GLOBAL ORGANIC SUSTAINABLE SOLUTIONS The number one evolution in the world at the moment is driven by the consumers requiring less or no chemicals in our food production. Many farmers are turning back to organic farming and thus the world will be better for this. Problem is, it all takes time and more often than not production takes priority. Many simply continue to pay the price of using synthetic fertilisers.

WHAT IS DR GROW IT?

Dr Grow It All™ (DGIA) is an Organic Sustainable Solution that:

increases crop yields

grows healthier crops more naturally resistant to pest and diseases

and conditions the soil to naturally replenish the microbial action for a balanced

healthy soil.

This totally organic solution is truly Biogenic due to its self-replicating microbial system. It is Ph neutral unlike other seaweed and manure based products that have high Ph which render nutrients unavailable to plants.

Our natural organic fertiliser, due to the aerobic decomposition and bacterial action, causes the WHOLE SPECTRUM of macro and micro nutrients to become immediately plant available in a balanced form.

Certified by United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) Bio-preferred Organic and Australian Certified Organic Pty Ltd through Biological Farmers Association (BFA) Allowed Input.

HOW DOES DR GROW IT ALL WORK?

Dr Grow It All™ was developed to provide a Organic Farming Solution to both inorganic and organic growers.

Dr Grow It All™ is highly concentrated, easily applied and cost effective liquid solution that offers a complete range of nutrients that plants are able to readily access to support healthy growth throughout the growing cycle.

But the most unique property of this process was the introduction of cultured bacteria that allows the liquid organic fertiliser to condition the soil by bacteria combining with the micro-organisms, multiplying them by the billions to constantly condition the soil, and bring the nutrients back into the soil naturally. So, every time this product is applied, it is also conditioning the soil which is one of the significant achievements of this product.

It is well recognised that healthy soil is the foundation for good plant growth, but it takes time to reconstitute soils damaged by chemicals or adversely affected by nature.

Dr Grow It All™ solves that time issue by rapidly promoting the growth of soil biology and while doing so also delivers the nutrients that plants need when and in what quantities they require. Most importantly it delivers all of this in a very cost effective manner.

PLANT NUTRITION

Optimum plant growth is possible only when all essential elements are adequately supplied and in balance with each other.

NITROGEN (N) - represents life, crucial in the formation of proteins • Nitrogen is a part of all living cells and is a necessary part of all proteins, enzymes and metabolic processes involved in the synthesis and transfer of energy • Nitrogen is a part of chlorophyll, the green pigment of the plant that is responsible for photosynthesis • Helps plants with rapid growth, increasing seed and fruit production and improving the quality of leaf and forage crops If Deficient • Slow growth • Leaves are smaller and yellowish PHOSPHORUS (P) - the power broker • Is an essential part of the process of photosynthesis • Involved in the formation of all oils, sugars, starches, etc.

• Effects rapid growth • Encourages blooming and root growth If Deficient • Poorly developed root system POTASSIUM (K) - the great regulator • Potassium is absorbed by plants in larger amounts than any other mineral element except nitrogen and, in some cases, calcium • Helps in the building of protein, photosynthesis, fruit quality and reduction of diseases If Deficient • Small fruits, susceptible to disease CALCIUM (CA) - is the servant • An essential part of plant cell wall structure • Provides for normal transport and retention of other elements • Provides strength in the plant If Deficient • Weak plant MAGNESIUM (MG) - puts the ‘green’ in green plants • Important part of chlorophyll in all green plants and essential for photosynthesis • Activates many plant enzymes needed for growth • Determines the quality of a crop If Deficient • Poor quality crop

ADVANTAGES

Advantage # 1 Systematic application of Dr Grow It All™ produces increased plant health. Optimum plant growth is possible only when all the essential elements are adequately supplied and in balance with each other. Very few fertilisers can offer this. DGIA is one that can. This has ramifications for such issues as quality, flavour, shelf life and possibly the anti-oxidant value of the produce.

Advantage # 2 Ongoing application of Dr Grow It All™ conditions the soil. Beneficial biota is introduced during the formulation process and a portion of that biota in the form of microbes is transferred to the soil during fertilisation. Microbes such as these are already found in most soil types, however are often sadly depleted, particularly where chemical fertilisers have been used. The systematic introduction of these beneficial biota to the soil brings about a gradual conditioning of the soil. So we begin to see increased health of the soil itself resulting from use of Dr Grow It All™ which has obvious benefits in regard to plant growth.

Advantage # 3 Regular application of Dr Grow It All™ increases yield. Research shows that better yields can be expected.

Advantage # 4 Systematic application of Dr Grow It All™ improves shelf life. Reseach has found in most cases, shelf life of produce is significantly increased.

Advantage # 5 Systematic application of Dr Grow It All™ improves flavour. Complex biological processes determine the flavour of fruit and vegetables. If some of the base elements are not available during the plants growth and development, flavour is one of the first things to suffer.

