Soil / Compost Assessments
Mobile Soil Food Web Assessments available at your site.
Our soil food web lab can help you to understand the biological profile of your sample. You will be provided with a lab report detailing the populations of the microbiology contained within your sample and whether they are within the requirements to be considered BioComplete. Lab reports are useful in helping to understand your fungal to bacterial ratio and if the amendments you are using are increasing the biological profile of your soil.

Engineered Compost Teas
Engineered Liquid Compost Extracts
Engineered Liquid Compost Extracts
Our "Brew Lab" uses an all stainless steel conical brewer to ensure bio-film is never present. Using a proprietary recipes; we combine organic foods, organic acids and aerobic beneficial biology to create BioDynamic Solutions.
Our teas are safe and pathogen free. All of our products are assessed using dark field microscopy.
Applied through low pressure spray by our team on above ground plant surfaces. Populations of beneficial biology established at 70% or more outcompete pests and disease for food and space, unable to become established.
Engineered Liquid Compost Extracts
Engineered Liquid Compost Extracts
Engineered Liquid Compost Extracts
Our Liquid Compost Extracts are made in the same all stainless steal equipment that our teas are brewed in.
With the addition of beneficial microbes we are able to increase the bioavailability of Phosphate, Calcium and Iron. Our compost extracts promote good soil health with enzymes that hydrolyze substrate into useful byproducts for the community of microbes in the rhizosphere .
our products are excellent, adaptable and cost effective!

Agriculture
Oxygen is an essential plant nutrient – plant root systems require oxygen for aerobic respiration, an essential plant process that releases energy for root growth and nutrient uptake. Oxygen supplied for plant root uptake is provided mostly as dissolved oxygen (DO) held in the nutrient solutions used to irrigate the plants. If depletion of this dissolved oxygen in the root system occurs, growth of plants and water and mineral uptake are reduced.
Injury from low (or no) oxygen in the root zone can take several forms and these will differ in severity between plant types. Often the first sign of inadequate oxygen supply to the roots is wilting of the plant under warm conditions and high light levels. Insufficient oxygen reduces the permeability of the roots to water and there will be an accumulation of toxins, so that both water and minerals are not absorbed in sufficient amounts to support plant growth. This wilting is accompanied by slower rates of photosynthesis and carbohydrate transfer, so that over time, plant growth is reduced and yields are affected. If oxygen starvation continues, mineral deficiencies will begin to show, roots die back and plants will become stunted. If the lack of oxygen continues in the root zone, plants produce a stress hormone – ethylene, which accumulates in the roots and causes collapse of the root cells, at this stage pathogens such as pythium can easily take hold and destroy the plant.
Healthy roots supplied with sufficient oxygen are able to absorb nutrient ions selectively from the surrounding solution as required. The metabolic energy which is required to drive this nutrient uptake process is obtained from root respiration using oxygen. In fact, there can be a net loss of nutrient ions from a plant’s root system when suffering from a lack of oxygen (anaerobic conditions). Without sufficient oxygen in the root zone, plants are unable to take up mineral nutrients in the concentrations required for maximum growth and development. Maintaining maximum levels of dissolved oxygen boosts nutrient uptake by ensuring that healthy roots have the energy required to rapidly take up and transport water and mineral ions to the plant.

Aquaculture
Aquaculture is the fastest-growing animal-based food industry in the world. Over half of the seafood eaten in the US is farm raised, most being imported. Population growth and diminishing natural harvests put the managed aquaculture industry in a prime position for explosive growth globally. Superior water quality management will be key to ultimate industry success.
Dissolved oxygen (DO) is by far the most important chemical parameter in aquaculture. Low-dissolved oxygen levels are responsible for more fish kills, either directly or indirectly, than all other problems combined. Like humans, fish require oxygen for respiration. The amount of oxygen consumed by the fish is a function of its size, feeding rate, activity level, and temperature. Small fish consume more oxygen than do large fish because of their higher metabolic rate.
Fish farmers, attempting to maximize production, stock greater amounts of fish in a given body of water than found in nature. Frequently, due to increased oxygen demand, it is necessary to supply supplemental aeration to maintain adequate levels of dissolved oxygen.
To obtain good growth, fish must be cultured at optimum levels of dissolved oxygen. A good rule of thumb is to maintain DO levels of at least 5 ppm. Dissolved oxygen levels less than 5 ppm can place undue stress on the fish, and levels less than 2 ppm will result in death. While this is a rule of thumb, warm and cold water species have varying tolerances to low DO levels.
Fish are not the only consumers of oxygen in aquaculture systems; bacteria, phytoplankton, and zooplankton consume large quantities of oxygen as well. Decomposition of organic materials (algae, bacteria, and fish wastes) is the single greatest consumer of oxygen in aquaculture systems. Accordingly, management of supplemental oxygen is critical.
In nature, oxygen enters the water primarily through direct diffusion at the air-water interface and through plant photosynthesis. Direct diffusion is relatively insignificant unless there is considerable wind and wave action. Several forms of mechanical aeration are currently in use to assist nature. The general categories are:
- Paddlewheels
- Agitators
- Vertical sprayers
- Impellers
- Airlift pumps
- Venturi pumps
- Liquid oxygen injection
- Air diffusers
We offer a new, more efficient, and more effective technology for maintenance of DO levels in aquaculture operations utilizing ultra-fine nanobubble generation. None of the above aeration methods generate ultra-fine nanobubbles.

Clean Tech
Cleaning is normally associated with soaps and other chemicals. Ultra-fine nanobubbles, particularly CO2 nanobubbles, are an effective and earth friendly alternative. Our ultra-fine nanobubble technology has been widely, effectively and economically used to clean everything from cars to windows to heavy equipment to metals to commercial buildings and more. The combination of the penetration properties of nanobubbles and the degreasing capabilities of CO2, provides a chemical-free, effective solution for both small and large scale cleaning applications.

Lake/Pond Remediation and Rehabilitation
Throughout the world, lakes, ponds, estuairies, creeks and rivers are experiencing problems with excessive algae, anoxic water and fish and wildlife kills. While unhealthy and unsightly, these issues usually also cause unpleasant odors the abutters must live with.
It is widely recognized that these problems are caused by the negative impact on the water bodies’ natural biom of diminished dissolved oxygen (DO) levels throughout the water column. Overall DO decreases due to increases in the biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) required to decompose dead algae and remediate the impact of fertilizer and industrial and human waste runoff.
