Our flagship products contain large amounts of labile carbondigestible carbon
This form of carbon serves as an immediate energy source for native soil microbial populations, accelerating biological processes in the soil food web that drive nutrient cycling, soil fertility, and overall soil health.
Unlike stable carbon forms which take years to break down, labile carbon is rapidly metabolized by microbial communities, creating short-term bursts of biological activity that enhance nutrient availability for plants.
Labile carbon is found naturally in things like decaying crop residues and manure, but PrairieFood accelerates the decomposition process for faster and better results — it’s a burst of energy for soil microbes.
PrairieFood supplies a concentrated form of carbon — an immediate energy source for soil microbes – which stimulates microbial activity, enabling faster decomposition of organic residues such as crop stubble, manure, and plant materials.
This process transforms organic matter into simpler compounds that are essential for nutrient release and soil structure improvement.
Our product acts as a catalyst for microbial growth, particularly for organisms responsible for nutrient cycling. As microbes decompose organic matter, they release key nutrients like nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium into bioavailable forms that plants can readily absorb.
This creates a continuous supply of nutrients, reducing the need for synthetic fertilizers and enhancing nutrient efficiency.
The high levels of volatile fatty acids and amino acids in PrairieFood improve the efficiency and speed of crop residue decomposition, resulting in better integration into the soil as organic matter.
This process enhances SOM levels, improving soil structure, water retention, and nutrient-holding capacity.
Nutrient cycling is the process by which nutrients are released, transformed, and made available to plants. PrairieFood’s stimulant facilitates this by stimulating the microbial enzymes that release vital nutrients. The stimulant also supports beneficial microbes, like mycorrhizal fungi, which help transport nutrients directly to plant roots.
Faster nutrient cycling leads to improved plant growth, better yields, and healthier crops, all while reducing nutrient losses through leaching or volatilization.
By stimulating microbial activity, PrairieFood indirectly improves soil structure. Microbial byproducts help bind soil particles together, forming aggregates that improve porosity and aeration. This supports better root growth and water infiltration, which are essential for nutrient uptake.
Healthy soil structure enhances the efficiency of nutrient cycling and plant access to essential nutrients.
With its ability to accelerate decomposition and nutrient cycling, PrairieFood’s stimulant reduces the need for synthetic fertilizers. This not only saves costs for farmers, but also minimizes the environmental impact associated with fertilizer runoff and nitrate leaching.
Sustainable nutrient management supports regenerative agriculture, improves soil health, and mitigates water contamination issues.
Our fertility products are derived from readily available biomass waste sources.
Understanding this microbial hierarchy helps farmers and agronomists make informed decisions on soil amendments, crop rotations, and biological inputs.
SLURRY excels in delivering higher mass, SCFAs, macro- and micronutrients for long-term soil building and fertility restoration.
NITRO provides greater total nitrogen, digestible carbon, and amino acids per unit of solids for rapid biological ignition and flexible, modern application.
“There's no reason not to try some PrairieFood. Everyone should try some and if it works for them the way it worked for me they’ll buy more.”
“The PrairieFood definitely unlocked something in my soil. We believe the short chain carbons were able to feed and bring back some of our dormant native biology. I’m looking forward to applying it on more acres this year.”
The analysis revealed a 12.5% increase in the total bacterial community population.
