Harness the power of the sea, the most diverse place on earth! This excerpt is from a provider of pure sea minerals (living sea salt). There are many ways to obtain high quality salts, not just the website where this came from. ANY unprocessed, natural, sun-dried, sea salt (harvested from an actual ocean) will do. I use Celtic Sea Salt. Seaweed can also be used this way with fantastic results (do not wash off the salt). But i want to attribute all the data in this excerpt to the owner and writers of it as well; they can be found at www.seaagri.com I thoroughly believe in their data and concepts, and I post this info to you guys out of my heart and soul. This applies to your foods as well. "All the worlds problems can be solved in a garden." ~ [FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Geoff Lawton
[/FONT][FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Q. What is [/FONT][FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif][FONT=Times New Roman, Times, serif][SIZE=+1]SEA-90[/SIZE][/FONT][/FONT] [FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]and how is it produced?
A. [/FONT][FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif][FONT=Times New Roman, Times, serif][SIZE=+1]SEA-90[/SIZE][/FONT][/FONT][FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif] sea mineral solids are natural crystals produced through solar dehydration of H20 from sea water contained in retention ponds. [/FONT][FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif][FONT=Times New Roman, Times, serif][SIZE=+1]SEA-90 [/SIZE][/FONT][/FONT][FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]differs from all other mineral sea salt currently on the market because it is created from a sea considered to be one of the most mineral-rich and pollution-free on earth, in an arid environment where temperatures continually exceed 100 degrees F with an annual rainfall of less than one-half inch. [FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif][FONT=Times New Roman, Times, serif][SIZE=+1]SEA-90[/SIZE][/FONT][/FONT] is not mined from the remnants of an ancient dried sea bottom where leaching inevitably occurred and decreased the number of periodic table elements. [FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif][FONT=Times New Roman, Times, serif][SIZE=+1]SEA-90[/SIZE][/FONT][/FONT] is produced twice each year from fresh sea water that naturally floods our estuary. The following pictures were taken in August 2008 when we received our most recent supply of sea water. During the past four years, SeaAgri worked diligently to perfect the capture and production of the highest quality sea mineral solids avaialble. In 2009, we anticipate the ability to supply five million tons of [FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif][FONT=Times New Roman, Times, serif][SIZE=+1]SEA-90[/SIZE][/FONT][/FONT] to our customers globally.
Q. What is the difference between [/FONT][FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif][FONT=Times New Roman, Times, serif][SIZE=+1]SEA-90 [/SIZE][/FONT][/FONT][FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif] and other sea water products currently offered to growers?
A. Many companies sell sea water to farmers and hydroponic growers for foliar application for as much as $80 per gallon with instructions to dilute to 1/100 prior to application. By dissolving seven ounces of [FONT=Times New Roman, Times, serif][SIZE=+1]S[/SIZE][/FONT][/FONT][FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif][FONT=Times New Roman, Times, serif][SIZE=+1]EA-90 [/SIZE][/FONT][/FONT][FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]in one gallon of water sea water is created for less than $ .50. If these other sea water products are super concentrated to 10 times normal sea water, the cost of the same [/FONT][FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif][FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif][FONT=Times New Roman, Times, serif][SIZE=+1]SEA-90[/SIZE][/FONT][/FONT][/FONT][FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif] solution is still less than $5. Some sea water companies claim [FONT=Times New Roman, Times, serif][SIZE=+1]S[/SIZE][/FONT][/FONT][FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif][FONT=Times New Roman, Times, serif][SIZE=+1]EA-90[/SIZE][/FONT] is inferior due to the heat generated during solar dehydration. On the contrary, marine biologists advise [/FONT][FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Sea[/FONT][FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Agri[/FONT] [FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]that common ocean algae is regenerated and becomes live when [FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif][FONT=Times New Roman, Times, serif][SIZE=+1]SEA-90[/SIZE][/FONT][/FONT] is dissolved in water. Other sea water salespeople state that [FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif][FONT=Times New Roman, Times, serif][SIZE=+1]SEA-90[/SIZE][/FONT][/FONT] contains pollutants because it is created with coastal water. At this time, [/FONT][FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Sea[/FONT][FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Agri's [/FONT][FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif][FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif][FONT=Times New Roman, Times, serif][SIZE=+1]SEA-90[/SIZE][/FONT][/FONT] is the only sea mineral product that claims and provides university lab data results as pollution free. Some sea water companies claim to be organic or organic certified--a claim and certification that does not exist. [FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif][FONT=Times New Roman, Times, serif][SIZE=+1]SEA-90[/SIZE][/FONT][/FONT] is listed as approved on the NOP USDA products list as sea salt and is OMRI Listed for the organic production of crops and livestock.

