SoilX66 has improved yield and plant stand in corn, barley and winter wheat on commercial and University farms. That's the bottom line and there are good reasons to believe it will work because its effects are grounded in scientific principles. SoilX66 flocculates and aggregates clay particles creating a crumb structure where seedlings can emerge more easily and grow successfully, rewarding you with higher yields. The improved soil structure allows water to permeate the soi

Understanding Soil Amendments Soil amendments play a crucial role in enhancing soil health and crop productivity. They should be compatible with the existing soil microflora and degrade under moderate temperature and moisture conditions. This compatibility ensures that the beneficial bacteria in the soil thrive, leading to improved nutrient availability for crops. The Benefits of SoilX66 Biodegradation studies reveal that SoilX66 is biodegradable in the presence of common soi

Stable aggregates help maintain open pore spaces, allowing air, water, and young roots to develop. They provide a more consistent physical environment during those first weeks after planting — when emergence and early root initiation begins. SoilX66 is being used by growers as part of an approach to increase soil aggregate stability and yield. Aggregate formation can be seen in minutes, as shown in these photographs of a high pH (8.0) sodic soil in Yuma, Arizona. We strive fo

Permeability, the process through which water flows through soil while maintaining moisture in the micropores, is improved using SoilX66. Permeable soils resist run-off and prevent agricultural chemicals from contaminating rivers, causing environmental damage. In the lab, permeability was measured by passing water through a column of the air-dried <0.25 mm fraction of a silt loam. The drained water was collected and measured for 30 minutes. SoilX66 more than doubled permeabil

The early life environment of a developing seedling is the center of our work at Water & Soil Conservation, LLC. It’s why we developed SoilX66 — a soil-structure tool growers are using as part of their approach to supporting a favorable physical environment around the seed during those first days in the soil. Friability affects how easily the seedling emerges and how much energy remains for root development. These conditions vary across short distances. Even when planting dep

We’re Water & Soil Conservation. We focus on the environment seedlings face in their first days of life in the soil. This can be a tough place for a vulnerable seedling. The first few days influence plant stand and early development. Our interest is in how the environment around the emerging seedling supports early establishment and root development — and how growers can work to improve it. That focus led to SoilX66 — a water-soluble, biodegradable treatment. Tested on wheat,
