Don’t Forget about Proven Organic Solutions from Redox

by Bill Schwoerer

The U.S. organic produce segment continues to increase at an approximate 5% compound annual growth rate.  No wonder many growers continue focusing on this growing market segment.

Organic farming also requires different growing practices mandated by OMRI approved inputs. Organic producers must take a highly proactive approach in their management practices, focusing on soil health for example to improve nutrient cycling, root development and moisture management.

Incorporating amendments like humic and fulvic acids with nutrients like potassium, calcium and micronutrients from specialized providers like Redox Bio-Nutrients offers plant nutrition plus active carbon to not only supply nutrition, but provide overall plant and soil health balance. 

What is active carbon?  It is soluble carbon components like humic acid, fulvic acid, amino acids that move in the soil solution and root zone to provide valuable biostimulant benefits to plants.  Benefits include enhanced microbial activity, stress tolerance, nutrient cycling and availability, as well as improved soil moisture holding capacity.  Organic H-85™ from Redox Bio-Nutrients provides fractionated carbon components of humic, fulvic and humin proven to feed soil biology, improve nutrient availability, enhance root development and increase overall plant stress tolerance.

Calcium is an often-overlooked plant nutrient as soil tests often show sufficient calcium levels.  However, there can be a very big difference between the calcium that is in the soil and what is available to the plant.  Adding calcium products like, Organic Mainstay® Calcium, Organic Penecal™ and Organic Mainstay® Si will provide plant available Ca++, plus improve soil health with the added biostimulant benefit of better tolerance to stress events like heat, wind and drought.  

These benefits allow growers to produce a more consistent, quality crop.

Redox Bio-Nutrients is a leader in the development of bioactive crop nutrition.  All Redox products incorporate biostimulant components with supporting nutrition.  For example, Redox’s Organic TriPlex® Micro and Organic TriPlex® Zinc incorporate amino acids to chelate micronutrients.  Other examples are two of the first certified biostimulants through The Fertilizer Institute, Mainstay® Calcium and Mainstay® Si.
