INSTAGrowth Use in Agriculture
INSTAGrowth has been designed mainly with the progressive organic farmer who wants to go Beyond Organic. However, techniques and products can be confidently implemented by conventional farmers as well. It is what we call the 21st Century Breakthru Eco-system or “Balanced System” — designed to break the mold and instigate change through rational thinking that is logical for all levels of plant propagation, production, and animal/human food quality.
This practice works in various degrees, because the natural cycles must be recognized and adjusted to. The basic concepts are to manage the land, understand the soil pedogenesis, crop history, weeds, soil chemistry, biochemistry, and tissue analyses; determine the highest and best use of the land in its current condition; and decide future crop rotations. In essence, develop a roadmap for regeneration of the soils into a balanced, sustainable, profitable system that benefits producers, clients, and the planet.
Understanding the above points provides for a viable future for all, by working with nature rather than implementing “gorilla agriculture” that is at war with the environment for solely capitalistic reasons. Bigger tractors, more chemicals, and more fertilizers do nothing more than push against the natural bent of the land — eventually nature will reset the system.
The health of the soil and production depends on understanding and managing the land potential, the soil buffering capacity, and the biotic activity that ultimately determines how much energy is harnessed through transformations, translocations, and transmutations along the carbon cycle.

With frequent applications of INSTAGrowth, the soil will rebound to maintain a substantial margin of available minerals. Consultation is available on request. (Contact us at info@break-thru.tech.)
- INSTAGrowth’s general formulation may be used on all crops.
- INSTAGrowth should be used to minimize transplant shock, and can even be used as a base for N.P.K. or trace element additives. (See INSTAGrowth X-Factor.)
- INSTAGrowth improves seed germination vigor and helps release essential nutrients to plants.
- Aerial spraying or boom spraying is highly recommended, and is beneficial for both plants and soil.
- INSTAGrowth can be used in conjunction with the G.E.M. process to further assist in seedling establishment.
INSTAGrowth for the Home Gardener
INSTAGrowth is a general formulation for all plants — from turf, trees, flowers, shrubs, and vegetables to even cut flowers. It starts the cycle by acting as a medium in transporting existing soil nutrients to plants and creating a hospitable environment for beneficial microbes both on the plant and in the soil, developing a beneficial state of fungistasis.
Soaking seeds in a diluted solution (1,500/1) improves germination rates and provides a flying start for seedlings. It also satisfies “hidden hungers” in plants requiring nutrient boosts at times of stress. A foliar spray at 200/1 can be used as a rescue remedy during times of stress. Bi-weekly foliar applications of 200/1 will increase flowering, fruit production, quality of all produce, and cold tolerance.
For perennials, fall root injections increase winter hardiness and massively increase flowering and production the following spring. Spring or summer root applications are suggested when starting an INSTAGrowth program, moving to fall/end-of-season applications after the first year for all trees. (See Usage Guide.)
Caution must be taken with fall or spring root applications, as excessive amounts will promote growth beyond what the plant stock or trunk can handle. A gradual year-by-year increase is recommended until adequate tree size is achieved. Excess amounts should only be used when a tree is under severe stress requiring emergency revival.
For ornamentals, a foliar spray at 200/1 every second week during the growing season will result in increased color, size, fragrance, and cold tolerance. Less fungal and insect damage will be noticed simultaneously with regular use. With experienced use, a combination of INSTAGrowth and INSTAGrowth X-Factor can address different fertilizer requirements to refine production quality and quantity while continuing to reduce insect and pathogen damage.
Caution: Multiple diluted applications are best. Excess INSTAGrowth can put the plant in shock and benefits may not be seen.
The Balance Sheet Concept
Current agriculture philosophy wages a war on unwanted species and views the environment as just a “Balance Sheet.” It accepts the chemistry argument: “Nothing can be created or destroyed,” concluding that solutions must come through chemical additions or genetic manipulation. This is nothing more than asset and liability thinking.
It does not consider that nitrogen fertilizers throw the soil into imbalance, changing the pH that redistributes bacterial populations and effectively burns up soil organic matter, leaving soil hard and lifeless. Food crops grown under these conditions force plants into unhealthy growth cycles where the emphasis is on maximizing yields and profits alone.
To discover the reality, one must understand some basic plant physiology. All nutrients move into the plant through water in humic or fulvic forms. A physical electron exchange occurs between the plant and the soil particle — referred to as the Cation Exchange Capacity (CEC) of the soil. Roots naturally grow along the earth’s magnetic field, aligning for the greatest electron transfer.
As a seed or plant absorbs moisture, ionization occurs — the process where elements are moved systematically from one location to another, a type of natural electroplating. Each plant has a distinct ratio of nutrients required for a healthy balanced system. Predation and plant health are directly correlated to the brix or sugar level in the plant. Low sugar levels signal a succulent, weakened state (caused by high nitrogen levels), making plants attractive to pests.
The economics of INSTAGrowth help balance soil dynamics and nutrient uptake so that the correct democratic absorption of nutrients occurs. This results in healthy, disease- and pest-resistant plants that produce higher bushel weights. Now more than ever, we need to restore this “life force” to our soils — and INSTAGrowth does just that, providing a comfortable environment for earthworms and beneficial organisms that build up humus for plant health.
The Balanced System / Eco-System Approach
Present organic practices embrace some of this new thinking and use part of what is called a “Balanced System” approach. Organic farming leans on the Balance Sheet by requiring copious amounts of manure, compost, or other organics prior to planting to resuscitate life back into the soil. Basic organics work to varying degrees; however, the natural mineral cycles of soil pedogenesis are often overlooked, as are the natural crop rotation cycles and the mutual beneficial and symbiotic relationships between organisms.
Managing the complicated mechanism of oscillating population density dynamics of micro and macro organism activity in soils ultimately influences plant development and nutritional quality. Breakthru Technology completes the “Balanced System” approach by incorporating 20th century physics — demonstrating that “Nothing can be created or destroyed, but can be changed.”
The complete Balanced System embraces that all organisms have purpose and a place. It is the “Gaia Theory” or “Mother Earth” philosophy of organics — encompassing how transmutations of elements and the interaction of organisms occur. In agricultural production, higher soil organic matter determines soil buffering capacity: the reserve that determines moisture retention and resistance to water/wind erosion. Indirectly, INSTAGrowth influences soil organic matter through increased root development and plant growth.
High earthworm populations break down organic matter into food for plants, just as our own intestines break down organic matter that feeds us. Earthworm activity balances soil chemistry and biochemistry. The more man-made chemicals are put in the soil, the harder it is for worms and their related bacteria to survive.
The construction of a Balanced System is what makes INSTAGrowth superior. Breakthru Technology’s INSTAGrowth Eco-system advantage is a true “Balanced System” that looks at what 21st century physics shows: that all matter was created. This approach views the universe as acting as a cohesive unit, explaining how energies move through our space/time continuum.
In conclusion, INSTAGrowth is a 100% concentration of natural soil components that initiate beneficial responses in the soil and plants. With frequent applications, the soil maintains a high concentration of earthworm and microbial activity to ensure the constant breaking down of organic soil matter into humus, keeping the soil alive and productive and enabling crops to supply the “life force” for human health.
