Our SoilMix product produces positive results wherever it is applied, ranging from improving soil composition to increasing yield of crops or plants. 

Interested in implementing Natura Solve’s SoilMix product in his local community garden, one of our regional sales reps set up a comparison between treated and untreated plants, alternating rows and recording beginning data to start. 

Water is provided to the garden by the St. George and Washington Canal Company, and is highly concentrated with harmful chemical solids (specifically salt) due to the water’s origin from the Virgin River and Pah Tempe Hot Springs. High concentrations of salt can reduce crop yield and quality, but the beneficial bacteria housed in our SoilMix product drastically increases plant health and has the capacity to break down harmful solids in water and soil, reversing negative effects of contamination.

From April 24th to June 5th 2021, 1 ounce of product was diluted in 5 gallons of water and applied every other week to the designated rows. The product was applied to half of the corn, half of the peppers, and half of the tomatoes. When SoilMix was applied, the treated tomato, pepper, and corn crops grew at a faster rate and produced more fruit than the untreated plants. The plants matured at a quicker pace and displayed improved health, which resulted in increased yield. 

Natura Solve is conducting controlled testing at an alfalfa farm in Southern Utah to study the effects of Natura Solve’s SoilMix on plant yield, soil nutrition, and water retention. After only four weeks, the results surpass all expectations. 

• Alfalfa is higher with Natura Solve (2-6  inches higher than the untreated field). This potentially increases field production by 2-4 tons per acre this year. 
• Water retention in the soil is higher with Natura Solve.
• Alfalfa Phosphorous uptake is higher in field with Natura Solve by 10 times 

Natura Solve has partnered with Utah State University to conduct controlled testing at an alfalfa farm in Southern Utah to study the effects of Natura Solve’s SoilMix on plant yield, soil nutrition, and water retention. After only four weeks, the results surpass all expectations. 

The selected plot is roughly 115 acres in size, and usually produces 8 tons of Alfalfa per year in four cuts. For testing, the circle was divided in half: 57.5 acres treated with Natura Solve’s SoilMix product at 14 oz SoilMix product per acre (the test half), and 57.5 acres untouched (the control half). The division was intentionally chosen to favor the control half, which has historically outperformed the test half. The framers agreed that the test would be a success if growth could improve on the test half alfalfa by two inches during a single cutting.  

Before treatment began, both halves of the circle were treated the same (same watering, fertilizer) and during the test, both the control and test halves received the same amount of water.  Watermark probes were placed in the soil of both the test and control halves to measure how much water the soil would rethe tain in each half.

Though tests will continue for the next few weeks, the results after only a month of treatment are staggering. Despite fluctuations in weather and other variables, the alfalfa plants in the test half are already 2 to 4 inches taller as well as thicker and healthier than the alfalfa in the control half. The test half soil is also retaining significantly more water than the control half with every pass of the sprinkler. Additionally, nutrient tests done on the soil revealed that phosphorus (a key component of alfalfa growth) was ten times more abundant on the test half soil, providing the plants with ample nutrients.
