The Science Behind Thunderstorms

We have recently discovered that Lightning / Thunderstorms deliver significant amounts of hydrogen to the soil. A bolt of lightning is so powerful, it breaks the covalent bonds of both the air and water it makes contact with, to create nitrogen, oxygen and hydrogen, which gets caught up in the rain and downdraft of the storm, falling to the earth, providing critical nutrients plants need.

Tilling, Cover Crops and Rotations Reduction

Farmers have known for many years oxygenated soils improve plant respiration, mineral uptake and water movement in roots, all of which have a positive impact on plant growth and productivity.

HyGrO technology can potentially reduce the need for tilling, cover crops and rotations.

Interesting Facts About Hydrogen & Oxygen

Hydrogen and Oxygen are necessary to NPK uptake. N = Nitrogen, P = Phosphorus, and K = Potassium. All three are the main components of fertilizer. Adding H2 and O2 to the soil would seem to be the reason significantly increased growth and better overall health of plants is noticed after a thunderstorm, where lightning brings increased levels of nitrogen, oxygen and hydrogen to the soil.