Q. What is the difference between [/FONT][FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif][FONT=Times New Roman, Times, serif][SIZE=+1]SEA-90 [/SIZE][/FONT][/FONT][FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif] and other mineral salts for livestock that claim to originate from the sea?
A. Several companies sell mineral salts for animal consumption and call their product sea salt. However, their source is an ancient sea buried beneath the earth's surface millions of years ago. Due to the age of these deposits and leaching by ground water during millions of years since their creation, their minerals and trace elements are not perfectly balanced and are significantly reduced in number from that of sea water and [FONT=Times New Roman, Times, serif][SIZE=+1]S[/SIZE][/FONT][/FONT][FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif][FONT=Times New Roman, Times, serif][SIZE=+1]EA-90[/SIZE][/FONT][/FONT][FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]. The mineral and trace element balance, ratios, and content of [/FONT][FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif][FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif][FONT=Times New Roman, Times, serif][SIZE=+1]SEA-90[/SIZE][/FONT][/FONT][/FONT][FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif] is essentially the same as the sea water from which it is created. No minerals or trace elements are leached away. [FONT=Times New Roman, Times, serif][SIZE=+1]S[/SIZE][/FONT][/FONT][FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif][FONT=Times New Roman, Times, serif][SIZE=+1]EA-90[/SIZE][/FONT] is the only true sea salt used in agriculture.

Q. Is [/FONT][FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif][FONT=Times New Roman, Times, serif][SIZE=+1]SEA-90[/SIZE][/FONT][/FONT][FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif] exactly the same as Dr. Murray’s Sea Solids?[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]A. Yes, Dr. Murray disclosed the location of the mineral deposits to Robert Cain of SeaAgri in 1979, and sent him there to arrange for importation. Robert returned to the same location in 2003 and 2005 and once again arranged for importation of the Sea Solids, which are now called [/FONT][FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif][FONT=Times New Roman, Times, serif][SIZE=+1]SEA-90[/SIZE][/FONT][/FONT][FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]. The mineral composition of the seawater in the Sea of Cortez has not changed in the past 50 years and there is no industry or pollution present so we feel confident [/FONT][FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif][FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif][FONT=Times New Roman, Times, serif][SIZE=+1]SEA-90[/SIZE][/FONT][/FONT][/FONT][FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif] is exactly the same as Dr. Murray used in his experiments.[/FONT]

Q. Is [/FONT][FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif][FONT=Times New Roman, Times, serif][SIZE=+1]SEA-90[/SIZE][/FONT][/FONT][FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif] approved for use in organic agriculture?[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]A. Yes, [/FONT][FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif][FONT=Times New Roman, Times, serif][SIZE=+1]SEA-90[/SIZE][/FONT][/FONT][FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif] is a natural mined, unprocessed and nonsynthetic mineral, and is listed by the USDA as organic sea salt and by the Organic Materials Review Institute (OMRI) for use in production of organic food and fiber.

Q. How much [/FONT][FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif][FONT=Times New Roman, Times, serif][SIZE=+1]SEA-90[/SIZE][/FONT][/FONT][FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif] should I apply to my garden, cropland or pasture?[/FONT]
Q. Why are the trace elements contained in [/FONT][FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif][FONT=Times New Roman, Times, serif][SIZE=+1]SEA-90[/SIZE][/FONT][/FONT][FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif] important?[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]A. Trace elements, usually less than one-tenth of one percent, exert powerful influences far beyond their quantity. Scientific understanding of the role of trace elements in plant and human physiology is new and emerged slowly during the last century. It is known that 16 trace elements have critical biological functions, but many more are suspected to play a role in cellular function and molecular design. (more info Murray Olarsch)[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Q. Why doesn’t the salt, sodium chloride, in [/FONT][FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif][FONT=Times New Roman, Times, serif][SIZE=+1]SEA-90[/SIZE][/FONT][/FONT][FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif] harm the soil and crops?[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]A. As a result of extensive research, Dr. Murray discovered that soil microbiological activity and plant growth and development is enhanced when the concentration of sodium chloride in seawater derived [/FONT][FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif][FONT=Times New Roman, Times, serif][SIZE=+1]SEA-90[/SIZE][/FONT][/FONT][FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif] is applied at specific rates and in specific dilutions as a foliar spray and in hydroponic solutions.

