The results of a study by Hood, Chopra, and Wanielista provided promising results for the use of Bold & Gold for phosphorus removal. In field scale testing, Bold & Gold had a 71% removal efficiency of total phosphorus. This was compared to sandy soil which had many negative values, indicating significant leaching of total phosphorus from the sod. The average Soluble Reactive Phosphorus (phosphorus that is readily available to plants and algae) removal efficiency was 95%. Overall, the Bold & Gold system performed much better when compared to a sandy soil bio-filtration system. <ref>Hood A, Chopra M, Wanielista M.
