High Yield Industries has financed a local spray company and are assisting in the day to day
operations of marketing, website, purchasing, mixing, and more. As we are new to the lawn
spray and golf turf market we need all the research we can get wherever we can get it. We
have hired a trained technician that has been in the spray business in Georgia and North
Florida for many years. Since we already manufacture the Atomic Grow product it only makes
sense to use it in every way that is possible for this business so we can figure out where it is
marketable and where it is not. We are excited about some of the problems we have been
able to solve and the speed in which we have been able to solve them. Even more excited
about the costs we are saving by using nano technology to transport and multiply the effects of
other inputs that are very common to the industry. I thought I would share some of these
discoveries with all of you to assist you in selling our product. I have listed some of the
problems we have been confronted with and how we solved them over the last 12 months.
Keep in mind that when we use Atomic Grow it is out of a 4 gallon back pack sprayer or out of
a 25 gallon mini tank with a 60 p.s.i. low volume electric pump. 3/8s to 200 hose. We do
not premix more than 100 gallons at a time. We feel that when nano technology is introduced
to a spray program the water volume and pressure needs to be reduced in relation to the
added penetrating ability of the solution. Atomic Grow acts like a PH buffer in that it breaks
open leaf cuticle and allows much more product to enter the plant therefor low volumes act
like high volumes and results are often better. Our spray van has (1) 100 gallon tank and (1)
25 gallon tank that both operate on electric low volume pumps. With Atomic Grow there is no
need to carry any more water than that. If we were mixing 400 to 1000 gallons at a time
Atomic Grow would not be affordable in a spray program. As the price of the product seems
high it is actually very affordable when water volumes are reduced. We are proving this every
day in the field that this philosophy works and results are as good or better in most cases.
With what we know now I would encourage other spray companies to try this program and see
for themselves. As all of you know I am always willing to travel and work with any company to
show them the benefits of our low volume programs.

Solution: We mixed a 4 gallon back pack with fan tip nozzle with 2oz. Atomic Grow and 1
ounce of Bifenthrin (Crosscheck). We spray 1 time liberally until droplets form. We also spray open
areas of the ground. This mixture is used on the following: St. Augustine grass, Hawthorns,
Aleagnus, Podocarpus, Pittosporum, Viburnum, Oleander, Roebelinni, Croton, Boxwood, Holly,
Crepe Myrtle, Bouganvilla, Citrus, Jasmin, just about anything that gets bugs. This mixture can be
sprayed any time of the day in any heat conditions with no burning.
Objective Our objective was to make the plant poisonous to the insect. Bifenthrin is traditionally
not a systemic insecticide however these insects were not on the tops of the leaves and were
difficult to get to. We could use Aloft at 7.50 per ounce or we could try Atomic Grows nano tech
particle size to get bifenthrin inside the plants vascular system and roots. What we found is that
Atomic grow makes bifenthrin much more effective. What the spray did not touch was killed
several days after as it continued to feed on the now poisonous plant. Also there was no
phytotoxicity and the plants responded nicely to the instant available carbohydrates of the Atomic
Grow.
Results : Populations were decreased by 95% and the mixture of the two products worked
beautifully. 1 or 2 insects were spotted on follow up visits but were not feeding on the plant leaves
and there was good clean new growth on most plants. We think that this also worked very good on
insects feeding or sucking on the root systems of these plants as the top growth surged more than
expected. I would not hesitate to try this on golf greens with heavy nematode infestations.
The turf areas were also very responsive to this mixture as damaged areas were repaired quickly and
the fertility of the grass increased with new lateral growth within days. Clay Olsen with University of
Florida suggested using Imidacloprid (Merit) instead of Bifenthrin as the residual will last longer. We
have not tried this yet but I am sure it would work great. We have done extensive chinch bug work
since last year. We treated heavily infested yards here in west Melbourne. Atomic Grow alone with
a low volume program will reduce populations by about 50% however after much testing I have
concluded that Atomic Grow mixed with Crosscheck at the recommended rate will rid a lawn of
chinch bugs as fast or faster than anything on the market. I have heard that Aloft is the product to
use for chinch bugs. I would like to go head to head with Aloft this summer to see if Atomic Grow
and Bifenthrin works better. I am 100% confident that the recovery time will be reduced as Atomic
Grows carbohydrate blend is going in to the plant at the same time where as aloft is simply a poison
and nothing more. Also whenever Atomic Grow is used there are magnificent root growth benefits
that are much needed in healthy St. Augustine. Aloft does not offer any accelerated root growth
benefits.