[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Q. How does [/FONT][FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif][FONT=Times New Roman, Times, serif][SIZE=+1]SEA-90[/SIZE][/FONT][/FONT][FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif] differ from common salt?[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]A. Common table salt is pure white crystals of highly refined sodium chloride. [/FONT][FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif][FONT=Times New Roman, Times, serif][SIZE=+1]SEA-90[/SIZE][/FONT][/FONT][FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif] is dehydrated seawater in its purest state. It is not a single metal salt but a mixture of 90+ elements in the sea’s perfect proportions. The lightest elements (sodium, potassium, calcium and magnesium) are totally balanced with the trace elements (copper, chromium, zinc, manganese, selenium, cobalt, molybdenum, etc, etc).[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]
Q. How does [/FONT][FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif][FONT=Times New Roman, Times, serif][SIZE=+1]SEA-90[/SIZE][/FONT][/FONT][FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif] differ from rock powders?[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]A. All mineral salts originate in rock. However, a rock powder that contains the full spectrum of elements found in the sea does not exist. [/FONT][FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif][FONT=Times New Roman, Times, serif][SIZE=+1]SEA-90[/SIZE][/FONT][/FONT][FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif] as dehydraded sea water is water-soluble. As a result, all nutrients available in mineral rich sea water are immediately available to soil life and plants.Therefore, [/FONT][FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif][FONT=Times New Roman, Times, serif][SIZE=+1]SEA-90[/SIZE][/FONT][/FONT][FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif] is more mineral and trace element rich. Unlike rock powders [/FONT][FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif][FONT=Times New Roman, Times, serif][SIZE=+1]SEA-90[/SIZE][/FONT][/FONT] [FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]can be utilized as a foliar spray.[/FONT]

[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]A. Yes, Robert Cain created hydroponics formulas under Dr. Murrays guidance utilizing both seawater and [/FONT][FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif][FONT=Times New Roman, Times, serif][SIZE=+1] SEA-90[/SIZE][/FONT][/FONT][FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif].

