Summary
Russell Hedrick of JRH Grain Farms, a leading voice in regenerative agriculture, has documented consistent, meaningful impacts and a clear Return on Investment (ROI) across his non-GMO corn and soybean acres over three years of using EnSoil Algae™. The product significantly enhanced soil health parameters, improved nutrient cycling, reduced disease pressure, and resulted in substantial gains in yield, seed quality, and crop maturity (dry-down).
-
Visual Observations
Corn:
- Darker green color
- Overall improved plant health
- Plant growth accelerated by 2-3 leaves within the first two weeks post-treatment.
- Ear weight was heavier, showing a 1-3 ounce increase in density.
Soybeans:- More retained pods per plant (ranging 5-8% more on 3’ row measurements)
- Minimal disease pressure (e.g., no noticeable frog eye leaf spot or rust)
- Excellent standability at harvest.
-
Measurable Improvements
- Nitrogen Fixation: Increased by 41.2% (from 31.1 to 43.9).
- Soil Organic Matter (OM): Increased by 13.2% (from 5.3% to 6.0%).
- Soil Respiration (CO2-C): Increased by 5.8% (from 124.9 to 132.2 ppm).
- Phosphorus Cycling: Increased by 8.0% (from 36.3 to 39.2).
- Soybean Seed Density: Showed a significant improvement, with treated seeds measuring 1359 seeds/lb compared to 2841 seeds/lb (normal fertility).
- Corn Yield Gain: An average increase of 12.5 bushels per acre (bpa) across the farm.
- Moisture Content: Treated fields showed a 2.1% lower moisture content at harvest (dry-down effect) compared to the farm average.
-
Profit Impact
EnSoil Algae™ delivered a profitable outcome based on yield in 90% of the treated fields, driven by an average 12.5 bpa corn yield gain, improved soybean seed density (1359 seeds/lb), and a significant 2.1% reduction in grain moisture at harvest.
"The ROI is there to use EnSoil Algae™ across all of our acres.”
2024 Hawaii Corn
University of Hawaii | Hawaii-Kai Honolulu & Walmanalo
Three Treatments on Sweet Corn:

How EnSoil Algae™ Works for You
EnSoil Algae™ is a liquid concentration of a living freshwater microalgae (Chlorella vulgaris). It works as a powerful bio-stimulant, stimulating natural processes in your soil to produce healthier, more nutrient-dense forage.
-
Stimulates Soil Microbes: Live algae cells attract and grow a diverse microbial community in the soil. These microbes increase nutrient cycling, making essential nutrients more available for plants to absorb.
-
Enhances Photosynthesis: Treated plants develop increased chlorophyll, allowing them to more efficiently use sunlight to create energy and store nutrients.
-
Boosts Stress Adaptation: EnSoil Algae™ helps plants better tolerate stress from drought, heat, and salinity, while also improving the soil's water-holding capacity.
