Advanced Solutions for a Greener World

Phyto-Zyme

Our Vision:
We are committed to providing advanced technology for
the enhancement of global food production through
research and development as well as through
collaborations with academic institutions and industry
partners. Our vision is to supply breakthrough bio-catalytic
product formulations that contribute significantly to
reducing global food scarcity and simultaneously reducing
environmental damage from the overuse of chemical
fertilizers and pesticides.
Economic, societal, political and regulatory trends have
created a strong demand for viable innovative agricultural
solutions that address biodiversity, climate change
challenges and global food demand. New opportunities to
maximize returns on investment in urban, specialised and
traditional farm agriculture that will meet consumers'
demands are driving new innovations in growing
techniques.
There are major challenges humanity will have to face during the 21st century in meeting the growing
demands for food and nutrition. In many regions of the world, climate makes it highly difficult to meet the
requirements of their growing population. PhytoZyme provides an innovative and sustainable solution to
various food supply challenges facing our worlds growing population, and simultaneously combating
pollution inherent to large scale agriculture.
Phyto-Zyme is a technologically advanced plant growth enhancer new to the horticultural and agricultural
industry. The bio-catalytic composition of PhytoZyme offers a revolutionary technology for the
enhancement of the microbial health of soils and optimizing the bioavailability of nutrients. PhytoZyme
works with all types of grow mediums and is highly beneficial to hydroponic systems.

The Bio-Organic Catalyst Solution:

Phyto-Zyme is not an bacterial or enzyme formulation, but offers a highly enhanced broad spectrum
enzymatic reactions in water, organic wastes, and soils, providing multiple powerful benefits beyond those
possible by traditional enzymatic formulations, at a fraction of the price.
Phyto-Zyme is completely non-toxic to humans, animals, and plant life, Phyto-Zyme is "Not A Hazardous
Chemical" as defined by the OSHA Hazard Communication Standard, 29 CFR 1910.1200. From a bioaquatic perspective, Phyto-Zyme offers the highest safety profile, and actually contributes to ecological
restoration in water bodies and soils.
Multiple plant species have been tested in several types of grow mediums and systems. It is believed that
the benefits of Phyto-Zyme will carry across all types of growing operations, including; loamy soils,
hydroponic, aeroponic, aquaponic, sands, and manure.
Further testing is required to realize the full extent and potential of the Phyto-Zyme technology in the full
spectrum of agricultural operations. The results of our limited studies are documented here, yet are not
fully quantified, or have been subject to peer-reviewed studies.

Product Description:
Phyto-Zyme is manufactured by Bio-Organic Catalyst, Inc. (BOC), and is built upon the powerful biocatalytic capabilities of the BOC composition formulation of a specially designed fermentation supernatant,
derived from plants and minerals, which is then blended with surface modifying compounds, into a very
powerful bio-catalytic liquid concentrate. When introduced into water, the BOC product formulations create
highly self-organized and ultra-fine micro-bubbles, a highly reactive platform that allows an acceleration of
biological and chemical reactions to occur within multiple substrates.
Phyto-Zyme is delivered in very high dilutions
through watering systems so that its
implementation is extremely simple. The primary
benefits when used in soil are related to
improving the microbiological conditions within
the soil, thus directly impacting root growth and
the optimization of nutrient uptake.
Phyto-Zyme is a multipurpose product, designed
to enhance plant requirements and growing
conditions, providing accelerated plant growth in
soils, or any other grow mediums, including
hydroponic and aeroponic systems. Case studies have demonstrated harvested yield was 50% to 300%
greater than previous crops.

