Pennsylvania Field Test

In a tomato field trial conducted in 2000, OmegaGrow with conventional fertilizer produced a 10 percent greater yield than conventional fertilizer alone.

In 2003, Dr. Roy Stephen added OmegaGrow to treatments two, three and four to test the product’s efficacy as an additive. These three treatments only differed in amounts of ammonium nitrate, phosphate, potash, sulfur and calcium. The first treatment was without OmegaGrow. Results showed an increase in yield with OmegaGrow.

OmegaGrow added to peat mix enhanced growth of plants in each separate trial. The set of plants on the left did not include OmegaGrow. The second row included one percent OmegaGrow, the third row included two percent and the last row included four percent.

Dr. George Lazarovits added OmegaGrow to commercial fertilizers in microplot conditions to evaluate the effect on potato scab disease and overall yield. Yields were significantly increased. "We had a hard time digging the potatoes out of the tiles with OmegaGrow—they were just that full," Dr. Lazarovits commented.

Through numerous trials, fish solubles have been found to protect plants against various diseases, insects and other pests.

Bacterial Spot

In tomatoes: In a 2000 university field study in London, Ontario, OmegaGrow used a 1 percent spray solution once a week for 10 weeks produced a 67 percent increase in marketable yield, a 51 percent increase in total yield, and a 13 percent reduction in bacterial spot, when compared to no treatment and Actigard.

In peppers: In a 2000 university field study in London, Ontario, OmegaGrow used as a 1 percent spray solution once a week for 10 weeks produced a 27 percent reduction in bacterial spot and a 35 percent increase in yield, when compared to no treatment and Actigard.

Verticillium Dahliae Microsclerotia

In a 2000 laboratory study in London, Ontario, OmegaGrow reduced the germination rate of verticillium dahliae microsclerotia (MS) by 45 percent.

Damping-off Disease

The effect of Rhizoctania damping-off in radish seedlings: Peat mix was heated alone or as a mix with OmegaGrow (OmegaGrow four percent m/m PM). Rhizoctania solani inocolum was added after the heat treatment. Radish seedlings were planted 1, 7, 14, and 28 days after incubation. Plants were rated two weeks after planting for damping-off.

The experiment was repeated without heating the soil and adding increasing amounts of OmegaGrow into the soil.

In cucumbers: The same experiment was conducted on cucumbers in peat mix (left) and in muck soil (right). This shows the difference between the control group and the group with OmegaGrow added at 4 percent.

Here are the results for cucumbers in peat mix with increasing amounts of OmegaGrow.
