We’re expanding to North Carolina! In mid-January, Nurture Growth Bio participated in the North Carolina Blueberry Council Tradeshow and the Sweet Potato Commission Annual Meeting where we met with farmers to learn about how these crops are grown. Did you know that North Carolina grows approximately 80,000 acres of Sweet Potato? We were thrilled to support the Sweet Potato Commission as a bronze sponsor at this event. | | | |

An experiment was conducted to assess the impact of Nurture Growth Biofertilizer on radish seed germination, early growth, and overall plant development, from seed germination to harvest. | |
|
The study employed the paper towel method to investigate germination performance. Radish seeds were divided into two treatment groups: (1) control seeds soaked in distilled water and (2) seeds treated with a biofertilizer solution, prepared by dissolving 1 teaspoon of Nurture Growth Biofertilizer in 125 mL of water. Each group consisted of four replicates, with 10 seeds per replicate. Seeds were placed on moistened paper towels, enclosed in sealed Ziplock bags, and maintained under controlled environmental conditions. Germination rates were monitored over 7 days. | |
|
After 7 days, germinated seeds were transferred into small pots containing a standard growth medium. Plants were observed for an additional 16 days, during which they were transitioned into larger pots to facilitate further root and shoot development. Throughout the experiment, plants were treated weekly with a 1% Nurture Growth Biofertilizer foliar spray to evaluate its influence on plant growth parameters. | |
|
The experiment concluded 25 days after transplantation into larger pots. At the time of harvest, data were collected on plant height, the number of leaves per plant, and fresh plant weight. Results indicated that plants treated with Nurture Growth Biofertilizer exhibited enhanced growth compared to the control group. Specifically, treated plants showed an 18.8% increase in plant height, a 47.7% increase in the bulb size, and a 36.3% increase in fresh plant weight. These findings suggest that Nurture Growth Biofertilizer positively influences both germination and subsequent growth in radish plants.
