BENEFITS - Turbo-Grow's benefits include the following:

•  Provides slow natural release of minerals and trace elements
•  Stimulates soil micro-organism activity
•  Raises moisture and nutrient storage capacity of soils
•  Contributes to the building of humus complexes
•  Buffers both high and low pH levels in soils
•  Helps combat soil erosion
•  Greatly improves root development
•  Increases the nutrient intake of plants
•  Increases yields – some trials have given results up to 400%
•  Enhances flavour and texture in crops and fruit
•  Produces more nutritious crops and fruit
•  Increases resistance to insects and disease – resultant savings on    
    pesticides and herbicides
•  Increases resistance to frost and drought
•  Quicker and sturdier growth rates
•  Free natural input for organic farmers
•  Non-toxic, environmentally friendly and totally natural
•  Enhances sugar and mineral content in fruit and vegetables
•  Decreases dependence on chemical fertilisers – good savings for farmers
•  Improves water retention in free draining soils
•  Revitalises existing plants and trees
•  Increases both growth rate of micro-organisms and earthworm activity
•  Great for compost – increases biotic-mineral content of humus and  
    reduces smells
•  Reduces mortality rates in seedlings & replanting
•  Improves germination
•  Research has also indicated benefits as a human and animal dietary
    supplement
•  Odour control when sprinkled on animal bedding
•  Dust plants with Turbo-Grow for insect control
•  Add to compost teas to enhance micro-organism count
•  The paramagnetic component of Turbo-Grow is the subject of much
    research and debate at present

In summary then, the benefits are obvious - healthy soil leads to healthy plants & animals, giving us healthy food...leading to healthier, happier humans...

For the more technically minded the following synopsis will provide more insight:

Mineral depleted soils display a range of properties that are indicative of low inherent fertility and conditions detrimental to healthy plant growth, incl.

•  High soil acidity, with weak response to liming
•  Low availability of nutrient cations supplied from minerals and
   trace elements
•  Very low levels of plant nutrients in the form of exchangeable basic
   cations, especially calcium, magnesium & potassium
•  Low availability of, or high requirements for phosphorus
•  Rapid oxidation of organic matter, leading to degeneration of soil structure
•  Limited soil micro-organism activity

Turbo-Grow enhances plant growth in mineral depleted soils due to its ability to

•  Rejuvenate the mineral & chemical properties of mineral depleted soils
•  Improve the cation exchange capacity of the soil
•  Enhance the ability of soils to retain nutrient cations and supply them to
   plants
•  Buffer both high and low pH levels in soils
•  Reduce the phosphorus fixation capacity of the soil, so that phosphates
   added in fertilisers are kept in soil solution and are more readily
   available for plant nutrition
•  Provide silica, "the forgotten element" which strengthens cell walls,
   resulting in improved plant vigour and quality

Thus, Turbo-Grow has the potential to provide significant commercial benefits through its ability to

•  Enhance soil health & increase crop yields
•  Reduce farming input costs in lower rates of application of fertilisers and
   pesticides
•  Reduce the social, economic & environmental impact of algeal blooms and
   other evidence of high nutrient levels  in waterways downstream of
   agricultural activities
•  Provide divalent cations that may be used as a tool to be used in the
   amelioration of sodic soils
•  Provide input replacement through the need for less fertiliser to sustain
   plant production on soils that have been treated with Turbo-Grow
   applications
•  Underpin the development of new farming strategies to ensure more
   sustainable uses of soil resources & fertilisers.
