Smarter, Science-Based Nutrition to Optimize Your Yield and Quality

by Bill Schwoerer

Thanks to the Haber-Bosch process and the Green Revolution, the fertilizer industry has been a boon to growers for decades, with dramatic yield spikes.

While largely positive, the drawbacks are coming into greater focus every growing season. 

Traditional salt-based fertilizers have long been the standard for a reason. They have a history of boosting production to extraordinary levels. New scientific understandings indicate they have some drawbacks and, by themselves, they are unlikely to continue to boost yield. Used alone, they lack efficiency, which ramps up costs to growers. The philosophy has been to over apply fertilizers to compensate for this inherent inefficiency.  Also noteworthy is the impact excess applied fertilizer use has on grower profitability and environmental impacts. Agronomically, salt-based fertilizers can be toxic to plant roots, soil biology, cause charge imbalances and create an overall drag on soil and crop productivity. They also suppress the natural biological systems that have evolved to support productive plant and soil interaction. Not to mention the volatility of the cost of these commodity fertilizers.

Just like modernization of farm equipment, scientific breakthroughs are paving the way for better crop nutrition , signaling across the board wins. This new generation of inputs have an impressive and growing resume, delivering greater yield and quality, as well as kinder approach to environmental issues such as nitrate leaching into groundwater. 

The fertilizer industry is past due for technological progress to offer growers products that work for their needs and reduce waste and cost.  The good news is there is new technology that is much more compatible with the plant and soil system now available.   

Redox Bio-Nutrients is a leader in providing superior, plant synergistic forms of crop nutrition that work with the natural systems to support optimal plant nutrition, plant health and ultimately crop quality and productivity.  What’s the secret?  Redox incorporates redox active carbon compounds that are selected for specific plant benefits.  By incorporating these redox active materials (RAM) with crop nutrition, Redox products are optimized to complement natural soil and plant health systems leading to efficient nutrition, reduced stress and overall healthier, more productive cropping systems.   

All fertilizer carries a charge, either positive or negative. Redox active molecules help give or accept charge allowing the plant to remain in balance. When charge balance is achieved, plants will deliver their best yield and quality. Unbalanced plants experience stress from the charge imbalance and will waste valuable energy to try to regain charge balance

“We need to stop talking about applied pounds per acre and start talking about metabolized pounds per acre,” remarked Redox Founder and CEO Darin Moon. “That’s a totally different and more appropriate conversation to meet today’s needs for growers and our environment.”

RDX-N® is a breakthrough nitrogen optimization product. More than a decade of research, field trials and now commercial use confirm the power of this plant-active botanical extract biostimulant.  RDX-N is designed to elevate nitrogen use efficiency from within the plant itself, with up to 2x nitrogen use optimization, meaning can do more with less and become more efficient through using more appropriate levels of nitrogen. RDX-N is the latest in a long line of Redox products that have shown the same benefits while incorporating other nutrients like, P,K, Calcium, and others.  Redox is a second-generation, family owned and operated company based in Burley, Idaho.
