In World War II the world of agriculture has been changed by the introduction of toxic synthetic fertilizers and pesticides. The proliferation of these man-made chemicals temporarily increased the yield of many food crops and ornamentals, but it also increased the long-term cost of production, caused pollution of our air and drinking water, changed the soil structure, accelerated erosion, and jarred the entire ecosystem. The reasons for the continued use of chemical products include a lack of understanding of how Microorganism techniques work and the fear that, if chemicals are discontinued, plants won't grow well and will be devoured by insects and disease. Many farmers simply don't know that Microorganism products work effectively economically and are easy and enjoyable to use. On the other hand, most farmers and produce consumers don't realize how dangerous and damaging harsh pesticides and Chemical fertilizers are, not only to themselves, but to the health of the planet.  

Most chemical fertilizers are merely soluble salt compounds, usually found in granulated form. Since the crops will not absorb large quantities of salt, continued use of salt-based fertilizers can lead to loss of plant quality, loss of productivity and poisoning of the plants. These fertilizers simply feed crops too fast with an incomplete diet. High levels of nitrates, which are created by synthetic nitrogen fertilizers, are carcinogenic and frequently show up in our drinking water. Because of the overuse of high nitrogen fertilizers and the plant's inability to use large amounts of nitrogen, the excess is simply leached or washed away and ultimately ends up in our streams, lakes, aquifers, and our bodies. For years the soil has been abused. Man has for so long taken from the land without giving back that the soil in much of the world has died and become desert where it was once thriving and productive. We have to change the way we farm and reverse the chemical addiction of the soil with soil and crop management products such as BIO1ONE.