THE POWER IN NATURE

Phyto-Zyme
Phyto-Zyme offers superior plant growth enhancements, however PhytoZyme is not classified as a
fertilizer, rather PhytoZyme is a nutrient optimizer, molecular oxygen enhancer and biological soil
conditioner, that together provide a superior growth environment and maximum nutrient availability.
Phyto-Zyme maximizes plant health by providing maximum utilization of nutrients, while providing an
optimal grow environment. Plants will grow faster, generate higher yields and will be more resistant to
disease and insect infestation. Our studies have demonstrated increased survivability, enhanced root
growth, overall plant strength increased, healthy foliage and accelerated overall growth rates, all resulting
higher yields in much less time.
Phyto-Zyme has been used for years in golf course turf maintenance to solve the chronic issues of water
peculation, either preventing anaerobic conditions due to poor water peculation, or dry conditions due to
lack of adequate biomass health within the subsurface soils.
Recent studies in greenhouses with tomato plants and other vegetables have demonstrated increased
survivability to 100% and a doubling of (+200%) the produce grown.
Agricultural applications of the BOC compositions have been more limited compared to the extensive work
in water and waste treatment. Long-term studies are still required to quantify the full extent of the benefits
to soils and plant health; however the potential appears to be quite substantial.
A recent case study was performed in a controlled growing environment for the production of
pharmaceutical grade cannabis. This study demonstrated harvested product nearly tripled in weight
compared to previous crops; this has promoted our interest in offering Phyto-Zyme to the industry for
further investigation.
The potential of improving nitrogen fixation, thereby lowering the amount of fertilizer usage of nitrogen
required for optimal plant growth, is an area where the Company is investigating the use of Phyto-Zyme
use on a broad basis.
Additionally, the oxygen transfers enhancements, nutrient availability and breakdown of biological film
growth; offer exciting implications in Hydroponic, Aquaponic and Aeroponic type systems.
Some growth enhancement products on the market have been proven to stretch cellular growth, this will
result in larger plants and produce, but the plant structure is generally weaker with little gain in weight.
Phyto-Zyme enhances multi cellular growth that allows for strong and compact plants that leads to dense
cellular growth that increases weight and size equally.

Contamination:
Phyto-Zyme does not promote, contain or cause in any way bacterial and fungal contamination such as
E. coli, Salmonella and S. Aureus.
Phyto-Zyme also does not promote, contain or cause contamination from any metals and mycotoxins
(Aflatoxin B1, B2, G1, G2 and Ochratoxin A).
Phyto-Zyme will reduce the conditions that promote bacterial proliferation such as E. coli, Salmonella, S.
Aureus, and Pythium (root rot) in Hydroponic type systems.
Phyto-Zyme also reduces heavy metal exposure to plants in hydroponic type systems by breaking the
molecular bonds that hold metals in suspension thus reducing their contact and absorption through the
roots.

Phyto-Zyme Basics:

THE POWER IN NATURE

Phyto-Zyme
Phyto-Zyme improves general bio-chemical plant characteristics and a considerable increase in both
plant and produce production. Phyto-Zyme assists in a more complete utilization of available nutrients
and physiological reserves in plants that stimulates accelerated metabolic processes resulting in
enhanced production.

Non-Toxicity:
Phyto-Zyme is the BOC product line specially formulated for the agriculture market. As all BOC product
formulations have shown, PhytoZyme is 100% safe for the environment. It is non-toxic, non-caustic, noncorrosive, non-irritating, hypoallergenic, bacteria-free and biodegradable. The environmentally friendly
feature of the BOC products substantially reduces exposure and liability to the user, its workers and the
environment and does not trigger costly OSHA or hazardous material handling charges.

Product Delivery:
Phyto-Zyme is delivered in very high dilutions through watering systems, including hydroponic and
aeroponic systems. In these systems, simply add Phyto-Zyme a rate of 1 gallon per 500 gallons (1 x
400) of water - weekly.
For best results add Phyto-Zyme at the water outlet so it blends and hits the water surface in the main
storage tank. This will result in the formation of billions of micro-bubbles in solution that provides extremely
high oxygen transfer ability, eliminating the energy usage previously required to increase oxygen in
solution.
If air stones, ventures, power-heads or bubble walls/ air curtains, are used then inject Phyto-Zyme into
the airline; this will cause the formation of micro bubbles upon exit into the solution, dramatically
increasing oxygen and provide a method to dose in the product.

