# Reconstructag ## Posts - [The Importance of Rhizophagy in Regenerative Agriculture](https://reconstructag.com/the-importance-of-rhizophagy-in-regenerative-agriculture/): The Importance of Rhizophagy in Regenerative Agriculture Rhizophagy—literally meaning “root eating”—refers to a unique plant-microbe interaction where certain bacteria and fungi cycle between the soil and the plant root interior. During this process, microbes are absorbed into plant roots, partially digested to release nutrients, and then expelled back into the soil to repeat the cycle. […] - [Practical Strategies for Integrating Mycorrhizal Fungi in Regenerative Agriculture](https://reconstructag.com/practical-strategies-for-integrating-mycorrhizal-fungi-in-regenerative-agriculture/): Practical Strategies for Integrating Mycorrhizal Fungi in Regenerative Agriculture Across the globe, regenerative farmers are increasingly adopting methods that foster and enhance the activity of mycorrhizal fungi—particularly arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) and ectomycorrhizal fungi (EMF). Reconstruct-Ag soil organisms play a central role in nutrient cycling, soil structure, and plant resilience. Rather than relying on inputs, […] - [The Importance of Mycorrhizae in Regenerative Agriculture](https://reconstructag.com/the-importance-of-mycorrhizae-in-regenerative-agriculture/): The Importance of Mycorrhizae in Regenerative Agriculture Mycorrhizae — from the Greek myco (fungus) and rhizae (root) — refers to the symbiotic association between fungi and plant roots. This relationship plays a fundamental role in regenerative agriculture by enhancing soil health, increasing plant resilience, and supporting long-term ecosystem function. Mycorrhizal fungi form extensive underground networks […] - [Microbial associations](https://reconstructag.com/microbial-associations/): Restoring Soil Microbial Associations for Sustainable Agriculture Modern agricultural practices have significantly disrupted the natural relationship between plant roots and beneficial soil microbial communities. These microorganisms play a critical role in nutrient cycling, soil structure formation, and plant resilience. However, their functions have been increasingly replaced by synthetic inputs such as chemical fertilizers, pesticides, and […] - [Soil Health](https://reconstructag.com/soil-discover-more/): Regenerating Our Soils. Over the past six decades, our agricultural soils have undergone significant degradation due to intensive farming practices. The overuse of tillage, synthetic fertilizers, insecticides, fungicides, and herbicides has severely impacted soil health. These conventional methods, while increasing short-term yields, have long-term consequences that compromise the very foundation of sustainable food production.

This senseless destruction can be turned around and reconstructed by allowing nature to heal itself through the implementation of regenerative farming practices by harnessing the power of nature […] ## Products - [EnSoil Algae – Rhizophagy Bio stimulating formulation.](https://reconstructag.com/product/ensoil-algae-rhizophagy-bio-stimulating-formulation/): The Science Behind EnSoil Algae™ EnSoil Algae™ is a liquid concentration of living Chlorella vulgaris. Producers in 47 states, 15 countries, and 4 continents are using EnSoil Algae™ and consistently report that it boosts plant health, increases yield, and thus raises the grower’s ROI. Bio stimulants are substances or organisms that enhance natural processes.  Live algae were the original bio stimulants but did not develop as a commercial product because they could not be stored. Like other green plants, green algae depend on photosynthesis and die in the dark. We solved this problem with a novel growing method so that in dark storage, EnSoil Algae™ lives by consuming organic material in the growth medium (heterotrophic feeding). It releases signaling molecules (termed phytohormones in botany, including auxins, cytokinins, gibberellins, and others) that directly stimulate plant growth and soil microbial activity. The effect on soil is critical because microbes in the rhizosphere–the area around the roots–fix atmospheric nitrogen and solubilize soil-bound nutrients such as phosphorus and potassium (among others), making these essential nutrients bioavailable to plants. How it Works: Bio stimulation, Soil Function & Fertility, Live Cells & Rhizophagy, Photosynthesis & Chlorophyll Bio stimulation - [BIOFERTILIZERS](https://reconstructag.com/product/biofertilizers/) - [COMING SOON](https://reconstructag.com/product/weather-stations/): COMIN SOON - [COMING SOON](https://reconstructag.com/product/compost-extraction-equipment/): Produces up to 500 gallons of extract per hour Patent pending stepped auger design Prevents overloading extraction chamber for dependable operation Allows easy and precise control of extract concentration Manual auger operation allows off-grid operation if water pressure is sufficient Water agitation prevents bridging in the hopper Choice of bench mount stationary stand or cart Optional extraction booster pump and transfer pump.
