Here’s what an imbalanced soil microbiome might look like vs. a balanced soil microbiome.

Balanced microbiomes have healthy, abundant, diverse and active microbes throughout the soil.

Unfortunately, most farm soil is imbalanced. On average 75% of microbes in farm soil are dormant and need a nutrient-rich food source to wake them up and put them to work.

Which is why we created PhycoTerra® Soil Amendment. It feeds beneficial microbes to support soil, crops and yields.

Double, double, soil and stubble…

No eye of newt here—just a microalgae “brew” that feeds beneficial microbes so fields plant smoother and handle stress better.

Non-living, shelf-stable, and mix-friendly.

Because even the tiniest creatures deserve a treat this spooky season. 🎃

Happy Halloween!

While sometimes tillage may be an unavoidable solution for residue management, it’s important to know the impact it can have on your farm.

⏰ Mycorrhizae root colonization takes two to six weeks
⏰ A functional network takes shape after one growing season
⏰ A resilient web takes one to three years to develop

Each time the soil is disturbed, the clock starts over again. 😬

The good news: You don’t have to leave all your crop residue in your field.

👉👉 The better news: You also don’t have to disturb your soil to get rid of it.

Learn about this new, innovative practice to manage post-harvest residue.

Last week, the Heliae team attended the 19th Algae Biomass Summit hosted at Arizona State University!

We were proud to showcase our expertise in microalgae technology and highlight our PhycoTerra® line of microbial food products at our exhibitor booth. Our VP of Algal R&D, Dr. Matthew Saunders, joined a panel on “Algae in Agriculture: Innovations for Soil and Crop Enhancement,” sharing insights from our state-of-the-art labs in Gilbert, AZ.

A big thank-you to our incredible team for representing Heliae and advancing the conversation around sustainable agriculture powered by microalgae!

Technology is one way to manage ag problems. And it’s usually pretty effective. Which is likely why technological agriculture solutions captured 65% of available funding from major research grants from 2008 to 2018.

Today, 27% of farms and ranches around the world have adopted some form of precision agriculture.

But the reality is, many growers are still hitting yield barriers, fighting diseases and pests, and becoming more and more reliant on inputs.

While technology can fix a problem, it can’t manage it long term.

Biology, on the other hand, fixes long-term issues growers face regularly. Yet only 15% of major agriculture research grants from 2008 to 2018 focused on soil biological processes.

If you’re wondering what PhycoTerra® is, and are scratching your head at the concept of feeding soil microbes, it’s because research isn’t funding the solution to agriculture problems like they are the management options.

Growers are starting to see that if you want to break yield barriers you need to start with your soil and soil biology, while complementing it with technology.

Eight years ago we said microalgae was the future of farming. Today, there’s increasing evidence to support that claim.

What an incredible week we had at CAPCA Annual Conference & Agri Expo 2025 in Reno, NV!

Our PhycoTerra team had a great time connecting with local growers and industry partners in the specialty crops market. We shared how PhycoTerra® — our microalgae-based line of products — supports regenerative farming practices that help farmers .

Huge thanks to our onsite team for your dedication and for representing PhycoTerra with passion and purpose!

There’s no time of year like harvest.

We’re grateful to be out in the field supporting the amazing people who feed our country and the world.

This drone footage was taken in Nebraska for a farmer who is a part of our Grower Advisory Panel.

Good luck with your harvest this season!

Crop residue can be a win/win/win.

WIN: Reduce your crop residue mass by 21%.

WIN: Increase your topsoil temperature by 5 degrees in the spring.

WIN: Use left-over residue to feed beneficial microbes, who will support next year’s crops.

Residue for any farmer can be an issue, but for no-till or minimal-tillage farmers, it can be a burden.

But it doesn’t have to be. You can leave residue in the field and see up to a 21% reduction in residue mass by spring.

Less residue, warmer soils, and earlier planting–up to 3 days sooner.

We’re hosting a webinar with No-Till Farmer on October 23rd, and you’re invited!
