A Sustainable Solution for Better Crops
Transcript of A Sustainable Solution for Better Crops
This innovative, slow-release high-performance fertilizer delivers a
balanced nutrient package to crops when crops need it most.
Produced from organic material reclaimed from food, livestock, or municipal
sources, SymTRX uses a proprietary technology to deliver nutrients to crops
slowly: 65% during the first two weeks, and the remaining 35% over six to
eight weeks. This results in less nutrient loss via leaching and volatility, with
an additional benefit of improved soil health and increased yields.
On Time and On Target
Average Corn Research Yield Advantage: 7.4 bu per acre
SymTRX Corn Yield Results
Sixteen corn trials were
conducted in Iowa, Illinois,
Ohio, Nebraska, Minnesota
and Arkansas in 2016-17.
Net revenue was also factored
in based on product cost
and average price per bushel
from the various locations.
Average net revenueAdvantage: $16.70/acre
The key to nutrient utilization is delivery in a form that crops can
readily use.
SymTRX delivers nutrients to crops in the most plant-available form when they
are needed most. This delivery system, called the Organic MaTRX, was designed
with an eye toward sustainability and environmental stewardship.
SymTRX’s nutrient formula includes ammonium N and sulfate sulfur. These
nutrients are released gradually and efficiently as the Organic MaTRX breaks
down, delivering nutrients and carbon that benefit plant and soil health. By
using SymTRX, up to 16% organic matter is returned to the soil.
Breakthrough Technology Delivers “ ““It’s the first product that
we’ve ever used on corn
that visibly you could tell
where you put it. It
was amazing what the
corn looked like, the
health, how much
darker green it was.”
Average Rice Yield Advantage: 8.5 bu per acre
SymTRX RICE Yield Results
Seven rice trials were
conducted in Arkansas,
Louisiana and Mississippi.
Net revenue was calculated
based on product cost and
average price per bushel.

SymTRX’s efficient uptake and utilization by crops adds up to
greener, healthier crops and higher yields.
Healthier Crops Look IT
SCOTT WATSONGreen Point AgParagould, AR
In nature, plants easily absorb nutrients from the soil. They are bioavailable. The
same is true with SymTRX. Nutrients are quickly, then slowly released and bioavailable
to the growing crop. The nutrient delivery system is different from other slow release
products, and in fact, mimics nature.
It started when Anuvia scientists, concerned with protecting and managing resources,
identified organic waste as a social and economic problem. They determined that
reclaiming, reusing and converting organic waste streams into a high efficiency plant
nutrient could represent a better way to return nutrients and organic matter to the soil.
In addition, because of efficient plant utilization, Anuvia plant nutrients boost crop per-
formance. SymTRX is proof positive for both the environment and crop performance.
What Happens in Nature, Happens with SymTRX “ ““ “
“I think it's great that we
can take waste and
utilize it in some other
form to help us grow
our crops.”
“It's basically a recycled
product. My growers like
the idea of having a
reusable source and feel
good about helping the
environment.” “It handles really well. It flows really good, mixes well coming out
of the spreader trucks. We’re getting a nice, uniform spread
once we pan test the trucks. It seems to stay consistent
and we’re not having to readjust trucks with different loads.
…Sustainability is going to be a big issue in the ag industry
and the country. We've got to find ways to get rid of different
wastes. I think this is a good way to make that happen.”
Eight cotton trials were
conducted in Arkansas,
Tennessee, Mississippi,
Texas, Virginia and Alabama.
Net revenue was calculated
based on product cost and
average price per bale.

SymTRX “pays it forward” for the soil.
SymTRX returns 16% organic matter to the soil. Organic matter improves water
holding capacity of the soil and provides a food source for microbes living there.
‘Feed the soil’ means feeding the microbes in the soil because it is the microbes that
make nutrients available to plants. Microbes are fed by adding organic material.
Conventional fertilizers feed the plants while SymTRX feeds the plants and the soil
microbes which makes for healthier plants and healthier soils.
Feeding the Soil
U.S.D.A. Natural Resources
Conservation Service
“Dynamic soil quality is how soil changes depending on how it is
managed. Management choices affect the amount of soil organic
matter, soil structure, soil depth and water and nutrient holding capacity.
Understanding soil health means assessing and managing soil so that
it functions optimally now and is not degraded for future use.”
While many companies and
products claim sustainability, few
can demonstrate regenerative
processes to this extent.
Sustainability at its Best
Organic Matter Matters
In the circular economy, a crop is grown,
then consumed and a waste stream is
then created. Anuvia reprocesses the
waste stream and combines it with in-
organic nutrients to create its enhanced
efficiency fertilizer. The fertilizer is then
applied to a new crop and the cycle
begins again.

This table summarizes research trials conducted in 2016 and 2017. Yield increases
resulting in positive net revenues are demonstrated in corn, cotton, rice and sugar beets.
Limited trials were also conducted on wheat and canola showing positive yield increases.
When it comes to soil health, organic matter is the foundation. In addition to
providing nutrients to growing plants, organic matter helps soils absorb and
store water which is especially important during years of drought. Organic
matter affects every aspect of healthy soil and almost always impacts crop
yield. The overriding benefit of healthy soil is food production.
Anuvia understands the importance of soil health to improving crop yield, but
also because of the need to protect resources for future generations. Our
approach to fertilization is to replenish and nourish—and to do so in such a
way that is uniquely environmentally-friendly and sustainable.
According to USDA, for every
1% increase in organic matter in
soil, U.S. farms could store the
amount of water that goes
over Niagara Falls in 150 days.
Changing the GameWe help plants—and people—thrive. Anuvia products are game-changers that support
growers striving to economically produce more food, while providing the environmental
stewardship to maintain this success in the long term.
Our high-performance fertilizers provide a way to achieve better results using products
that are good for the planet Earth as well as its soil. It's something growers can feel
good about. It simply makes good sense.