Large Scale Farming:

Rice, Corn, Sugar Cane, Grapes, Commodity Crops.
Our limited studies have demonstrated crop yields can be increased several times with Phyto-Zyme. The
concept of increasing yields through non traditional methods have been examined for many years such as
(SRI) System of Rice Intensification, an interrelated set of farming principles that rely on fewer seeds, less
water and a partial or complete shift from inorganic fertilizers to organic manures and compost.
Like SRI, Phyto-Zyme promotes better growth and health of plant roots and improves the microbial
health and activity of beneficial soil microorganisms. Phyto-Zyme goes beyond SRI by optimizing
nutrient availability and up-take plus increasing oxygen availability to the root structure thus maximizing
nutrient ions available for cellular growth. Case studies have demonstrated double to triple crop yields
using less than 25% of the usual amount of organic or inorganic fertilizers.
Phyto-Zyme is dossed at one gallon per acre through irrigation spray systems. Crops such as rice and
sugar cane that use irrigation ditches or flooding the area like rice terraces or rice paddies can accelerate
crop growth, increase plant health and increase yields far beyond attempting to increase production by
simply improving crop genomes, or applying more chemical fertilizer that mostly ends up polluting the
environment.
Organic growers using manure and compost will see exponential growth due to Phyto-Zymes ability to
accelerate the breakdown of organic additives making more nutrients available and increasing the roots
ability to absorb them, thus greatly increasing crop yields through boosting the natural process, not
increasing chemical usage promoting environmental pollution.

THE POWER IN NATURE

Phyto-Zyme
Phyto-Zyme works on multiple levels:
1, Phyto-Zyme is a molecular oxygen enhancer providing increased dissolved oxygen throughout the
nutrient solution.
2, Phyto-Zyme acts as a catalyst that provides plant support through an accelerated reactive breakdown
of organic compounds (nutrients) within solution, providing plants with maximum available nutrients for
cellular growth continuously.
3, Phyto-Zyme is a technically advanced root zone conditioner that allows your plant to build a healthy &
productive root system.
4. Phyto-Zyme is multi functional and designed to benefit all species of plants in any type of growing
system. Phyto-Zyme allows your plants to maximally absorb nutrients by facilitating an optimal root
environment. Plants that have a healthy & productive root system can absorb maximal amounts of
nutrients & water that translates into enhanced growth & development providing maximum crop yield.

Root Zone & Biofilm Relationship:

Root zone bacteria such as plant growth promoting rhizobacteria not only induce plant growth but also
protect plants from soil-borne pathogens in a process known as bio-control. Contrastingly, other
rhizobacteria in a biofilm matrix may cause pathogenesis in plants. Although research suggests that
biofilm formation on plants is associated with biological control and pathogenic response.
Plant roots and biofilm establish a complicated relationship, no bacterial colonisation on roots can retard
growth yet an over abundance can also have adverse affects. Phyto-Zyme reduces the built up old
layers of biofilm on roots leaving the healthy beneficial bacterial colonies.
When colonizing different plant surfaces it has become clear that bacterial interactions, growth and
formation of biofilms on the root surface involve complex mechanisms. Non pathogenic plant growth
promoting rhizobacteria (PGPRs) associated with plant root surfaces are known to contribute towards
increases in plant yield by mechanisms such as improved mineral uptake, phytohormone production
(Biswas et al., 2000; Ryu et al., 2003, 2004; Fujishige et al., 2006) and competitive suppression of
pathogens by production of antibiotics (Mazzola et al., 1992) and induction of secondary metabolitemediated systemic resistance (Ryu et al., 2004).
Apart from the root surface, microbial biofilms are also reported on the phyllosphere and vasculature,
especially by pathogenic microorganisms (Torres et al., 2006). For example, the pathogenicity of Xylella
fastidiosa, which causes Pierce's disease of grapes and citrus fruits, has been attributed to its ability to
form extensive biofilms, thereby blocking the plant vasculature (Torres et al., 2006).

THE POWER IN NATURE

Phyto-Zyme
Phyto-Zyme promotes a structural breakdown (solubilisation) of excessive biofilm growth that can
accumulate on root surfaces thus protecting plant root structures form
excessive biofilm growth that can contribute to the proliferation of
pathogenic microorganisms.

