🌱 Welcome to the 6th Annual SoilCraft Conference! 🌍
Dive into a powerful session from our in-person gathering, where regenerative agriculture and human health intersect. In this transformative presentation, we explore the invisible yet essential force driving plant vitality: electrical conductivity (EC).
🎤 Featuring: Dr. Tom Dykstra — an entomologist and scientist passionate about uncovering the deeper bioelectrical processes that govern plant health and soil vitality.
🔬 What You'll Learn in This Session:
* What tip burn on leaves really means 🌿
* How electrical point discharge explains mysterious plant symptoms
* Why drought is often a symptom, not the root cause
* The shocking relationship between salinity, EC, and crop loss ⚡
* Practical tools to measure EC in-field (including short- and long-probe meters)
* The role of boron as the plant's sugar elevator 🍬
* Why your soil compacts—and how microbes prevent it
* Weed indicators: What kochia and foxtail reveal about your EC levels
* How cactus spines and serrated leaves reveal the story of soil stress
📉 Real-world data and stories:
Dr. Dykstra walks you through field observations in Miami and across citrus groves, showing how soil EC affects not just growth, but also nutrient uptake, microbial health, and even insect interactions. Discover how common weeds and wild plants morphologically adapt to extreme conditions—and what that means for your crops.
🧪 Scientific Takeaways:
* High EC = disrupted nutrient transport, stunted growth, and leaf burn
* Low microbial activity = runaway EC + poor soil structure
* Overuse of pesticides, fungicides, and herbicides devastates soil microbiomes
* Cycling insecticides can wipe out your beneficial microbes over time
💡 Key Insight:
Plants don't just suffer from salt—they signal it. Understanding EC gives you the diagnostic key to unlock deeper regenerative management.
👩🌾 Who This is For:
* Regenerative growers 🐄🌾
* Soil health professionals 🧫
* Gardeners & orchardists 🍎
* Ag educators and consultants 👨🏫
