Organic Maintenance Program 1.Organic Program Goals 2.Overview of the Testing Program 3.Discussion

1.Organic Program Goals Test Numerous Varieties Learn Customer Expectations Application Feasibility Cost Differences Learn Soil Strategy Data Collection Create Full Program

Organic Maintenance – Why? Dead Zone!

Organic Maintenance – Why? We all downstream! We all live downstream!

2. Organic Testing Overview Customers, Area, & Managers

2. Organic Testing Overview Products & Application Rates

2. Organic Testing Overview Soil Food Web Testing Soil Food Web Test Example

2. Organic Testing Overview Soil Food Web Benefits Mycorrhizae Attacking and Eating a Parasitic Nematode! More Water & Nutrients Available to Plants Neutralize Toxins Protects Plant Health IPM Made Easier Soil Management = Soil Will Help Manage Plants Create Ecological Balance More Learning

2. Organic Testing Overview Data Collection For Education WE NEED MORE PICTURES!

2. Organic Testing Overview Logic of Soil Food Web & Cost Organic Management Strategy: –Inoculate for Soil Food Web –~ 50% more nutrients available to the plants –~ 50% lower application rates –~ 50% the cost –~ same cost as synthetics!

2. Organic Testing Overview Products Pricing per Test Application 10 lbs/1000 because of ~50% More Available Nutrients with Soil Food Web = $10/bag!

2. Organic Testing Overview Learning So Far: Successful transitions from synthetic Color holding strong during transition period Growth is steady Application uses ~ same equipment & labor Interest in green is growing with customers Bay Friendly Book – good for presenting, learning, educating, branding, marketing
