Increasing Nutrient Uptake

 in third-party trials, Persist biochar and paf liquid significantly increased plant and soil nutrient efficiency.

Research Trials

Microbial Research (the Netherlands)

In hydroponic tomatoes, Persist PAF boosted beneficial microbes over 10-fold, including Nitrospira and Firmicutes.

* Wageningen University and Research

Pepper (California)

Persist® PAF and Biochar delivered 15% more peppers per acre and 13% higher average weight.

* Holden Research and Consulting

Strawberry (California)

Persist™ PAF Liquid and Biochar provided a 14% yield increase in marketable strawberries per acre.

* Holden Research and Consulting

Soybean (Iowa)

Persist PAF + biochar tea yielded 7% more soybean plants per acre and 4% taller plants.

* SynTech Research Group

Ornamentals (California)

Persist® PAF improved the germination rate in coleus plants by up to 4.5%.

* Commercial Nursery Trial

Celery (California)

Persist PAF liquid improves celery yield by 159%*.

* Trial conducted in known, heavily diseased soil (fusarium). (Holden Research and Consulting)

Broccoli (California)

Persist PAF treatments resulted in a 61% increase in total plant weight in nursery trials.

* Holden Research and Consulting

Tomato (Hawaii)

In a grower trial, Persist Biochar delivered a 15% yield increase with 40% water savings.

* Ige Group, Grower

Celery (California)

Persist PAF produced 72% greater new root growth and a 31% increase in plant weight in nursery trial.

* Holden Research and Consulting

Hay-Water Savings (Colorado)

Persist Biochar increased soil water-holding by 23% and improved hay protein, RFQ, and RFV.

* Lobato Farms-Colorado State University

Enhancing the bioavailability of nutrients is critical to performance. Unabsorbed nutrients are wasted and can cause environmental harm.

Improving macro- and micro-nutrient availability with Persist PAF liquid.

Organic acids in Persist PAF, including acetic, malic, lactic, and succinic acids, have been shown to solubilize and mobilize minerals such as Fe, P, K, and Mg.  These organic acids form complexes with key minerals to improve and extend their availability to plants.

Biochar

Persist treatment produces 7% more soybean plants per acre and 4% larger plants.

* SynTech Research Group (Jefferson City, Iowa, U.S.A.)
Treatment included a unique blend of Persist PAF liquid and a biochar tea. Two liquid applications were made: One at pre-plant and the second at six weeks after planting.

Persist Premium Biochar

One pound of ultra-porous Persist Premium Biochar has a surface area of over 25 football fields. Water adheres to these surfaces to retain moisture in soil up to six times longer. The microscopic pores also serve as a habitat for microbes, creating a microbe mega-factory in your soil.

Persist PAF Bio-liquid

Persist PAF is a unique liquid blend of organic acids, phenols, and natural compounds. While biochar provides shelter for microbes, PAF provides the food. Recent crop trials, including strawberry, pepper, and soybean, show significant improvements in nutrient uptake and yield.

15% more bell peppers per acre and a 13% increase in harvested weight.

* Holden Research & Consulting (Camarillo, California, U.S.A.)
  • In-season tissue sampling showed treated plants had a remarkably higher nutrient uptake, including 22% greater Nitrogen.
  • End-of-season soil analysis showed significantly higher retained nitrate nitrogen in the treated plots.
