Anthony Smith, Michigan My name is Anthony and I live in Royal Oak, MI. I have been

using Sumagreen Turf on my 100% Kentucky Bluegrass sod I

had installed at a rate of 4 oz per application for a few months

now. My grass has been a deep green even in the shaded

portion of my lawn since I started using Sumagreen Turf.

My lawn just looks overall much healthier and deeper green

while using Sumagreen compared to when I wasn’t’ using it.

It has become thick and lush with a dense deep green look

that I have desired since installing my sod.

Thank you for such an awesome product.

Water/Nitrate Runoff Arise Research and Discover Facility , Illinois

Research on the effect of products containing SumaGrow on Water & Nitrate Runoff

Execu ve Summary

Trial Summary

The validation testing at the Arise Research and Discover Facility, a specialized testing facility in Eastern Illinois, was performed primarily to determine the effect of a product containing SumaGrow on the amount of tile runoff and the percentage of nitrates contained in the runoff water.

There were five test plot covered by this report; one control plot using the state recommended amount of conventional fertilizer; two plots treated with a product containing SumaGrow and 100% fertilizer; and two plots treated with a product containing SumaGrow and 50% fertilizer.

The findings are significant (see chart above). Both the SumaGrow and 50% fertilizer (SG50) and the SumaGrow and 100% fertilizer (SG100) decreased the amount of runoff water dramatically with SG50 reducing water runoff by an average of 54.68% and SG100 reducing runoff water by an average of 47.68%.

Perhaps more importantly, the nitrates in the runoff water were significantly reduced as well with SG50 reducing nitrates by an average of 46.09% and SG100 reducing nitrates by 47.61% compared to the conventionally fertilized control plot.

The most comprehensive testing to date was performed by Michigan State University (MSU) which conducted three years of greenhouse testing on a variety of plants, including tomatoes. The above results are congruent with the other university and controlled studies that strongly indicate that when using products containing SumaGrow, the reduction and even elimination of fertilizer is necessary to achieve the highest yield increases.

The Case for Fertilizer Reduction

Products containing SumaGrow are known for substantially increasing crop yields and reducing fertilizer dependence. Several university and controlled studies, including Mississippi State University have strongly indicated that when using products containing SumaGrow, the reduction and even elimination of fertilizer is necessary to achieve the highest yield increases. Notice in the above chart the treatment producing the highest yields was the SumaGrow combined with only half the recommended fertilizer application.

Trial Results

Food Plots Mississippi

Research on the effect of products containing SumaGrow on Food Plots

Execu ve Summary

Trial Summary Testing was performed with Barenbrug’s U.S. subsidiary, Tecomate for hunters’ food plots. The testing was mainly to determine whether products containing SumaGrow increased the protein levels, which increased dramatically, as higher protein levels are a main factor in the deer growing larger antlers. However, a yield increase was also noted. The Tecomate Monster Mix (in the above table) achieved the highest yield increase with a 1/3 reduction in fertilizer while the Tecomate Max Attract 50/50 (pictured above) showed the highest yield increase with a 2/3 reduction in fertilizer.

Food Plots

Above is a soil report summary from the Mink Pond Club, a 2.500 acre private game ranch in Bushkill, Pennsylvania. The chart depicts the impressive increase in organic matter in varied plots from 2009 to 2010 while using a product containing SumaGrow. In 2007 manager Tim Foglio purchased a product containing SumaGrow and used it with his fertilizer program. He was so impressed by the results that the following year he eliminated fertilizer altogether. Foglio has soil tests run each year prior to planting and, of all the data collected, is most concerned about organic matter (OM). OM releases many plant nutrients as it is broken down, improves the soil’s structure and increases the Cation Exchange Capacity (CEC). Foglio stated that food production has increased as has the deer weights.

HUNTINGWILLNEVERBETHESAME

When native forages aren't enough.....

USE TALL STAG

• Food plots supply seasonal needs of deer that are not met by native forages and are usually more cost effective than commercial feeds.

• By planting as little as 1% of an area in food plots, you can expect an increase in deer harvest, hunter success, hunter density, hunter satisfaction, deer quality and deer observation.

Tim Foglio, manager of the Mink Pond Club, a 2,500 acre private game ranch in Bushkill,

Pennsylvania, has been using Tall Stag since 2007. He was so impressed by the results that he

• Deer are products of their environment, so determining soil quality and correcting problems in fertility and pH are the initial steps in food plot preparation.

• Tall Stag simplifies this process by creating a vibrant, soil life and is scientifically blended to compensate for areas where food plots must compete with large trees for sunlight, water and nutrients.

• Wildlife are attracted to foods that are high in nutrient content. Tall Stag treated food plots have greater mineral density, growing a better tasting, more aromatic vegetation that deer will seek out first, before grazing on the lower quality native forages.

• Tall Stag improves the health and durability of forages, promoting increased weight gain and greater potential for increased

decided to cut fertilizer use out all together the following year, creating substantial savings in

input costs.

Tim said, "Food production has increased tremendously. The weight on our deer has

increased from an average buck of weighing, say, 120 to 130lbs upwards of

180 to 190lbs, and that is in the course of a four to five year period."

"This {Tall Stag} stuff is a miracle."

Rice USDA, Texas Research on the effect of products containing SumaGrow on Rice

Execu ve Summary

Former USDA official Jodie Cammack, worked for the USDA in rice research and varietal improvement for 30 years. When first introduced to SumaGrow, Cammack agreed to test SumaGrow on a small border study of organic rice for the USDA. “I’ve used pelletized chicken litter, bone and blood meal and 10-15 different microbial products and compost teas,” Cammack said, “We tried a little bit of everything.”

One reason SumaGrow appealed to Cammack was the reasonable pricing and recommended application rate. Compared to the recommended 8-10 gallons per acre of other products, SumaGrow’s recommended 1.5 gallons per acre was more affordable and proved to be very effective.

Cammack applied SumaGrow to eight plots of organic rice leaving eight plots untreated. Every rice plot treated with SumaGrow grew quickly out of the water and was 1/2 inch taller than the untreated plots. The untreated plots of rice were still underwater and stressed.

For the next three weeks, Cammack

noted the SumaGrow treated plots remained taller and thicker than the untreated plots. However, the true results showed in the harvest. SumaGrow treated rice averaged 980 lbs more per acre more than the untreated rice. That equates to $300 additional profit per acre.

“I’ve never seen these kind of results before,” said Jodie Cammack, a former USDA official.

Primary Points

Although both the SumaGrow treated and untreated rice fields appeared very similar visually, when rice samples were taken and dried, the SumaGrow treated rice had greater shoot biomass and density compared to the rice sample treated with only fertilizer.
