blends is a plant growing
system that combines a unique system of sound
with a variety of organic nutrient applications, producing healthier plants and crops much
more quickly and naturally.
And the result? The
Plant Magic® system dramatically enhances the yield, taste, shelf life and nutritional
content of your fruits and vegetables, while helping to reduce watering
and fertilizer use.
Tests prove it. Plants
treated with
Sound Magic®
and the
Plant Magic® blends can absorb more
nutrients than untreated plants
Does Sonic Bloom pay off?
With Sonic Bloom you can expect
improved yields from 20 to 200% with a cost per acre per season of
from $80 to $120 which includes the amortized life of the Sonic
Bloom sound unit. This is for a full program for field and row
crops so a yield increase of just 2% and 10% is all that's necessary
to cover the cost of treatment. When you consider early maturity,
drought resistance, increased pest and disease resistance, higher
nutrient levels and associated taste improvement, extended
shelf-life and rapid balanced growth, you can see how a Sonic Bloom
investment really pays.
How does Sonic Bloom work?
Sonic Bloom is a patented concept uses specific sound
frequencies, which were found to be similar to those of birds'
songs, to stimulate and increase the rate at which plants absorb
nutrients.
Sonic Bloom includes an organic nutrient
spray specially formulated to ensure maximum and easy absorption of
64 trace elements and minerals that provide a properly balanced and
nutritional diet for your plants.
An apple grower in southwest Wisconsin
who has used Sonic over 8 years, claims larger, healthier trees with
increased yields, less insect problems, higher sugar levels, earlier
maturity, reduced fertilizer use, and an improved shelf life.
Whereas the state average seasonal yield is 290 bushels per acre,
this grower regularly exceeds 400 bushels per acre. Lab reports
reveal that the apples he grew using Sonic Bloom boast increases of
400% in copper, 1750% in zinc, 300% in chromium and 126% in
potassium. Shelf life jumped from 30 days to 5 months.
100% increase in production of tea
and rice in Indonesia.
A tomato grower in Arkansas observed
that average greenhouse crop yield increased from 9,000 to 19,000
pounds. Once picked, these tomatoes stay unspoiled up to three times
as long as untreated tomatoes and he reported that there were no
problems with tomato diseases. |

THE SONIC BLOOM STORY
- Harry MacCormack
In our all too busy human lives probably few of us wonder how the
sounds of birds and crickets chirping invigorate plant life, and maybe
even our own life. I was reintroduced to this awareness as I listened
to the taped sounds created by Dan Carlson as part of his growth
product presentation of Sonic Bloom. The tape, containing pulsed
sound around 3,000 to 6,000 cycles, is best played between 5:30 and
9:00 a.m. for your plants in your house, greenhouse, garden, or over
large fields (Vikhanski, 1989). The plants react to the sound by
opening their stomata, the breathing pores on their leaves. Plant
reaction to this particular rhythmic sound pattern is so intense that
the stomata open an average of four times wider than normal. Carlson
discovered this phenomenon while doing research on plant growth at the
University of Minnesota in 1972. The difference between Carlson�s
recorded sounds and birds� sounds in the hours of dawn is the
difference between a flock of sparrows and a bugle sounding reverie.
Natural bird sounds encourage opening as they have done for as long as
plants and birds have lived in symbiosis. Carlson�s sounds shoot
through the dawn, waking up plants to their full stomatic potential.
Why is this discovery of the relationship of certain sounds and
stomatic opening important to growers? Growers have known for a long
time that feeding plants with liquid nutrient solutions stimulates
growth. For centuries, Chinese farmers relied on manure teas ladled
over plants in the early dawn or early evening hours to maintain
steady, lush growth. In modern times, both conventional chemical
nutrients and organic sprays are laid down by grown spray rigs and
airplanes in the early morning while the stomata are most open. The
stomata are almost exclusively on the leaves of plants. Their
function is to allow carbon dioxide to enter the leaves and oxygen to
escape, cooling the leaves. Foliar nutrients enter these open pores.
Foliar nutrient sprays also penetrate the cuticle waxy surfaces of
leaves (Ashmead, 1986). The mechanism by which foliar nutrients move
through plant layers to the plant cell wall is complex, but well
documented. When the stomata are opened by high frequency chirping
sounds, materials sprayed onto plants are easily incorporated into the
plant processes.
Part of this process is that cellular-based nutrients do not stay
trapped within the plant. Plant root exudates are feeding mineral
ions chemically linked with amino acid/peptide complexes to the
microorganisms in the root zone. These microbes are breaking down
organic and mineral complexes and making them available to pants.
This holistic process is temperature, moisture, light, and air
sensitive. Some of the variables in nutrient availability are offset
by feeding foliar nutrients while the stomata are most open. Several
of the many researchers that have studied Sonic Bloom have noted that
foliar feeding with the sound mechanism at the proper time of day
allows plants to reach their full genetic potential by removing stress
from the growing situation (Spillane, 1989). Noticeably, cool
temperatures and low light levels and drought are overcome.