[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Q. Were the mineral beds destroyed by a flood of the Colorado River during the 1980’s that deposited a foot of silt over the deposits?
[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]A. It is true that the beds were flooded and covered by silt in the 1980’s, but with no lasting or detrimental effects on the mining of sea minerals. Dr. Murray chose this site for several reasons. The Sea of Cortez is one of the richest seas on earth with regard to marine life and mineral composition. Over time, trillions of tons of mineral-rich top soil from the Colorado River were deposited into the Sea of Cortez. In addition, geo-thermal vents at the bottom of the sea along the fault line that divides the Baja from the mainland of Mexico constantly add even more minerals and trace elements. The mine area, at one foot below sea level, floods several times every year. [FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif][FONT=Times New Roman, Times, serif]SEA-90[/FONT][/FONT] is created in a totally natural, unpolluted environment that is one of the driest on earth. Since this area receives less than one inch of rainfall (no leaching) with average temperatures in excess of 100 degrees Fahrenheit, dehydration occurs very quickly preserving biological life. Every three months a new deposit is ready for collection. [/FONT][FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Sea[/FONT][FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Agri[/FONT][FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif] mines [/FONT][FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif][FONT=Times New Roman, Times, serif]SEA-90[/FONT][/FONT][FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif] from these newly created deposits to insure its purity and optimum mineral composition.
Q. Does [FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif][FONT=Times New Roman, Times, serif]SEA-90[/FONT][/FONT] always APPEAR the same?
A. No, [/FONT]SEA-90 [FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]is pure dehydrated seawater created naturally in a desert estuary by tidal movements. Therefore, color variations occur based on the speed of currents and tides moving the water and wind conditions. The color of SEA-90 varies from pure white to various shades of beige, and at times contains small amounts of wind-carried sediment.
[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]A.[/FONT]This is a common problem with a simple answer, “add more water”. Remember [FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]SEA-90[/FONT] is dehydrated sea water as sea solids in nature’s perfect balance. Five ounces [FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]SEA-90[/FONT] dissolved in one gallon water recreates pure seawater. That is essentially the same as one pound [FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]SEA-90[/FONT] in three gallons of water. If the ratio of salt to water is greater, then a super saline solution is created and the solids stop going into solution or dissolving. The sea maintains perfect mineral balance due to the fact that whenever any element is present in excess it precipitates out of solution or falls to the bottom of the sea. Another factor to consider is the hardness and salinity of your water source. Hard water contains more minerals and therefore accepts less [FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]SEA-90[/FONT] in solution. The harder your water, the more minerals present. Therefore, you might find that you can only dissolve one pound in four or five gallons of water. We suggest conducting a test in a white five gallon bucket of your water. Add one pound of [FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]SEA-90[/FONT] and dissolve it completely. Then add more [FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]SEA-90[/FONT] one-half pound at a time
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Q. In his research trials, Dr. Murray applied sea solids ([FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]SEA-90[/FONT]) as a broadcast fertilizer and incorporated it into the soil. Now you are suggesting we dissolve [FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]SEA-90[/FONT] and spray it onto our crops. Should we spray onto the soil prior to planting or onto the crops as during the growing season, and can we expect the same results?
A. [/FONT]Dissolving [FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]SEA-90[/FONT] and applying in solution as a foliar spray is a new application method that gained momentum this past year due to the research many of our customers conducted on their farms and gardens. The results are outstanding, and the cost of application averaging less than $1.50 per acre for most ranchers and farmers is very exciting coupled with the results. Foliarly applying [FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]SEA-90[/FONT] remineralizes the plant from the top down rather than from the ground up. We believe that remineralization through broadcast application is the best long term fix for our soils. However, foliar applications offer a significantly lower cost alternative for many farmers and gardeners during this time of rising fuel costs plus accomplishes the remineralization of soils and increases the nutrient density of the forage, fruits or vegetables. It was stated that mineral foliar sprays can move up to one foot per hour in the plant's vascular system when applied at the proper time (late afternoon to sundown) when the stomata are wide open. Pasture grasses can supply up to 100 elements if they are available in the soil. By foliar applying [FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]SEA-90[/FONT] sea minerals to pasture grasses as a foliar spray the grass is bathed in 92+ elements increasing the nutrient density to maximum levels. Many of our customers report that livestock grazing on pastures enriched with foliar application of [FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]SEA-90[/FONT] refuse all mineral supplements as long as the livestock have that pasture grass to forage. An organic vegetable grower reported that he raised the Brix reading on his tomatoes from three to 10 with only foliar application. We know that some of the spray reaches the soil along with the plant matter as it decays to provide the elements and trace minerals to soil life and eventually enriching the soil.

[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]A. As a result of extensive research, Dr. Murray discovered that soil microbiological activity and plant growth and development is enhanced when the concentration of sodium chloride in seawater derived [/FONT][FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif][FONT=Times New Roman, Times, serif][SIZE=+1]SEA-90[/SIZE][/FONT][/FONT][FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif] is applied at specific rates and in specific dilutions as a foliar spray and in hydroponic solutions.

[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Q. How does [/FONT][FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif][FONT=Times New Roman, Times, serif][SIZE=+1]SEA-90[/SIZE][/FONT][/FONT][FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif] differ from common salt?[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]A. Common table salt is pure white crystals of highly refined sodium chloride. [/FONT][FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif][FONT=Times New Roman, Times, serif][SIZE=+1]SEA-90[/SIZE][/FONT][/FONT][FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif] is dehydrated seawater in its purest state. It is not a single metal salt but a mixture of 90+ elements in the sea’s perfect proportions. The lightest elements (sodium, potassium, calcium and magnesium) are totally balanced with the trace elements (copper, chromium, zinc, manganese, selenium, cobalt, molybdenum, etc, etc).[/FONT]

Q. How does [/FONT][FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif][FONT=Times New Roman, Times, serif][SIZE=+1]SEA-90[/SIZE][/FONT][/FONT][FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif] differ from rock powders?[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]A. All mineral salts originate in rock. However, a rock powder that contains the full spectrum of elements found in the sea does not exist. [/FONT][FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif][FONT=Times New Roman, Times, serif][SIZE=+1]SEA-90[/SIZE][/FONT][/FONT][FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif] as dehydraded sea water is water-soluble. As a result, all nutrients available in mineral rich sea water are immediately available to soil life and plants.Therefore, [/FONT][FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif][FONT=Times New Roman, Times, serif][SIZE=+1]SEA-90[/SIZE][/FONT][/FONT][FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif] is more mineral and trace element rich. Unlike rock powders [/FONT][FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif][FONT=Times New Roman, Times, serif][SIZE=+1]SEA-90[/SIZE][/FONT][/FONT] [FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]can be utilized as a foliar spray.[/FONT]

