Summary of BenefitsIncreases Crop Yields 10 – 20+% !! 50-100% Reduction in fertilizer Reduce water usage at least 20% Approximately 50% reduction in pesticides Crops withstand stresses better – wind, drought Faster and higher percentage germination rates Crops mature faster (earlier harvesting) Higher nutrient value – protein, brix, chlorophyll Capture carbon and bio remediate the soil

BENEFITSBenefits Emphasized for TurfCosts less than fertilizer – price stabilityIncrease water efficiency / Drought resistantReduced pesticide usageEasy to Use / Easy to StoreDoes well in shadeFaster/higher germination ratesBetter for the environment / no license required

".... results are undeniable. We had bought a house that had a pool removed and the fill had sunk in around the center of the yard. We contracted a company to drop 18 truckloads of clean topsoil… It turns out that that finely sifted topsoil was crushed clay! The following spring we could not get grass started well in the yard even with meticulous care. We had gotten some grass to grow but it was really fighting to drop roots through the soil that you couldn't hammer a nail into. It was very patchy to say the least. Within 3 weeks the results with SumaGrow Turf were noticeable by everyone. Now it is 5 weeks and the lawn is very green and healthy looking.  ..... I tell everyone about your product. It is less expensive than using standard fertilizer. You don't have to worry about burning your lawn. And the fact that there is no fertilizer to wash off and kill fish in our river, bay, and oceans. All positives and no negatives. We can do something good for the environment without compromising on performance nor paying through the nose!John K., East Brunswick, NJFescue
