The combination of beneficial bacteria and organic humates in Quantum Growth combine to help users greatly reduce inputs such as fertilizers and pesticides. Organic material in the soil, such as the humates in Quantum Growth, are essentially "sponges" for nutrients, binding over 50 different elements from the periodic table. These nutrients, such an nitrogen, phosphorous, potassium, calcium etc...are then released back into the soil instead of washing through. The bacterial also incorporate nutrients into their cell bodies, and carry them along as they live on the roots and in the plant, essentially acting as a transportation system.
In a more direct manner, Quantum Growth contains bacteria that both
fix nitrogen from the air, fertilizing the plant naturally, and
bacteria that help cycle higher forms of nitrogen (such as ammonia
and urea) into nitrates, which is the principle form of nitrogen
used by plants. This makes fertilizer cycle much quicker, and
allows growers to reduce nitrogen inputs that would otherwise
volatize into the air or leach into our water systems any way.
Quantum Growth also contains microbes that solubilize phosphates,
making them more accessible to plants, trees and turf for better
fertilizer utilization. All of this combines to make
fertilizer and nutrient values much higher, and results in input and
cost reductions, and is much better for the environment. Excess nitrogen is also a source of food for pathogens such as fungi and harmful insects. Reducing the excess fertilizer in the soil helps reduce a food source for these unwanted pests. This leads to a reduction in the need for pesticides. And plants, trees and turf that are more nutrient dense are healthier and thus able to better fend off environmental stress and will be less prone to disease.
