C-GRO, The All Natural Soil Amendment Miracle A new agricultural product is raising Arizona farming to a new level and Fertizona is the vanguard. “We believe this product will start a renaissance in agriculture,” says Arnie Moeller, C-GRO President.
C-GRO, an all natural soil amendment, is extracted by a patented process from seawater. It contains all the elements of the atomic table with the exception of some gases.
50% or more of these life sustaining elements are absent from our soils allowing environmental stresses to reduce the production potential of plants.
Current research and field applications confirm that C-GRO crops mature earlier, produce higher yields and are lower in disease than untreated crops.
“We are very pleased to have Fertizona as our exclusive distributor for the SW region of the US and Mexico,” says Cheryl Skummer, SW Regional Sales Manager for C-GRO. Fertizona’s Manager and New Product Developer at Waddell is Craig Allen.
Accelerated Maturation
By providing these missing nutrients, additional energy is available to the plant stimulating increased bioactivity within its cells. This jump start accelerates the maturation process resulting in a shorter growing season.
Arizona’s 2005 crops of lettuce, radish, carrots, spinach and cantaloupe clearly demonstrate this advantage. Alfalfa fields produce one or more additional cuttings per season. Roses bloom more frequently and carry double the blossoms of untreated bushes. Vegetable growers are producing more fruit with better flavor in less time.
Increased Yields
C-GRO results in greater assimilation of energy by plants by providing balanced nutrition. “This dramatically increases production and strengthens the plant’s immune system to ward off predators,” says Dr. Miles Athey environmental toxicologist and Director of Research for C-GRO.
Field applications in recent years have proven that C-GRO, when properly applied, produces crop yields up to 37% higher than untreated crops. Melons are typically packed twelve to a box but those grown in Salome, AZ this year are so large they pack nine to a box.
Reduced Disease
It is well known that pests feast on stressed plants and avoid healthy ones. Healthy immune systems result from complete nutrition. C-GRO provides all the nutrients presently missing from our soils, making crops virtually disease free without the use of pesticides and herbicides.
It enables stronger and more frequent systemic responses to critical processes such as ethylene conversion, nutrient absorption and immune enhancement.
The result is an accelerated infusion of nutrients into the plant. Field and lab inspections throughout plant growth cycles repeatedly confirmed that C-GRO crops suffered significantly less insect, nematode, bacterial, viral and fungal damage than untreated crops.