[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Q. Were the mineral beds destroyed by a flood of the Colorado River during the 1980’s that deposited a foot of silt over the deposits?
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]A. It is true that the beds were flooded and covered by silt in the 1980’s, but with no lasting or detrimental effects on the mining of sea minerals. Dr. Murray chose this site for several reasons. The Sea of Cortez is one of the richest seas on earth with regard to marine life and mineral composition. Over time, trillions of tons of mineral-rich top soil from the Colorado River were deposited into the Sea of Cortez. In addition, geo-thermal vents at the bottom of the sea along the fault line that divides the Baja from the mainland of Mexico constantly add even more minerals and trace elements. The mine area, at one foot below sea level, floods several times every year. [FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif][FONT=Times New Roman, Times, serif]SEA-90[/FONT][/FONT] is created in a totally natural, unpolluted environment that is one of the driest on earth. Since this area receives less than one inch of rainfall (no leaching) with average temperatures in excess of 100 degrees Fahrenheit, dehydration occurs very quickly preserving biological life. Every three months a new deposit is ready for collection. [/FONT][FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Sea[/FONT][FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Agri[/FONT][FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif] mines [/FONT][FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif][FONT=Times New Roman, Times, serif]SEA-90[/FONT][/FONT][FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif] from these newly created deposits to insure its purity and optimum mineral composition.
Q. Does [FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif][FONT=Times New Roman, Times, serif]SEA-90[/FONT][/FONT] always APPEAR the same?
A. No, [/FONT]SEA-90 [FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]is pure dehydrated seawater created naturally in a desert estuary by tidal movements. Therefore, color variations occur based on the speed of currents and tides moving the water and wind conditions. The color of SEA-90 varies from pure white to various shades of beige, and at times contains small amounts of wind-carried sediment.

[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Q. Why does [FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif][FONT=Times New Roman, Times, serif]SEA-90[/FONT][/FONT] appear to act as a pesticide and fungicide when used as a foliar spray?
A. In our world, insects and diseases play important roles. They are attracted to weak and sick organisms and destroy them. The weak and sick are killed off and the healthy and strong are left to reproduce, thereby, improving the gene pool. When [/FONT]SEA-90 [FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]is applied as a foliar spray to a plant's leaf surface and/or incorporated into the soil, the plant metabolizes many of the 90 plus minerals and trace elements into its sap or fluid. Once these minerals and trace elements are incorporated into the plant's chemistry, the plant becomes healthier and its sap or fluid becomes infinitely more complex. Insects and fungal diseases, due to their simple physiology, cannot digest this complex mixture. Therefore, they leave these plants alone and attack and destroy the weaker plants without the complex chemistry. This could explain why plants that exhibit a higher Brix reading are less prone to insect and disease problems. Another reason SEA-90 might be effective as a foliar spray in combating insects and diseases is that the NaCl acts as a desiccant, thereby, directly interacts with insects and fungus causing it to die back due to lack of available moisture.
Q. What is the difference between SeaAgri's product [FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif][FONT=Times New Roman, Times, serif]SEA-90[/FONT][/FONT] and other sea water products commonly sold at organic agricultural conferences?
A. There are many companies that sell sea water products. They are affiliated with us only through their promotion of utilizing minerals from the sea in agriculture. The cost of bottled ocean water is approximately $50-$100 per gallon. Our product, [/FONT]SEA-90, [FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]contains all the minerals and trace elements found in the sea in a naturally dehydraded, water soluable crystal form. You can recreate one gallon of mineral rich sea water by dissolving less than $1.00 worth of SEA-90 in one gallon of water. Some companies also claim that SEA-90 is inferior because it can only be applied to the soil, whereas their product is applied foliarly at a significantly reduced cost. SEA-90 can be dissolved and applied foliarly at a rate of 2.5-3.5 pounds per acre costing between $2 and $3 per acre--significantly less than ocean water. Bottled sea water companies also claim that sea water is better because biological life is still present. However, we found that when SEA-90 is dissolved in water, biological life from the sea returns to the solution. SEA-90 is unique because you have numerous delivery options available in your efforts to remineralize your soil, crops and livestock. Choose one or more that fit your application needs and budget.
Q. What is Ocean Trace and how does it differ from SEA-90 or "sea solids."
A. Ocean Trace is a sea mineral product that is available through our website. Another name for this type of solution is "bitterns", and it is created naturally during the production of SEA-90 (sea solids). At our mine, we create beds of sea salt as the bases of our rentention ponds. We then flood the retention ponds with fresh sea water. As the ponds heat up in the 100 degree F temperatures, the sodium choride crystallizes and rises or blooms carrying minerals and trace elements to the surface of the sea water. This process is quite colorful and very beautiful to witness. The sea solids, SEA-90, solidifes from the surface down so there is always moisture below. We allow the sea solids to form until there is a thin layer of moisture so we can easily harvest sea solids from the area without disturbing the sea salt base in the retention pond. This layer of moisture is "Bitterns" (the Mother Liquor) that was used for natural healing for centuries. If you want more information, you can purchase the "Sea Salt's Hidden Powers" from ACRES USA. This book explains the process in detail. You can creat your own Bitterns once you have SEA-90. Take 10 lbs in a canvas bag and submerge in water. Then hang to dry and collect the drippings that are Bitterns. The Asians call this product Nagari and use it to create Tofu.

