EcoTea Residue Digestor

EcoTea Residue Digestor is biology that beaks down crop residues. It is a 3-part mix and go product powered by our Full Spectrum Biology. Built in our proprietary ecological engineering process, and fortified with our blend of Biostimulants and adjuvants. Specifically this product is centered around beneficial fungi focused on efficient decomposition.

In general our targeted formula provides a fusion of bacterial and that critical fungal component for effective decomposition. The role of EcoTea in such applications extends the effective window for use into cooler temperatures, which provides exceptional value to soil quality and next seasons crops.

Ecotea Discovery Farm Trial

Ecotea Discovery Farm Soil Health Project

For the last 5 years, EcoTea trials have reviewed the effects of broad-spectrum biology applications and their impact in conventional agriculture systems. to demonstrate this work was conducted over multiple crops, soil types and regions. The results of this diverse work indicate several definitive ways broad spectrum biology can create positive impacts in your soils and crops.

Presently the soil health testing project is ongoing at Discovery Farm in Langham, Saskatchewan. In fact, the results showed after the 2024 season that by increasing the amount of EcoTea products we applied to the plots both in furrow or as a Residue Digestor water infiltration on regenerative program plots improved by 40-70% and regressed by 5% on the conventional plot over 3 years.

Additionally, compaction and macro-aggregation improved by 30-40% on regenerative EcoTea plots and remained static on conventional plot.

Soil Compaction

Similarly cation exchange capacity (CEC) on regenerative EcoTea plots increased between 10-40% and regressed 3-5% on conventional the plot over 3 years.

Cation Exchange Capacity

All this while reducing the amount of Fertilizer applied per acre by 25%-50% across the regenerative plots.

Soil Compaction

Better Soil = Better Crops

In Truth the recycling of carbon and nutrients can be a missed opportunity in an agronomic program. Specifically using EcoTea as a Residue Digester in spring and/or fall can increase:

  • Nitrogen Cycling
  • Carbon Capture
  • Crop Resilience
  • Soil Structure

All while lowering input rates and improving your soil year after year.

While in season, nutrient use efficiency, water harvesting and other benefits, along with residue digestion between crops, give you versatile benefits all season long.

EcoTea products give your crops the support they need no matter what season and conditions you are working with, helping to grow the yields of the future.

4 years of trials have shown EcoTea increases organic matter, carbon, C02 respiration & recycles Nitrogen and Phosphorus. Making them plant available for the next growing season. 100% of Trails have shown increased soil C02 respiration, and up to 4x faster breakdown of residue. EcoTea is at the forefront of these advancements. 

An improvement in the overall health of the soil means the more nutrients you recycle, and the less you have to apply.

Healthier Soil = Healthier profits.

When to Use?

EcoTea can be applied in the Fall or Spring to residue , and lightly incorporated with a harrow or drill to optimize soil contact. Alternatively Ecotea can be applied as a seed treatment.
