Quantum microbial products restore soil balance and support sustainable growth across
turf and horticultural applications throughout New Zealand.
Ensuring beautiful greens is priority number one for golf courses. Course superintendents are always trying
To find smarter, cost effective ways to keep their grounds looking their best. A number of golf courses in
Florida incorporated Quantum Growth into their best practices for maintaining their greens. The results
Were astounding, with increased root depth and density, faster grow-in rates, reduced irrigation
Amounts, and increased resistance to common turf diseases.
Notice the increase in root depth and density with the Quantum Growth plug.
“I wanted to let you know that what we found with the cores we pulled was astounding! Four weeks ago, I checked root depth and mass on the greens and could not find a healthy white root more than approximately 1 inch. Yesterday, virtually all of the cores exhibited phenomenal root mass with healthy roots exceeding 4 inches!”

Findings from a turf study conducted by the University of Florida showed that the application of Quantum Growth resulted in root length increases of 30%, and an increase of the number of root tips of 53%.
Note the darker green color with the Quantum Growth treated side of the turf.

Root comparison at 7 weeks. Note the root
Color and volume, as well as flowering.
Root comparison at 12 weeks. The treated
Plant’s root volume is noticeable greater.
A trial was conducted to determine the benefits of using Quantum Growth to improve water retention. The trial consisted of two vinca plants purchased from a local nursery. The plants were watered once at the beginning of the trial with the control vinca receiving 6 oz of water while the treated vinca received a solution of water and 2% Quantum. The trial was conducted in August in Jacksonville, FL. The plants were placed on an asphalt surface in direct sunlight for 6 days in a row. Neither plant received any additional water.
A trial was performed at a commercial greenhouse to compare various rates of additional fertiliser with and without Quantum Growth. As can be observed from the photo below, the best result came from 0 (zero) ppm additional fertiliser and Quantum Growth. We cite this result as a demonstration of the ability of the beneficial bacteria in Quantum Growth to sequester atmospheric nitrogen and make it available to the plant. Note how the excess nitrogen in both sets of flats leads to unregulated growth characterised by pronounced stem elongation and lack of blooms. Quantum Growth bacteria can provide supplemental nitrogen and facilitate plant nutrient uptake resulting in improved fertiliser efficiency and decreased fertiliser rates.
