MicroSoil a Natural Concentrate of Beneficial Microorganisms

A Natural Concentrate of Beneficial Soil Microorganisms

GRASS SEED EMERGENCE
GROWTH TEST
Conducted by a Texas based seed company		 Texas the Lone Star State

Purpose
To compare the effectiveness of Microsoil with the standard grass seed planting procedures.

Treatments
The seed was treated with MicroSoil (MicroSoil was sprayed directly on the seeds) and returned to the seed company for the emergence and growth tests, which employed the scientific sampling standard of 3 repetitions each.

Conclusions

Microsoil improved the emergence rate with grasses, in fact, the Kleingrass rate was doubled and the Buffelgrass rate was almost doubled the 5th day.
Note: On large volumes of such spraying a MicroSoil dilution of 4:1 (4 parts water to 1 part MicroSoil) directly on the seed is acceptable, however, for best results, use MicroSoil directly on the soil, as is normally specified. This is highly recommended, as the soil is the microorganisms' native environment.
