Microbial re‑inoculation

Re‑inoculation means reintroducing beneficial microorganisms when the soil ecosystem is depleted or unstable, to restore principal functions (competition, breakdown, resilience).

Why re‑inoculate?

Greens are an extreme environment: sand, low organic matter, stress and frequent interventions. Useful functions can decline, opening space for opportunists.

Re‑inoculation aims to accelerate the return to a more stable trajectory.

Goal: stability over time, not a one‑off “quick fix”.

Bacteria vs fungi: complementary roles

Bacteria can establish quickly, occupy niches and produce metabolites. Fungi (including Trichoderma) bring enzymes, networks and different antagonisms.

Depending on context, we may start with a bacterial foundation and then install a fungal component.

Sequencing applications supports reduce direct competition between inoculants.

Compatibility with biocontrol and practices

We design the program around field constraints: weather windows, irrigation, nutrition, product constraints and disease calendar.

Some combinations can reduce inoculant survival (e.g., too tight intervals, incompatible products). We account for that.

We prioritize coherent application windows (a receptive soil).
We monitor establishment with indicators and field feedback.

What to expect (and not to expect)

A microbiome does not “repair” in 48 hours. Effects are often progressive: better stress tolerance, fewer extreme swings, faster recovery.

Results also depend on cultural practices: microbes don’t replace agronomy, they reinforce it.

Expect: improved trajectory over weeks/months.
Do not expect: a structural issue solved without cultural actions.
