The science of microalgae:
soil’s tiny superhero.
Beneath every field, forest, and garden lies an unseen world teeming with life. At the heart of it all are microalgae—tiny, ancient organisms that play a massive role in shaping soil health and plant vitality.
Healthy soil is the starting point for thriving farms.
Soil holds water, cycles nutrients, and sustains crops. When soil loses its vitality, the impact is huge: yields drop, costs rise, and farms are put at risk.
That’s why MyLand focuses on improving your soil health with one of the smallest but most powerful allies: microalgae.
Microalgae’s impact in the soil
Microalgae turn soil into a self-sustaining system that naturally supports plants and farms.
Healthier microbial diversity
Microalgae feed the microbiome, supporting microbial life that feeds your plants.
Improved water management
Microalgae helps regulate moisture retention and increase resilience against drought.
Nutrient cycling
Microalgae helps free up nitrogen, phosphorus, iron, and zinc, making them available for plants.
Increased organic matter
As microalgae grow and decompose, they build stable organic matter that feeds microbes, fungi, and soil fauna.
Stronger aggregation
Microalgae improves soil structure by releasing polysaccharides that enhance aggregation.
Lower soluble salts
Microalgae reduces salt buildup in soil, which helps restore balance and improve root growth.
How does MyLand work with microalgae?
For centuries, nature had its own rhythm: a circular system where soil and microalgae worked together with bacteria, fungi, and other microorganisms to sustain healthy, productive land. MyLand brings that ancient balance to modern farms.
MyLand’s Service starts with your soil. We take small samples from your farm and identify the native microalgae already thriving there. In our lab, we cultivate the optimal strains best suited to thrive and support your soil.
Through MyLand Systems, your farm’s algae are reintroduced via your existing irrigation system.
Once in the soil, these living microalgae thrive and multiply, creating a self-sustaining soil ecosystem that results in stronger plants & more profitable farms.
Microalgae 🤝 healthy soil
So, what are microalgae, and what happens when they’re added to soil?
Microalgae are microscopic plants that have been shaping life on Earth for billions of years. They’re found all over the world, in all types of soil, where they quietly power healthier crops and resilient farms.
Plants jump into action when microalgae is added to the soil. Roots release sugars to feed them, and in return, the microalgae strengthen soil biology—supporting beneficial bacteria and fungi that protect and nourish plants.
This exchange builds a stronger soil microbiome and creates the underground connections plants need to thrive. It’s a simple and powerful partnership: microalgae make soil more alive, and living soil makes agriculture more sustainable.
Building resiliency from the ground up
MyLand’s live, native microalgae build resilience from the ground up by influencing how soil holds water, balances salts, and supports healthy root systems.
Over time, these changes help crops stay productive through drought, high salinity, and on-farm stressors. A level of resiliency like this keeps your fields healthier, season after season.
Soil is more than dirt
Soil is not just a medium for crops to grow—it’s a complex ecosystem teeming with life, and it provides nutrients to plants, holds water, protects crop yields, and builds resilient farms.
Soil gets these abilities from the biology within. From microbes to microalgae, living organisms transform soil from inert matter into the foundation of agriculture.
