Abstract

A method to overcome the unintended effects of repeated glyphosate applications and improve the health and vigor of plants, by remediating the soil with soil remediating microbes and replenishing the amino acid pool by applying foliar essential amino acids.

Claims (10)

1. A method for ameliorating the herbicide effect on plants from a glyphosate application to the plants or soil containing the plants, wherein glyphosate inhibits production of amino acids by the plants, the method comprising: applying to the plants or soil containing the plants, an aromatic amino acid from the group consisting of phenylalanine, tyrosine, tryptophan, and phenolic derivatives of phenylalanine, tyrosine, tryptophan, and combinations thereof, and a yeast additive comprising Saccharomyces cerevisiae yeast at 10 6 cfu/g, starch and leonardite/lignite, such that the amino acids that the glyphosate inhibits the plants from producing are replenished.

2. The method of claim 1 wherein the aromatic amino acid is applied to the plant before the glyphosate application.

3. The method of claim 1 wherein the aromatic amino acid is applied to the plant during the glyphosate application.

4. The method of claim 1 wherein the aromatic amino acid is applied to the plant after the glyphosate application.

5. The method of claim 1 wherein the aromatic amino acid is included in an admix.

6. The method of claim 1 further comprising applying to the soil containing the plants microbes capable of catabolizing glyphosate and wherein the glyphosate in the soil is catabolized by the microbes.

7. The method of claim 1 wherein the aromatic amino acid applied restores the amino acid pool within the plant and blocked by the application of glyphosate, thereby restoring healthy morphology to the plant.

8. The method of claim 1 further comprising adding an Admix to the soil.

9. The method of claim 1 wherein the yeast additive supports and increases nitrogenase levels in the soil.

10. The method of claim 1 wherein the yeast additive results in the catabolizing of glyphosate in the soil.
