For years, turf managers and growers have utilized both chemical and mechanical means to incorporate oxygen into their soils. Many realize that the type biological activity found in their soils is vital to maintaining healthy growth and quality turf grass. Soil scientists agree that this is true. Disease factors found in both plants and water primarily stem from the lack of oxygen. Soils lacking adequate oxygen are known as anaerobic while soils that have adequate oxygen on a consistent basis are referred to as aerobic. Therefore, turf managers often mechanically aerate their soils, using heavy equipment that literally pokes holes into the soil allowing air to penetrate, but this practice is costly and damages the turf.
Delivering oxygen to the root zone is necessary as conditions such as black layer often plague even the best of golf greens and cause putrid odors that resembles rotten eggs. This odor is caused by the over growth or proliferation of anaerobic bacteria such as desulfovibrio and desulfotomatuculum bacteria and/or various blue-green algae or cyanobacteria which produce mucilage that blocks both air and water movement in sandy and clay soils and acts as an energy source for anaerobic bacteria. It is the by-products of these various bacteria and the subsequent toxic soil conditions that occur that have a negative impact on the growth of roots and these have also been found to harbor disease-causing bacteria.
Biofeed Probiotic products bring a new approach to improving soil and water oxygen content. These dynamic products contain a highly unique enzyme system called H2O-Dehydrogenase (HDH) that effectively splits the water molecule, releasing elemental oxygen and creates a highly aerobic environment that excludes the proliferation of noxious and disease causing bacteria. This powerful HDH system has proven to be very useful in improving chemical and metabolic oxidation/reduction reactions in soils allowing for improved nutrient up take by plant roots while reducing disease occurrence.
Following treatment of turf and soils with Biofeed products, oxygen levels rise and soil conditions such as black layer usually disappear within days to weeks, water penetration and fertilizer efficiency improves and overall turf quality improves as biological systems tend to become more conducive to plant health. Numerous university and field studies have been conducted to determine the effectiveness of these products in a variety of applications. The research continues.

Biofeed Solutions, Inc introduces the most advanced product to the aquaculture industry in over 50 years....
"Finally, Sustainable Aquaculture ponds are possible!"
Producing both quality and quantity in a pond may not always be easy. As the grow-out cycle continues water conditions at times becomes intolerable as ammonia and sludge levels rise and oxygen levels fall. This can even lead to outbreaks of disease which can wipe out your entire crop of fish or shrimp! In your pond there are countless populations of bacteria at work trying to maintain a natural balance between sludge digestion nitrogen cycling and oxygen consumption. The natural metabolism of your fish or shrimp and the bacteria in your ponds both require adequate dissolved oxygen (DO) to grow and manage sludge build up. Various levels of DO may be achieved through mechanical aeration, yet this may not always be enough!
The solution for naturally oxygenating ponds and providing energy for beneficial aerobic bacteria is here!
NEW! AQUA PRO contains enzymes that have the unique ability to split the water (H2O) molecule releasing essential oxygen, right from the water! This action complements paddle wheel or mechanical aeration systems to ensure adequate oxygen levels for growing healthier fish and shrimp and maintain aerobic bacteria systems that digest unwanted sludge and reduce ammonia and nitrates.
NEW! AQUA PRO , also provides specific nutrient complexes that are required by beneficial aerobic bacteria. NEW! AQUA PRO provides the energy required by bacteria to break down and digest sludge elements such as protein, fecal coliform and fesces.
Maximize water use in closed systems!
Flow through systems are costly to operate and often have negative effects on nearby streams or rivers as effluent may contain high levels of suspended solids and nutrients. By complementing your aeration system with NEW! AQUA PRO, you give your pond bacteria the elements they require to keep up with sludge production. This means that water may be reused to start a second crop and reduce the impact on the environment.
NEW! AQUA PRO contains NO viable bacteria.
