rhizogen fertilizers

Organic. Granular. Microbial. Fertilizers.


Rhizogen is Revolutionary— and that means Better...naturally.® I T ’ S TRUE –

You can find products containing beneficial microbial and mycorrhizal organisms.

Other companies use poultry manure as fertilizer.

There are granular products on the market.

You couldn’t find all these things in ONE PRODUCT— until now. Introducing the Rhizogen family of OMRI TM certified organic fertilizers – with our patented technology combining sterilized poultry litter with our special blends of probiotic microbial and mycorrhizal organisms into true granular, dustless fertilizers that outperform organic and synthetic fertilizers.

Go organic — increase yield, quality and profitability. Thinking of transitioning to organic, but worried about a drop in yield or quality? Think again. With Rhizogen’s family of enhanced fertilizer products, you can address the issues that matter to you most. Y I E L D – Rhizogen fertilizer products outperform many organic and synthetic fertilizers, increasing yield by up to 49%.* Q UA L I T Y – Organic crops just taste better. That’s a fact, and demand is growing exponentially. PR O FI TA B I LI T Y – Market analysis shows organic crops

reap profits 4 to 5 times higher than non-organic crops. SU S TA I N A B I L I T Y – Using these products will bring your soil back to an optimum state of health, creating a robust foundation for the life of your business.

Already in the organic market? Consider the benefits of using the Rhizogen line – O R G A N I C – OMRI TM certified products available. SA FE R – Our manufacturing processes reach temperatures o

up to 800 F, destroying pathogenic organisms. PR O B I O T I C M I C R O O R G A N I S M S – After sterilization,

the poultry litter is blended with specific beneficial Bacillus bacteria and mycorrhizal fungi during manufacturing. These microorganisms and fungi substantially increase plant growth and yield, and elevate plant resistance to disease, drought, lodging and freezing. T R U E G R A N U L A R & D U S T L E SS – Rhizogen granules are formed by rotary granulation systems utilizing proprietary binders. This creates a compact, virtually dustless product. LO N G S H E L F L I FE – Rhizogen fertilizer products contain

stable, sporulated microorganisms and less moisture.


For the farming, turf, nursery, gardening, and orchard markets: Farming – Rhizogen fertilizers are

tailored for specific crops and conditions, to help give you premium growth and yield. Also with mycorrhiza for added plant health. T urf – Our turf product contains

necessary nutrients and beneficial microorganisms that stimulate photosynthetic activity, better growth, sustained health, and drought resistance. N ursery and G ardening – Our

fertilizers build plants that are healthier, grow stronger and taste better. O rchard – Our organic and natural

ingredients offer precise feeding to roots, and is maximized by supplying the delivery of beneficial microbes into the root zone.
