Charleston, SC, March 22, 2010 – Surya Organics, a leading provider of organic, all-natural products to increase soil fertility and enhance plant growth, today announced that SHOOTUP™, a foliar spray application that boosts nutrient uptake, has received the "Member Tested & Recommended Seal of Approval" from the National Home Gardening Club (NHGC). SHOOTUP™ was tested on lawns, plants, flowers, fruits and vegetables of all varieties under diverse conditions by members of the NHGC in 2009 and received an overall member rating of eight out of a possible 10.

More than 90 percent of NHGC testers stated that they would recommend SHOOTUP™ to other gardeners. "Your product is wonderful," said NHGC member Josette Giacobbi, "On December third, I picked 10 pounds of peppers. They are growing in clusters of 10 to 12. Never have we had so many peppers. This is the third time since October that we have picked so many." John Hermann, another tester, reported that "Surya SHOOTUP™ is easy to use, economical and extremely effective. It performed better than any other product I’ve tried!"