Solution : 4 gallon back pack mix .25oz. Celsius with oounce of Atomic Grow and spray in
sweeping motion over effected areas.
Objective: Sedge, spurge, kylinga, dollarweed, just about every weed that grows in this variety
of grass we are able to control using this method.
Results: Exceptional control of weeds. No phytotoxicity on primary plant species.
We have not used Atomic Grow with a pre-emergent yet. I am sure the benefits would be
enhanced although pre-emergent products works fine on their own. Most of the properties we
have treated for weeds have been with a back pack sprayer. This really keeps the cost down.
Atomic Grow opens leaf cuticles and allows the herbicides to be much more effective. We have
mixed Atomic Grow with Atrazine and with Celsius. I think Celsius works better and we love
working with a dry mix. We have never had to use the high rate to kill weeds when Atomic
Grow is in the tank. So in conclusion Atomic Grow makes herbicides much more effective and
weeds stay dead longer. Mixing Atomic Grow with round up is also highly recommended. I
have taken down brazillian Pepper trees with a full rate of each and a good foliar spray as
Atomic Grow transports round up deep into tree vascular tissue and roots.

Solution: We are mixing water soluble 20-20-20 with minor elements in a 100 gallon tank with 50
ounces of Atomic Grow. We have also mixed Ammonium sulfate 21-0-0 with this rate for turf. We
noticed super fast green up on turf and shrubs that have been fertilized periodically in the past. For turf
and shrubs that are starving we do a 14 day follow up with the same mixture. The shrubbery responds
to the water soluable fertilizer very good and the results are much faster when Atomic Grow is added.
Atomic Grow allows the plants to transport water like a wetting agent at higher efficiencies so the
leaves or fronts of the plant are much fuller and larger. The plants tend to jump out at you when they
are sprayed with this mixture. Make sure the water soluble fertilizer has minors like boron, manganese,
iron, calcium, potassium, magnesium. These elements greatly enhance the quickness of the recovery
and blooming, when the plants flush with new growth it is much more prolific as if they have been
fertilized for years. This is what makes the product so great. Easy, fast, thorough results. Most of the
palm tree problems we have encountered have been solved with this mixture. We inject the nozzle
directly into the ground at the base of the tree into the hair line roots. With Atomic Grow the nutrients
go into the tree fast and a new crop of fronds will emerge with in weeks. For Roebelinni palms with
frizzle top this mixture can be sprayed directly into the crown of the plant.
Objective: Maintain good healthy plant growth, blooming, targeting deficiencies, cleansing, building cell
wall and leaf cuticle, bypassing toxicities in soil, reducing or eliminating fertilizer wasted on the ground,
reducing liabilities and plant stress due to over fertilizing, burning, spillage.

We are not professionals with years of experience in the lawn spraying

business but with Atomic Grow it looks like we are. I have noticed that there is not 1 company in town
that performes a shrub beautification spray procedure. This is an extra service that companies could
offer for an extra expense to the customer and would make an impact on customers that are used to
lawn only service companies. We have certainly had many customers that were happy with their
company switch to our company just because we spray shrubs on the same visit. The properties we are
servicing are noticeable on a drive by. Yes the grass is green and lush but the ornamentals and
shrubbery takes the property to a new level. Traditionally the only time shrubs are touched is when
there are problems. We have also noticed that customers love it when they see a technician spraying
the shrubbery. It is good for business and the shrubs around the houses and businesses look much
healthier creating residual phone calls and word of mouth business.
So at this point Atomic Grow can be used effectively for the following.
ixing with herbicide for turf.
ixing with insecticide for turf and shrubs
ixing with water soluble fertilizer for shrubs.
