JumpStart™ Fast-Acting Biostimulant

 

Accelerated Germination and Vegetation Establishment for Hydroseeding and Erosion Control Applications

Give Vegetation a True Jump Start

JumpStart™ is a fast-acting, proprietary liquid biostimulant engineered to dramatically accelerate seed germination, early plant development, and long-term vegetation performance. Designed specifically for hydroseeding, hydraulic mulch, erosion control, and soil restoration projects, JumpStart™ enhances soil biology, moisture dynamics, and nutrient efficiency—delivering faster, denser, and more resilient vegetation establishment.

When applied as part of a hydroseeding or soil amendment program, JumpStart™ improves early plant vigor, strengthens root systems, and increases tolerance to environmental stress, making it an essential component for high-performance erosion control and revegetation systems.


How JumpStart™ Works

JumpStart™ is a proprietary liquid formulation containing:

  • Advanced soil penetration agents

  • Humic acid derived from Leonardite

  • Over 200 species of beneficial soil microorganisms

  • A water-based culture medium for rapid soil integration

Together, these components work synergistically to improve soil function and plant response by:

  • Increasing moisture infiltration and water-holding efficiency

  • Activating faster nutrient uptake and nutrient conversion

  • Reducing soil compaction and salinity stress

  • Enhancing root development and overall plant resilience

  • Minimizing nutrient leaching and off-site runoff

The result is faster germination, stronger early growth, and uniform, sustainable vegetation establishment, even in difficult or degraded soils.


Proven Performance – Independently Tested

An independent trial utilizing the ASTM D7322 Growth Establishment Test Method documented the synergistic performance of JumpStart™ in accelerating early vegetation development.

Compared to untreated control areas, seeded sites treated with JumpStart™ achieved within 14–21 days:

  • 275% more seed germination

  • 281% greater plant height

  • 115% greater plant biomass

These results confirm JumpStart™’s effectiveness in delivering rapid establishment and measurable improvements in early plant performance—critical for erosion control success.

Key Benefits of JumpStart™

Accelerated Germination and Early Growth

JumpStart™ creates ideal soil conditions for rapid and uniform germination, helping vegetation establish quickly and consistently.

Improved Moisture Management

Enhances soil moisture infiltration and retention, reducing drought stress and improving performance in dry or variable climates.

Stronger Root Systems

Stimulates hormonal plant responses that maximize root depth, density, and stress tolerance.

Enhanced Nutrient Efficiency

Promotes faster nutrient uptake while reducing nutrient loss through leaching and runoff—supporting environmental compliance and sustainability goals.

Reduced Soil Stress

Mitigates salinity and compaction issues, allowing deeper root penetration and healthier long-term vegetation.


Ideal Applications

JumpStart™ is recommended for use in:

  • Hydroseeding and hydraulic mulch applications

  • Erosion control and slope stabilization projects

  • Roadside, highway, and railway embankments

  • Mining, quarry reclamation, and disturbed land restoration

  • Turf establishment, landscaping, and environmental rehabilitation

  • Projects requiring fast vegetation establishment and regulatory compliance


Compatibility and Use

  • Designed for use with hydraulic mulches, fiber matrices, and erosion control systems

  • Compatible with most hydroseeding slurries when applied according to soil test data

  • Application rates should be adjusted based on site-specific soil chemistry and agronomic analysis


Environmentally Responsible Solution

JumpStart™ supports responsible land management by:

  • Reducing nutrient runoff into water bodies

  • Enhancing soil biology naturally

  • Supporting BMP and NPDES compliance strategies

  • Delivering measurable performance without harmful environmental impact
