Increase Fertilizer Efficiency

Healthier Plants Mean Larger Crops

We all recognize farming to be a challenging endeavor.  In addition to planting, growing, and harvesting their crops, farmers face continuing struggles with rising costs for labor, fertilizers, herbicides, pesticides, and fuel.  There is also added pressure on crop prices brought about by imported produce, and even concerns that soil fertility is declining on American farmland - thereby reducing crop production.    

One way to improve profitability is to use farm resources as efficiently as possible.  For example, we know that plants absorb only a relatively small percentage of applied fertilizer, so improving the efficiency of plant nutrient uptake would yield immediate results.  Making use of more of the applied fertilizer would help both economically and environmentally; as fertilizer that isn't absorbed by the plant is wasted, and is often washed away through runoff, eventually finding its way into lakes, streams, and groundwater.  

Plant roots absorb nutrients through an electromagnetic attraction to the nutrient ions in the soil.  An Increase in this electromagnetic attraction will help the roots draw in more of the nutrients from the soil.  Quantum chemistry has now provided a way to do just that with a product made from plant-based ingredients called BioWash that increases the electromagnetic attraction (Cation Exchange Capacity) in the plant’s roots.  Plant roots absorb more of the available nutrients, and the plants become healthier, grow larger, and produce more fruits and vegetables. 

Improved Cation Exchange Capacity increases root growth

In addition, when this groundwater-safe ‘fertilizer enhancer’ is applied directly to the soil, it breaks down residual nutrients from chemical fertilizers already in the soil that the plants could not previously absorb.  Once broken down, those nutrients are more easily absorbed by the roots.  The benefits are 1) the nutrient absorption rate of the plants is increased and 2) more nutrients in the soil are usable by the plants. 

Actual farm tests have proven that plant size and crop yield have increased by 10% to 30% with the addition of BioWash to the normal regimen of nutrients.  A recent test on corn in Iowa showed an increase from 170 bushels per acre to 189 bushels per acre on a test plot with three applications of BioWash.  At a cost of only about $20 per acre for those 3 applications, this added crop yield can make a real difference in the farmer’s profit for his crop.