[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]A.[/FONT]This is a common problem with a simple answer, “add more water”. Remember [FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]SEA-90[/FONT] is dehydrated sea water as sea solids in nature’s perfect balance. Five ounces [FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]SEA-90[/FONT] dissolved in one gallon water recreates pure seawater. That is essentially the same as one pound [FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]SEA-90[/FONT] in three gallons of water. If the ratio of salt to water is greater, then a super saline solution is created and the solids stop going into solution or dissolving. The sea maintains perfect mineral balance due to the fact that whenever any element is present in excess it precipitates out of solution or falls to the bottom of the sea. Another factor to consider is the hardness and salinity of your water source. Hard water contains more minerals and therefore accepts less [FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]SEA-90[/FONT] in solution. The harder your water, the more minerals present. Therefore, you might find that you can only dissolve one pound in four or five gallons of water. We suggest conducting a test in a white five gallon bucket of your water. Add one pound of [FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]SEA-90[/FONT] and dissolve it completely. Then add more [FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]SEA-90[/FONT] one-half pound at a time
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Q. In his research trials, Dr. Murray applied sea solids ([FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]SEA-90[/FONT]) as a broadcast fertilizer and incorporated it into the soil. Now you are suggesting we dissolve [FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]SEA-90[/FONT] and spray it onto our crops. Should we spray onto the soil prior to planting or onto the crops as during the growing season, and can we expect the same results?
A. [/FONT]Dissolving [FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]SEA-90[/FONT] and applying in solution as a foliar spray is a new application method that gained momentum this past year due to the research many of our customers conducted on their farms and gardens. The results are outstanding, and the cost of application averaging less than $1.50 per acre for most ranchers and farmers is very exciting coupled with the results. Foliarly applying [FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]SEA-90[/FONT] remineralizes the plant from the top down rather than from the ground up. We believe that remineralization through broadcast application is the best long term fix for our soils. However, foliar applications offer a significantly lower cost alternative for many farmers and gardeners during this time of rising fuel costs plus accomplishes the remineralization of soils and increases the nutrient density of the forage, fruits or vegetables. It was stated that mineral foliar sprays can move up to one foot per hour in the plant's vascular system when applied at the proper time (late afternoon to sundown) when the stomata are wide open. Pasture grasses can supply up to 100 elements if they are available in the soil. By foliar applying [FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]SEA-90[/FONT] sea minerals to pasture grasses as a foliar spray the grass is bathed in 92+ elements increasing the nutrient density to maximum levels. Many of our customers report that livestock grazing on pastures enriched with foliar application of [FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]SEA-90[/FONT] refuse all mineral supplements as long as the livestock have that pasture grass to forage. An organic vegetable grower reported that he raised the Brix reading on his tomatoes from three to 10 with only foliar application. We know that some of the spray reaches the soil along with the plant matter as it decays to provide the elements and trace minerals to soil life and eventually enriching the soil.
, I'm gonna attempt to use nothing but sea water mixed with normal water at a 50/1 ratio. Hopefully its succefull, will save me alot on ferts
