“I believe in the science behind TerraStar and used it for the first time in 2018. And I believe TerraStar contributed to some extent to my success this year, with good color uniformity and very good yields.” – Glenn Abbett, Red Gold Tomato Grower of the Year 2017
Why TerraStar works
TerraStar® Proven to Sustainably Enhance Grower Performance
TerraManus Technologies’ patented TerraStar Disk agricultural technology is proven to enhance grower performance while conserving soil and water resources. By “imprinting” tilled fields (think waffle) with TerraStar Disks, the soil is consolidated (not compacted) which enhances soil-seed and soil-root contact.
The imprints also hold water in place (like a waffle holds syrup). And since TerraStar usage reduces the soil’s bulk density and increases water-fill pour space, more moisture is sequestered in the soil (vs. evaporation). Finally, the surface area of the imprinted field is increased by over 30% (think waffle vs. pancake) which enhances access to the root zone for hydrogen, carbon and oxygen while increasing the beneficial impact of the sun. The result in over ten years of independent field testing is higher crop yields and improved plant health while managing water and mitigating soil erosion and runoff.
Earth has lost 30% of topsoil to erosion, irrigation is threatened by aquifer depletion, & over 1 billion people are undernourished. We develop technologies that manage water & soil resources while increasing crop yields & reducing costs for developed & developing world farmers. Working with US Commerce Dept, USAID & the Chinese Ministry of Ag, our clients are implement manufacturers, chemical companies, NGOs & lawn & garden retailers globally.