Pythium:
Phyto-Zyme provides an environmental cleaning action within
hydroponic systems, controlling bio-film buildup (slime) on surfaces
and on roots, reducing bacterial buildup along with an accelerated
breakdown of organic materials in solution thus preventing root
clogging (slime) and (Pythium) root rot and stem rot fungus species
(including Pythium, Verticillium, and Phytophthora, and Fusarium)
from proliferating in biofilm on root surfaces, Minimizing biofilm build
up on root surfaces also allows roots to absorb available nutrients
more efficiently.
Phyto-Zyme does not kill bacteria. Instead, it creates an inhospitable
Pythium (Root rot) environment for the Pythium bacteria by cleaning the roots and other surfaces of
excess biofilm (slime). Phyto-Zyme controls excess biofilm buildup, thus reducing pathogenic bacterial
colonisation on the roots, also removing bacterial food sources (organics) in solution further reducing
unhealthy levels of bacteria in hydroponic type systems.
Case studies have demonstrated surfactants can kill the bacteria (Pythium) that cause root rot. PhytoZyme contains a small amount of a highly specialized environmentally friendly surfactant; this provides
multiple functions in hydroponic systems and other grow mediums.
One of the most important functions of Phyto-Zyme is its ability to act as a wetting agent that cleans the
root system assisting in nutrient uptake allowing the root system to function at 100% nutrient absorption
capacity.

Nitrogen:
Plants take nitrogen from the soil, by absorption through their roots in the form of either nitrate ions or
ammonium ions for incorporation into amino acids, nucleic acids, and chlorophyll.
Nitrogen is the one nutrient most often limiting plant growth. Soil microorganisms release nitrogen tied-up
in organic matter over a period of time.
Phyto-Zyme encourages the conversion of nitrogen to nitrate through supporting the nitrifying bacteria
that live in the soil. In the primary stage of nitrification, the oxidation of ammonium (NH4+) is performed by
bacteria such as the Nitrosomonas species, which converts ammonia to nitrites (NO2-).
Other bacterial species, such as the Nitrobacter, are responsible for the oxidation of the nitrites into
nitrates (NO3-) Phyto-Zyme provides highly oxygenated nutrient solution that helps prevent water
logging and provides bacteria in the soil oxygen, allowing for enhanced conversion of nitrogen to nitrate
for plants to absorb through their roots. Nitrifying bacteria are aerobic and adequate dissolved oxygen
levels in solution must be maintained to help with nitrification.

Oxygenation and Pythium:

Pythium typically thrives in oxygen-poor (anaerobic), warm (75-85 F), and poorly circulated nutrient
solutions. The amount of dissolved oxygen (DO) in a nutrient solution depends on the water temperature.
Cold water can 'hold' more dissolved oxygen. A fully aerated solution at 20C/68 F is 9 - 10ppm; at
30C/86F it's 7ppm. Oxygen requirement doubles for each 10C rise in root system temperature (max

THE POWER IN NATURE

Phyto-Zyme
30C/86F). The dilemma for the grower is that with a 10C rise in temperature, root system oxygen
requirements will double, while the oxygen carrying capacity of the solution will drop by over 25%!
When used properly Phyto-Zymes ability to increase oxygen transfer in water can alter Henrys law that
states that the solubility of a gas (oxygen) is directly proportional to the pressure of the gas (atmospheric)
above or surrounding the liquid.
Phyto-Zyme can alter the parameters of Henrys law on gas transfer into liquids thus at higher
temperatures higher oxygen value can be achieved allowing for greater control and level available in
warmer nutrient solutions. This reduces low oxygen events in warm solution and provides maximum levels
of available oxygen for plant requirements in a wider range of solution temperatures.

Oxygenation and Nutrient Uptake:

Healthy roots supplied with sufficient oxygen are able to absorb nutrient ions selectively from the
surrounding solution as required. The metabolic energy, which is required to drive this nutrient uptake
process, is obtained from root respiration using oxygen. In fact there can be a net loss of nutrient ions from
a plants root system when suffering from a lack of oxygen (anaerobic conditions). Without sufficient
oxygen in the root zone, plants are unable to take up mineral nutrients in the concentrations required for
maximum growth and development. Maintaining maximum levels of dissolved oxygen boosts nutrient
uptake by ensuring healthy roots have the energy required to rapidly take up and transport water and
mineral ions.
Calcium is one important nutrient ion, which has been shown to benefit from high levels of oxygenation in
the hydroponic nutrient solution. Calcium, unlike the other major nutrients is absorbed mostly by the root
growing tips (root apex). The root apex has a large energy requirement for new cell production and growth
and is therefore vulnerable to oxygen stress.
If root tips begin to suffer from a lack of oxygen, a shortage of calcium in the shoot will occur. This
shortage of calcium makes the development of calcium disorders such as tip burn and blossom end rot
more likely and severe under oxygen starvation conditions. High levels of oxygenation ensure healthy root
tips are able to take the levels of calcium required for new tissue growth and development.

