The Science Behind Thunderstorms
HyFrontier discovered that lightning & thunderstorms deliver significant amounts of hydrogen to the soil, unbeknownst to academia.
A bolt of lightning is so powerful, it breaks the covalent bonds of both the air and water it makes contact with, to create nitrogen, oxygen and hydrogen, which gets caught up in the rain and downdraft of the storm, falling to the earth, providing critical nutrients plants need.
Above is an example of what academia states about thunderstorms (no mention of hydrogen being delivered to soil).

What does academia say about hydrogen in plants?
The “Hydrogen Agricultural Era” is waving to us.

Tilling, Cover Crops and Rotations Reduction
HyGrO technology can potentially reduce the need for tilling, cover crops and rotations.
