Designed with the Growers’ Future in Mind

ECO-MIN enhances the growth of soil microbes (”the invisible workers of the soil”) that in turn supply root systems with an abundance of nutrients, minerals, trace elements, and ultra trace elements. Smaller mineral particles are available for immediate microbial uptake through plant roots, while larger particles act as slow-release fertilizer. Over the long-term, soil fertility will increase (vs. decrease as it does with chemical fertilizers); this can provide higher yields and improve crop quality, thus reducing the need for toxic chemicals such as petroleum-based N-P-K fertilizers, pesticides, and herbicides.

Healthy soil that produces higher yields of strong, healthy plants can sustain the livelihood of the grower and his/her family.  With ECO-MIN, increasing economic yield and improving environmental health can be achieved simultaneously.

THE BENEFITS OF ECO-MIN® FOR:

CONVENTIONAL Growers

(Farmers using an industrialized agricultural system with synthetic inputs such as chemical fertilizers/N-P-K and pesticides)
ECO-MIN can help reduce a growers dependence on petroleum-based N-P-K fertilizers – this may reduce  input costs and may begin to help reduce runoff that can pollute streams, ponds, lakes, rivers and oceans. As conventional agriculture comes under increasing scrutiny by government agencies and local municipalities nationwide, growers are looking for alternatives that do no harm to the environment.  Including ECO-MIN in your process is a step in the right direction.

TRANSITIONAL Growers

(Farmers transitioning from conventional to organic production)
Transitioning to sustainable organic production is a pro-active process that demands patience, diligence, and thoughtful preparation.  ECO-MIN can be an essential ingredient in your transition process as you introduce integrated pest management, compost, mulch, compost teas and other types of non-harmful practices.  ECO-MIN is not a cure-all but a step towards a sustainable soil program.  In the first year, we recommend using ECO-MIN while reducing fertilizer by 30-50%.  Soil tests should be conducted to determine the nutrient holdings and needs of the soil.  Based on the outcome of these tests, some growers may choose to eliminate all chemical applications in the first year.  The succeeding years would see further reduction in the N-P-K fertilizer usage.  Using this ECO-MIN technique, Australian farmers have been able to dramatically reduce their N-P-K inputs with positive results.

CERTIFIED ORGANIC Growers

(Farmers who produce in accordance with The USDA Federal Rule governing organic certification)
ECO-MIN is certified organic by The Organic Materials Review Institute (OMRI) (see OMRI certification).  Because it’s all-natural and contains no genetically modified ingredients (GMOs), ECO-MIN can work in conjunction with any and all organic farming practices, including the use of mulch, “green” manures, “green” waste, fish emulsions etc.  ECO-MIN enhances the microbial colonization in the soil, stimulates plant / crop microbes, and provides plants with a food source of over 70 minerals and trace minerals that are absorbed through feeder roots.