Growing in Soil:
Soils have large quantities of most nutrients, yet the majority of these nutrients are not in the soil solution,
but instead are bound to the soil. Some of these nutrients are available to plants because they are only
weakly bound as exchangeable nutrients. The cation exchange capacity (CEC) is one measure of the total
amount of exchangeable cations that can be held by the soil, and generally is a good general indicator of
soil fertility.
CEC is higher in soils with high amounts of clay and organic matter, and is lower in acid soils. Soil pH
strongly affects the availability of nutrients to plants with pH levels near 7 generally providing optimum
availability.
Nutrients vary greatly in their relative mobility within soil. For example, nitrate (NO3-) is highly mobile, yet
phosphate (HPO4-2, H2PO4-) is relatively immobile.
Optimum nutrient uptake can be achieved with PhytoZyme added to the nutrient solution, PhytoZyme
releases (unbinds) the more immobile nutrients thus making nutrients more available for root uptake in all
types of soils or hydroponic type systems.
The primary benefits are related to improving the microbiological conditions within the soil, thus directly
impacting root growth and optimizing nutrient uptake.

THE POWER IN NATURE

Phyto-Zyme
A recent case study was performed in sand and manure. This resulted in 200% growth increase over
crops without Phyto-Zyme, and produced over double the produce.
Phyto-Zyme solves the chronic issues of water peculation, either preventing anaerobic conditions due to
poor water peculation, or dry conditions due to lack of adequate biomass health within the subsurface
soils.
Phyto-Zyme supports the natural soil food web that break down organic matter to create nutrients for
plants. The life in soil then converts them to food. In this manner, plants become stronger working for
themselves rather than relying on chemical injections to feed the roots. Some important members of the
soil ecosystem are:

Beneficial Bacteria:
- Rhizobacteria: form a symbiotic relationship with plant by converting nitrogen (from air) into a nutrient for
the plant once embedded in root system.
- Actinobacteria: Critical for decomposition of organic matter and humus formation.
- Bacillus: Protect roots and aid in nutrient uptake.

-Beneficial Nematodes: These are microscopic organisms, which look like worms. Predatory nematodes
kill pests (borers, cutworms, grubs, etc.) and protect roots.

-Protozoa: These are single cell organisms that eat bacteria, which then releases nitrogen (in form of
ammonium). This also regulates bacteria populations.

By supporting the beneficial micro bacterial life in soil combined with maximum utilisation of fertilisers or
organic nutrients provides optimum nutrient availability and absorption that promotes enhanced cellular
growth and crop yields.

Nutrient Precipitation:
The key to having healthy plants is to be certain that all nutrients are available and absorbable by the root
structure. Phyto-Zyme increases the solubility of nutrients making them more available to the plants.
This increased solubility of nutrients also prevents the precipitation of nutrients that can happen
periodically, providing plants with maximum available nutrients as well as the ability to utilize them all the
time.

Summary:
It is uncertain whether yield increases can be achieved to keep pace with the growing global food demand.
Furthermore, current projections of a required 50% increase in food production by 2050 to sustain demand
have not taken into account; the losses in yield and land area as a result of environmental degradation.
The natural environment comprises the entire basis for food production through water, nutrients, soils,
climate, weather and insects for pollination and controlling infestations. Land degradation, urban
expansion and conversion of crops and cropland for non-food production, such as biofuels, may reduce
the required cropland by 820% by 2050, if not compensated for in other ways.
This may cause projected yields to be 525% short of demand by 2050. Increased oil prices may raise the
cost of fertilizer and lower yields further. If losses in cropland area and yields are only partially
compensated for, food production could potentially become up to 25% short of demand by 2050. This
would require new ways to increase food supply.

THE POWER IN NATURE

Phyto-Zyme
Agriculture, the largest industry in the world, is also the biggest threat to the environment. Phyto-Zyme
enhances crop production and reduces environmental pollution through reducing fertilizer demand
(reducing run off into lakes and rivers,) optimizing the microbial health of soils to improving the
microbiological conditions within the soil, thus directly impacting, Land degradation, root growth and the
optimization of nutrient uptake resulting in increased growth and health of crops to combat global food
shortages and pollution.
The superior performance and broad applicability of Phyto-Zyme over traditional plant enhancement or
enzyme products provides profound competitive advantages in the current marketplace.
