Design and administer amendment product testing and consult clients on growing methods, productions, environmental controls, cultivar strain selection & tissue culture/micropropagation. About GGTA: The Green Growers Technology Alliance (GGTA) is, more than anything, a network of biotech developers working to revolutionize agricultural growing and planning, especially in the area of organics. Cultivation is about raising your crops to produce the highest yield for the resources invested. Oftentimes though the harvest falls short of what you’d hoped for, particularly when you’re just starting out and don’t have the latest farming technology. We’ve tackled this issue head-on and developed Growth Enhanced Organics (GEO™). This line of organic vegetative amendments will fundamentally revolutionize the way cultivation and farming is done. We don’t say that lightly—other companies claim to offer new solutions and yet merely repackage the same types of nutrients/microbes, but GGTA isn’t a fertilizer and isn’t like anything you’ve seen before. The unique properties of the GEO™ line boost vegetative growth by 20-50% and plant root mass by 500-800%. Again though, make no mistake: these are not fertilizers. A fertilizer dumps nutrients into the soil for the plant to absorb at the root, polluting the soil and encouraging resistance in the plant in the process. By contrast, GEO™ products are biopolymer blends that facilitate the growth of a specific bacterial colony. These harmless bacteria produces auxins & cytokinins, the plant hormones responsible for elongating cells and regulating growth. Their presence stimulates the plant into taking full advantage of its resources and growing to its fullest potential.
