A Documented difference
Throughout the country, we’ve been conducting pilot studies and case studies. Some have been independent and others are being conducted with universities and agricultural organizations.
In a time when food and resources are questionable, Bactelife can help!
Case Studies
USU Wellsville: Alfalfa Protein Summary
Utah State University Research Team Matt Yost. Agroclimatic Extension Specialist. Plants, Soils, and Climate (PSC) Tina Sullivan. Ph.D. Plant Science. Plants, Soils, and Climate (PSC) 2023 Preliminary Results Result #1 Bactelife Higher RFV 100% in all Tests In all cases (100%), Bactelife treated alfalfa outperformed untreated alfalfa in Relative Feed Value (RFV). RFV is the most important economic indicator of alfalfa and represents the crop nutrient feed value. Result #2 Advanced Water Reduction Test fields used less than 86% of average water use and had comparable yields in tonnage to regional alfalfa production. Result #3 Near-Average Yields Without Fertilizer With no…
Worthen Farms
Initial Challenges of Pilot Farm: Significant Reductions in Resources: Farm faced a water restriction of 40% this spring compared to spring of 2021. Water restrictions compounded by $100.00 fine for every acre foot used beyond 60% remaining water allotment. Due to a 400% increase in fertilizer this year, farmers paid double for fertilizer while reducing the amount of fertilizer in 2022 by 50% compared to the 2021 season. Climate Challenges: Spring weather was significantly colder and dryer this year, significantly impacting growth and development of crops. Farmer estimates that crops are at least 2 weeks behind historical records of growth. Leased…

Bactelife enables lawns to use less water, enhance soil health, and transition to a natural lawn care approach that can conservatively reduce fertilizer and greenhouse gas emissions from lawns by 70%. H2Organix, builds up the soil food web which can increase lawn access to nutrients and water and delivers essential micronutrients to the lawn that enhance lawn growth and health. Initial Challenges of Pilot Lawn: Severe Lawn Damage: lawn is covered with brown patches and yellow color in the hot summer months. Lawn must be re-seeded each year due to summertime damage. High Water Use: Due to hot summer temperatures commonly…
Residential
More green in their lawn more green in their Pocket This brief case study below is one of many Pilot Studies we’ve conducted on the differences Bactelife is providing residential, municipal, and agricultural properties when it comes to both water savings and improvements in plant life. 92-day transformation GOAL: Water 1 Day per Week Start: May 19, 2021 Projected 2022 Water Usage: 197,618 gallons per year Approx. 7,560 gallons per week Mid-way: June 22, 2021 Projected 2022 Water Usage: 28,231 gallons per year Approx. 1,058 gallons per week | 86% Reduction End: August 26, 2021 Projected 2022 Water Usage: 19,152 gallons per year…
Alfalfa Farm
The efforts to observe our Bactelife techonology on this alfalfa farm begain in 2021. Results from the first cutting of alfalfa were more dramatic than anticipated. Goals included reducing use of fertilzer, decreasing water usage, and increasing crop yield. Climate: Drought Restrictions, Farmers Application Process: Bactelife was applied to a section of acreage through the central pivot. Fertilizer reduction potential 12 days of application Within the first 12 days of application, changes in the soil were already detectable. Untreated acreage was calling for 60 pounds of phosphorus per acre, while the treated side called for no additional phosphorus. With fertilizer prices…
