Minerals and Our Soils


What are minerals? How did our soils become mineral rich? What happened to the minerals? What minerals and trace elements are

essential to plant, animal and human health? How can we correct the problem?

Minerals
Single elements Compounds Multi-functional Synergistic

How Soils Became Mineral Rich


Ocean sediment Glaciers River flood plains Physical degradation of rocks in soil Decomposition of plant material

What Happened to the Minerals?


Lost as runoff into streams, rivers and ocean Leached into aquifers Over-cropping and mono-cropping Blocked by Elemental imbalances Non-existent and/or destroyed soil microbial

populations Oceans largest mineral reservoir 92+ elements

How Do We Know?
Soil tests & plant assays Proliferation of plant pathogens and insects General decline in human and animal health
and disease resistance Increased demand of vitamin/mineral supplements

Essential Elements?

21 for plant growth and development +7 for human and animal nutrition New element deemed essential every 10 years

Maynard Murray, MD Sea Energy Agriculture


Medical doctor, physiologist
and research scientist Pioneered studies of mineral & trace element deficiencies Discovered Sea Energy Agriculture technology using sea solids

All Elements are Essential


Periodic Table: 92+ Elements (Minerals)

The Ocean Mineral Reservoir


Covers 70 percent Earths surface Receives 4 billion tons dissolved mineral

material from land annually 90+ elements consistently and continually available to sea life in liquid crystallized state No malnutrition or degenerative diseases Cradle of life

Natural Sea Solids

Sea Solids
3.5% solids remain after water removed Mineral rich Naturally dehydrated sea water 99% water soluble Cost effective to collect and transport Simple and effective technology

Why Sea Solids?


Positive economic benefits Low cost per application Multiple application methods
soil and pasture fertilizer foliar spray compost and compost tea mineral supplement for livestock

Remineralizing Soil with Sea Solids


3-10 year application program Total 2,200 lbs per acre No further applications for minimum of
five additional years Broadcast on soil surface Banding and Row Support Irrigation system

Dr. Murrays Research Results


Ed Heines Farm, Northern Illinois
18% increase in crop production Up to 18% increase in ash weight Up to 25% increase in vitamin C Increase in disease resistance Improvement in taste

Dr. Murrays Research ~ cont.


Animal Feeding Studies Chickens
Matured and began laying eggs 30 days before control group 12-16% weight increase 37% less feed consumption 14% increase in egg weight No mortalities, worms, leg disjointing or nervous conditions

Dr. Murrays Research ~ cont.


Animal Laboratory Studies C3H Mice
bred to develop cancer control group died within 8 months experimental group sacrificed 16 months; no signs of cancer experimental group produced 10 cancer-free litters vs 3 litters by control group

Southern Alabama

Sea solid application 250 lbs per acre. Foliar application 1.25 lbs per acre w/liquid fish

Neighbors Pasture across the fence line treated with chemical fertilizers.

Kentucky Goat Farmer


20 lbs sea solids + 4 gal liquid fish in 55 gal of H2O 3 applications in 2006; 13 gal per acre Foliar application to hay every six weeks (after
cutting) 45% increased hay production 3% increase in hay protein Greener, taller (2-4) pastures 11% increased goat milk production Healthier goats

California Walnut Grower


9 year old walnut trees Applied 550 lbs per acre sea solids mixed with
commercially produced organic compost 1 lb per acre sea solids foliar spray- three summer applications Best grade sheets in 2006- two perfect loads No insects vs. conventional/chemical neighbor (worms in 10% of final product)

Wheat Grass in New Mexico


Prepares 3% solution (sea water) Dilutes 1:100 1 cup per 14x18 tray every other day Matured one day earlier 17% increased juice production Noticeably greener blades & distinctly
different taste

Kentucky Farmer
Livestock Pasture- broadcast application Potato crop
Prefer sea solids over typical salt block Livestock previously ate grass, roots & soil After sea solid treatment, eat only grass Largest bumper crop ever Fewer (virtually none) potato beetles

Turf in Arkansas
Turf grass and pasture
5 lbs SEA-90 per acre applied as drench Healthier soil life, improved root growth & soil perculation, thatch disappeared Goats/cattle refuse free choice minerals Chicks higher energy levels better appetites Carrots increased brix & shelf life Okra- increased shelf life one week

Garden 1,100 lbs/acre

What to Expect?
Higher productivity Longer shelf life Greater disease/insect resistance Increased nutritional content Improved taste Visibly healthier (greener) plants Improved animal health Replenished soil microflora

Economic Benefits
Increased Profits
Greater yields Longer shelf life Improved taste product demand Healthy & more productive animals Decrease pesticide & fungicide use

*Improved family and community health*

Conclusion
Dr. Murrays sea solids
complete source of minerals and trace elements cost effective and environmentally safe offers multiple application options safe for plants and animals at recommended rates perfect full spectrum remineralization
