SumaGrow is a proprietary blend of microbes that increases crop yields while reducing or eliminating the need for fertilizers. It aims to enable farmers to profitably grow food in a sustainable way. The document discusses the unsustainability of conventional farming and the unique formulation and benefits of SumaGrow, including increased yields, reduced costs, and ability to triple profits for farmers. Financial examples show potential increased revenue from cotton and tomato crops treated with SumaGrow.