For advantages 1, 2 and 3, there is no simple explanation, however an attempt has been made below to touch on fundamental issues as they exist in these and other areas. (See ‘Basic Science of Dr Grow It All™’) The simplest way to test these claims though is try it in your own back yard. Make up to three plots, separated by a metre or two if possible, and plant identical vegetables in each (Broccoli makes an interesting study). Fertilise one with the recommended rate of a good popular fertiliser. Treat one only with water and use Dr Grow It All™ as the sole source of nutrient for the third. Once you can see and taste the difference for yourself, you will soon find that your conviction and belief in the product can only serve to assist you in the worthy process of sales.

BASIC SCIENCE OF DR GROW IT ALL

Genetically speaking, it is generally agreed in science that one gene carries the directions for making one protein. It is the proteins that control the movement of energy and materials throughout the plant during its growth. Proteins such as Chlorophyll, enzymes and hormones are made up of amino acid chains. Among its other duties, the gene carries the list of amino acids that are bonded together to make the protein that it (the gene) represents.

There are only approximately twenty amino acids that are widely recognised, and the gene is very specific in the order and the inclusion of the various elements.

To leave any out would result in a dysfunctional protein. Let’s go back to the statement that ‘Optimum plant growth is possible only when all the essential elements are adequately supplied and in balance with each other.’

Vigorous plant growth, supported only by an excessive supply of N.P.K (Particularly nitrogen) without the support of other minerals can lead to a depletion of minerals in the soil. If the depleted mineral is needed for the production of a required amino acid, it follows that the protein will not be properly formed. Loosely speaking, this is where a number of the issues, such as shelf life, taste and plant health come from. Dr Grow It All™ addresses all these issues by unlocking and making available a wide range of elements during application.

Worth noting perhaps is that while plants are not directly sensitive the pH of the soil, they are in fact sensitive to the effect of acidity on the availability and form of plant nutrients. PH is also a significant factor in determining the quantity and diversity of soil organisms. A neutral pH allows greater diversity in this instance than say a pH of below 6 (Acid) since the biota in Dr Grow It All™ is one of these soil organisms, a significantly acid soil may inhibit the soil conditioning benefit of the product. In English, underlying issues such as soil pH can greatly affect the performance of any fertiliser.

FEATURES OF DR GROW IT ALL

Feature # 1 Dr Grow It All™ delivers a comprehensive range of elements in the correct balance.

This is the result of many years of both ‘On farm’ and controlled experimentation. Chicken manure was specifically chosen, because chickens have only a basic digestive system. Their relatively simple biological structure means that a lot of the nutrients that are required by a larger animal are not needed and remain in their food as it undergoes the digestive process.

The manure that results is collected only from farms that can address an exacting set of criteria which includes things like, organically certified, free range and first batch. This raw material is then carefully preconditioned which among other things eliminates pathogens such salmonella and e-coli, ensuring that it meets the national standards regarding pathological bacteria. Once all is ready the unique nutrient extraction process can begin and the end result is a balanced liquid fertiliser.

Feature # 2 Dr Grow It All™, is literally grow it all. Almost without exception it can be applied to any type of plant. From a hardy low maintenance plant, down to the likes of the delicate maiden hair fern, all plants will be nurtured and enjoy the benefits of this effective well balanced fertiliser.

To amplify this feature, I encourage you to think about taking a handful of urea and throwing it onto a delicate plant like the maiden hair fern, (ouch). Not that urea isn’t an accepted product in its own right, just that it is designed for a specific purpose and may not be suitable for use outside of that purpose.

Feature # 3 There is little risk of plant damage due to incorrect application rates.

Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s assume someone misreads a label and applies many times the recommended rate.

No harm is done. The excess will simply generate the microbial activity within the soil. This is due to the form and balanced nature of DGIA. This balanced make-up ensures that the plant only uptakes the elements that it needs, when it needs them. (This is an exceptional feature of DGIA and an attempt to explain it appears above under the heading of â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Basic Science of DGIA.) This is not a feature of many popular supplements available today. (E.G. Dumping a mound of NPK fertiliser on your lawn will usually result in burning and possible death of the plant.)

HELPFUL TIPS

• Be Observant; adjust your spraying intervals to the plants requirements.

• For best results apply DGIA between the hours of 5-10 am and 3-7 pm. Plant leaves have open stomates during these periods, hence, increased absorption efficiency during foliar application.

• Avoid spraying when there is immediate rainfall coming.

• For best results always use the recommended rates.

• Store DGIA out of direct sunlight.

• Always use clean containers for storing and applying DGIA.

TEST RESULTS

Test results carried out using varying applications of the Dr Grow It All™ product have returned results far exceeding expectations of a liquid organic fertiliser.

With a delivery system through commonly used irrigation, flood and drip feed systems, Dr Grow It All™ does not need to utilise any other additional resource to deliver it, unlike other synthetic fertilisers which require added machinery and manpower to deliver its product.

Dr Grow It All™ is a unique formula which delivers exceptional results, some of which include; • higher yielding crops • tastier fruits and vegetables • no burning of seedlings • healthier plants that can resist the natural pest and diseases • excessive application will not harm the crops • nutrients that are absorbed by the plants more quickly But the most unique property of this process was the introduction of a cultured bacteria which allowed the excess liquid organic fertiliser to condition the soil by bacteria combining with the micro organisms, multiplying them by the billions to constantly condition the soil, and bring the nutrients back into the soil naturally.

So, every time this product is applied, it is also conditioning the soil which is one of the significant achievements of this product.
