Episode 5: Microbiome At Work
Ever wonder what drives crop yields? It’s the soil microbiome! This episode of The Back Forty Breakdown explores how Soileos fuels your soil’s microbial engine for efficient nutrient delivery, leading to strong roots and high yields. Subscribe to learn how to unlock your soil’s potential
Episode 6: Seeing IDC?
Seeing yellow leaves with green veins in your pulse crops? This episode dives into Iron Deficiency Chlorosis (IDC). Learn how Soileos Iron provides essential iron for lush growth, faster emergence, and stronger yields in challenging high-pH soils.
Episode 7: Fueling Growth Spurts
Want to see faster, more consistent crop growth? This episode explores how Soileos delivers nutrients gradually, avoiding the boom-and-bust cycle of some fertilizers, leading to stronger roots and better yields.
Episode 8: Soileos is Canadian
This episode highlights Soileos, an innovative granular micronutrient fertilizer proudly made in Canada (Saskatchewan). It uses a unique bio-activated, slow-release technology that works with the soil microbiome to ensure consistent availability of essential micronutrients, like zinc and iron. This leads to faster emergence, stronger roots, and vigorous plant growth for higher yields and a strong ROI for Canadian growers.
Episode 9: Soileos Works Differently
Discover how Soileos’ bio-activated nutrient release gives crops the edge over traditional fertilizers. In this episode of The Back Forty Broadcast, Nia and Dan break down the science behind better soil health, stronger roots, and a more resilient return on investment. It’s a fresh take on feeding your crops—and your bottom line. #WatchItGrow
Episode 10: Watch it Work
Traditional fertilizers can fall short when it comes to consistency. This episode breaks down how Soileos’ bio-activated technology keeps nutrients plant-available all season long—fueling faster emergence, stronger roots, and resilient growth.
We explore how it supports the soil microbiome, improves nutrient cycling, and delivers a stronger ROI by working with the soil, not against it.
BONUS EPISODE: Soil Analysis – Hot Take
Soil tests aren’t just about N-P-K anymore. In this”hot take” episode, Nia and Dan break down the most impactful insights from our recent Ask the Expert webinar with Greg Patterson, President and Chief Agronomist at A&L Canada Laboratories.
From unlocking hidden yield potential to avoiding nutrient antagonism, Greg dropped science-backed gems that every grower and agronomist should hear. We’re diving into:
- Why micronutrients matter more than you think
- How to go beyond basic soil tests using CEC, base saturation & nutrient ratios
- What “balanced nutrition” really looks like in the field
- Why Soileos is a precision tool for modern soil challenges
