Biosoil

Mission Statement
Bio-Soil is committed to enabling farmers to profitably
feed the world in a sustainable manner.
Bio Soil’s SumaGrowtm products were developed in part by Michigan State University (MSU) as
a result of six years of extensive development and testing. The products consist of 30+ carefully selected
microorganisms (bacteria and fungi) that exist in soil which has beenconcentrated for commercial use.
Our products have demonstrated significantly increased yield, as well as fertilizer, water and pesticides
reductions.
Other benefits include faster and higher germination rates, better ability to withstand stresses such
as high winds and drought, higher nutrient values, chelation of fertilizer to the roots, and earlier
maturation.

Test ResultsMichigan State has conducted over three years of testing on the product, and separately we have
conducted six years of our own product testing. In addition, independent farmers have conducted their
own field trials. Some of these test results are below.
A. Table 1 below reflects various test results conducted by Michigan State University.
All the yield values given for F2 (SumaGrowtm) aresignificant. (F1 is a weaker version of the
product.) The data are based on a randomized block design with a minimum of three separate
experiments with four replications for each experiment.
The data table shows a 301% increase in rice yield, 400% increase in tomato yield, 127% in
soybeans, 86% in peas, 258% in okra, 234% in peanuts, and over 100% in garden beans and
wonder bush beans with a 50%reduction in nitrogenous fertilizer.

B. Field Tests Conducted by the Company in Mississippi.
During 2007, wereplicated the green house tests of MSU in double blind field trials in
Mississippi. Crops treated with SumaGrowtm showed a 75% increase in yield for tomatoes; 27% for bell
peppers; 40% for banana peppers; 30% for corn and 61% for yellow squash. It is important to note that
these field trials were conducted during a growing season drought, which caused significant problems for
other farmers in the...