So the sound system opens plants to foliar nutrition. The second part
of the Sonic Bloom system is a formulated foliar spray. Carlson
settled on a spray which is composed of 55 trace minerals, amino
acids, and seaweed. Dr. Alan Kapular, owner of Peace Seeds and
director of research for Seeds of Change, a researcher in the field of
Sonic Bloom, suspects that much of the phenomenal growth of plants and
trees attributed to the Sonic Bloom system is a result of seaweed
being made available to the cells of plants. The seaweed contains
gibberellins (gib as it is known among California grape growers who
have relied on it for years), known to enhance fruit set. Kapular
also points out that �in recent years, analysis of the fungi that grow
as mycorhiza on the roots of plants have shown that more than 95% of
the seed plants that grow on this planet have mycorhiza associated
with them� (Kapular, 1987). In his germination tests with Sonic
Bloom, Kapular is led to suggest that �a major natural germination
process is provided by fungi that provide gibberellins for the
germination process of seeds and the stimulation of early plant
growth. One suspects that many of our crops have been selected by
virtue of their seeds being able to germinate in the absence of the
natural mycotrophic fungi and hence the growth and germination. Kapular found that some seeds, the Chinese parasol tree and several
rare South American Solanum, germinated only in the presence of Sonic
Bloom. Gibberellin nutrients are there in our gardens on some level
as a result of plant, mineral, and organic matter and microbe
interactions. What Carlson makes available through Sonic Bloom is a
flush of nutrients in greater than background amounts.
Garbriel Howearth, the main gardener for the seed plots at Seeds of
Change, tested Sonic Bloom while running the test gardens at San Juan
Pueblo, New Mexico (Howearth, 1985). His test results show plants
maturing up to half a month early, with much greater yields from many
plants. Carolyn Ormsbee at Gardener�s Supply Company tested Sonic
Bloom and compared it with other foliar, seaweed-based sprays, both
with and without the sound system (Ormsbee, 1987). The sound system
coupled with the Carlson foliar formula gave far greater yields than
other foliar formulations. Neither the sound system by itself nor the
spray formula by itself was productive of any higher yield than other
sea-based foliar.
The quality of the yield is often spoken of by users of the Sonic
Bloom system. That is probably the result of trace mineral
availability. Good growing practices require that the grower monitor
nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium. All background mineral nutrients
must also be moving within the dynamic growing system. It is known
that when minerals are attached to amino acid chelate, as they are in
a seaweed-based foliar spray, there is greater penetration of the waxy
leaf coating on plants than would be predicted by simple diffusion (Ashmead,
1986). In chelated form, mineral-amino acid ligand have permeability
promoting properties. In other words, seaweed sprays can permeate the
cells where other compounds might not. Foliar nutrition is a great
tool of compensation, offsetting adverse growing conditions.
Many seasons our gardens and trees try to grow in less than optimum
conditions, whether it be in sudden cold, lack of light/heat hours,
drought, etc. The combination of seaweed spray for remineralization,
which affects harvested stability in fruits and vegetables, and the
addition of a growth hormone to stimulate maximum fruiting and yield
potential is ingenious. That a sound tape helps make all of this
potential a reality is a good use of the technology available in our
time.
Work by Kapular and Howearth in which they soaked seeds in Sonic Bloom
with and without the sound tape showed that treated seeds in many
cases grew to plants with double the yield in the field. Germinations
were often faster. In the field, spray applications on these crops
three to five times during the early growth to bloom stages generally
showed yield increases of from 20-100%.
When discussing Carlson's sound and foliar formula system, some
organic gardener friends wonder about the challenges it poses. For
one, is it possible to attract enough or the right kind of birds into
a garden area so that plants open their stomata without humanly
synthesized recordings?
Is it possible to build garden soils that function with superior
levels of fertility without foliar applications? Or are gardeners who
want the best and the most from the process in which they have
involved bound to yet another set of technologies?
For lunar organic gardeners and farmers still other questions are
raised by Carlson's system. What are the effects of spraying during
Moon phases? Are there bird cycles that are in sync with planetary
and Moon magnetics? Are the right kind of birds and bird sounds a
result of attractive crops? (On my farm when I grow millet, amaranth
and other small grains, I attract many more and different birds than I
do at other times.) If gibberellins are provided by soil fungi, is
there a particular time/cycle where these fungi are more active? Is
this one of the limiting factors in planting �out of the season,�
planting at times other than those established as good seeding times
in your particular micro climate?
Sonic Bloom is a gift and a challenge. It is a tool which can be
utilized by gardeners to bring about a healing in some gardens and
orchards. It should also make us think about natural mechanisms that
can and should be stimulated to make gardening and life more enjoyable
and more abundant.
