteria that degrade or break-down potentially harmful chemical residues.
• Fuel savings --- many Chandler Soil users report that their soil works easier, especially after the second year of use. By saving time and fuel, you can farm the same acres faster and cheaper.
