SEA-CROP

and

C-Gro

are produced by Ambrosia Technology LLC

SEA-CROP concentrate is a mycorrhizal stimulant containing over 80 natural source minerals and active organic substances from deep sea Pacific Ocean water.

Control: One hill red potatoes Seeded 4-9-05 Harvested 7-1-05 Treated: One hill red potatoes Seeded 4-9-05 Harvested 7-1-05

C-Gro (SEA-CROP) treated potatoes weighed 90% more than those without C-Gro (SEA-CROP). Harvested at 73 days instead of 90 days as recommended. 2 1/2 weeks earlier to market.Brix Refractometer readings 30% higher in treated potatoes.

SEA-CROP is a catalytic trigger that releases nature's energy to give the full benefit of mycorrhizal symbiosis. The mycorrhizal fungi and beneficial bacteria that are native and adapted to your soil are stimulated to grow and reproduce abundantly, rapidly giving all of the well documented benefits of mycorrhizal symbiosis.

What Are Mycorrhizae?

The word "mycorrhizae" literally means "fungus-roots" and defines the close mutually beneficial relationship between specialized soil fungi (mycorrhizal fungi) and plant roots. These specialized fungi colonize plant roots and extend far into the soil resource. Mycorrhizal fungal filaments in the soil are truly extensions of root systems and more effective in nutrient and water absorption than the roots themselves.

Benefits include:

• Improved nutrient and water uptake
• Improved root growth
• Improved plant growth and yield
• Reduced transplant shock
• Reduced drought stress
• Parasitic nematode control

How do mycorrhizal fungi increase nutrient uptake?

These fungi increase the surface absorbing area of roots 10 to 100x thereby greatly improving the ability of the plants to utilize the soil resource. Estimates of amounts of mycorrhizal filaments present in soil associated with plants are astonishing. Several miles of fungal filaments can be present in less than a thimbleful of soil! But mycorrhizal fungi increase nutrient uptake not only by increaseing the surface absorbing area of roots, they also release powerful chemicals into the soil that dissolve hard to capture nutrients such as phosphorous , iron and other "tightly bound" soil nutrients. This extraction process is particularly important in plant nutrition and explains why non-mycorrhizal plants require high levels of fertility to maintain their health. Mycorrhizal fungi form an intricate web that captures and assimilates nutrients, thus conserving the nutrient capital in soils. In non mycorrhizal conditions much of this fertility is wasted or lost from the system.


What other activities do mycorrhizal fungi do?

Mycorrhzial fungi are involved with a wide variety of other activities that benefit plant establishment and growth. The same extensive network of fungal filaments important to nutrient uptake is also important in water uptake and storage. In non-irrigated conditions, mycorrhizal plants are under far less drought stress compared to non-mycorrhizal plants. Mycorrhizal fungi also improve soil structure. Mycorrhizal filaments produce humic compounds and organic "glues" (extracellular polysaccharides) that bind soils into aggregates and improve soil porosity. Soil porosity and soil structure positively influence the growth of plants by promoting aeration, water movement into soil, root growth, and distribution. In sandy or compacted soils the ability of mycorrhizal fungi to promote soil structure may be more important than the seeking out of nutrients. Over 90% of the world's plant species require mycorrhizal association for maximum performance.

Untreated

Treated

SEA-CROP is more economical than other treatments that are less effective and reliable.
Mychorrizal inoculation is limited to only a few species and does not always work.

SEA-CROP stimulates the mycorrhixzal fungi and beneficial bacteria that are native and adapted to your soil causing them to grow and reproduce abundantly.
