This project tested rates of lignite-activated water (LAW) for its influence on seed germination, cutting propagation, and plant performance. LAW is a product of CAW Industries, Rapid City, S.D. LAW is water-activated by lignite in a process that includes the addition of sulfated castor oil, calcium chloride, magnesium sulfate, sodium meta silicate, and fossilized organics from refined lignite. LAW is reported to improve many plant performance traits. Four rates were used in this study. Seed germination trials indicated no significant differences in germination percentage with LAW applications with the two species tested,  Echinacea purpurea  and  Hibiscus dasycalyx . In a “closed” system, LAW enhanced cutting propagation success of  Aster caroliniana, Cuphea micropetala , and  Verbena  `Homestead Purple', as measured by percent rooting and dry weight of roots produced. Cutting propagation of two woody species,  Illicium henryi  and  Rosa banksiae , was not improved with LAW additions. In the SFASU Arboretum, pansy performance, as measured by plant dry weight, was improved one month after establishment.
