All too often, standard operating procedure for many growers involves large amounts of fertilizer, applied liberally. This is inefficient and a missed opportunity for farmers to reap the rewards that come with a more thoughtful, targeted approach.

If you simply carry out the old guard approach to fertilizer, you will get less in return. It would be like putting low grade fuel in a Ferrari. A newer, more efficient approach will also help you meet sustainability goals. With our 30 years of research and leadership in this space, we have dozens of bio-active, carbon-based products, both conventional and organic. We have spent 30 years developing and perfecting these products to effectively meet your fertilizer needs and to provide the healthiest environment for your crops to thrive.
