Dissolution of agrominerals by bioweathering provides nutrients for corn growth

Four microscopic images of biotite, a mineral. In all four images, something that looks like a plate of broken glass at different angles.

Pure and ground samples of biotite schist and biotite syenite proved to be sources of macro- and micronutrients for corn plants. The discovery is relevant for the future guidance of fertilization protocols, correction and soil balance to maximize production through the use of silicate agrominerals as soil remineralizers.
