Ferticell Products Absorb Within Three Hours and Are Immediately Available

Crop Nutrition News • June 24, 2024

Ferticell products are 16 types of unicellular algae, bacteria types, and cell extracts to carry nutrients to be absorbed by leaf or root instantaneously. They store large amounts of nutrients such as amino-acids, microelements, and vitamins within their cells. Most of our inputs are plant based and are highly bio-available, do not need to be fixed and do not utilize any of the plants energy versus conventional. After absorption (similar to how transdermal patches function) our cells make their way between the internal cells seeking a plant cell of lower concentration. Product of a higher concentration cell transfers to a lower concentration cell and ceases when enough nutrients have transferred to the plant cell to balance the concentration of both solutions. Then the Ferticell cell will die releasing their remaining nutrients into the inter-cellular medium for storage or as a soil solution. In the soil we can unlock any nutrients and transfer them to the plant or serve as a food for the biome. We feed both the plant and biome as a “prebiotic” fertilizer.


Ferticell’s stable prices reduce input costs while improving yield and quality. They are more consistent, higher quality, used at lower rates, and achieve higher levels of product in the plant. When used in tank loads, products like Universal™ 0-0-1 with 25% algae solution, increases the effectiveness of the other product. Whatever input is in the tank is delivered directly to the plant cells immediately. This immediacy gives a two-week advantage for a rapid emergence. When needed it delivers critical minerals, like calcium. Our ProCal™ 3-0-0 (20% calcium) or a conventional calcium in conjunction with Nutri-Plus™ 2.5-0-0, will deliver calcium into the plant immediately, to reduce stress (critical this year with the potential for drought), stabilize auxins and cytokinins reducing flower drop and re-enforcing the structure of the plant. When used in conjunction with another input, it re-enforces plant development with a little infusion of needed NPK (our ammoniacal nitrogen is the most available form for plants) or another element, unlike other inputs that are solely algae or kelp. Ferticell’s program of soil remediation, over a four-year period, weans the biome of its salt addiction from high salt index conventional inputs. It also makes the excess residual input useable and available to the plant. When it has reached an equilibrium, it begins to utilize more of the stored-up input thereby decreasing the need for new inputs.

What Salinity Can Do to Your Soil

By Bruce Roberts • July 15, 2025
Farmers should be examining their crops now for signs of stress, all forms of stress, not just drought. High temperatures, erratic rainfall, salinity, and nutrient limitations are already pushing crops toward dormancy and reducing yield potential across large areas. With stress-induced yield losses ranging from 8–40%, proactive measures are critical before you have to remediate. Even when you have the ability to reverse the issue, the ultimate yield has been decreased by a factor. It is more beneficial financially to use Nutri-Plus™ 2.5-0-0 since prevention is always preferable to having to “cure” the problem. Ferticell® Nutri-Plus™ 2.5-0-0 offers one of the most effective, preventive solutions, delivering amino acids, freshwater algae, and bioavailable nitrogen to maintain plant activity and reverse stress before damage becomes irreversible. Prevention is always the best approach, both agronomically and economically. Nutri-Plus™: A Complete Amino Acid-Based Bio-Stimulant Nutri-Plus™ is a 2.5% nitrogen liquid fertilizer derived from non-GMO soy and unicellular freshwater algae. It contains 42 amino acids, including 19 essential types, and acts as both a stress mitigator and a growth stimulant under heat, drought, frost, and saline stress. Key Features: 25% unicellular algae extract – anti-stress agent and nutrient delivery system (same as in Universal™ 0-0-1) 19.8% total amino acids by weight 2.5% plant-based nitrogen – organic, bioavailable, and fast-acting (same as Explorer™ 10-0-0) Low salt index and neutral pH – safe for foliar use and soil biome health Why Amino Acids Matter in Modern Agriculture Amino acids are vital intermediaries in the nitrogen cycle and play an indispensable role in plant resilience and productivity:

Ferticell® Active™ Organic Fertilizers: Precision Nutrition for Organic Crops

By Bruce Roberts • July 1, 2025
Organic growers long faced a challenge: delivering timely, efficient crop nutrition with the same precision available with conventional systems. While synthetic inputs offer speed and flexibility, organic solutions previously were limited, until Ferticell® introduced inputs that were developed for cleaner more efficient and more consistent outcomes. Precision Organic Crop Nutrition was then and is now still possible with products like Ferticell® Active™. This premium line of stage-specific NPK blends enables the delivery of the Right Nutrient, at the Right Time, in the Right Amount —all within organic standards and aligned with regenerative practices for both conventional and organic crops. Each formula is made using 100% plant-based, non-GMO, chloride-free ingredients , with no animal by-products, making it fully compliant with food safety regulations. Built on a foundation of soy protein hydrolysate amino acids and minerals that have been specifically processed for superior solubility (300x dilution through 120-mesh screens), Active™ provides clean, efficient nutrition without compromise. Active™ fertilizers are highly soluble powders designed to correct nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium deficiencies while supporting strong growth and stress resilience. Whether applied through drip systems, traditional irrigation, or foliar spray, over 90% of nutrients are absorbed within 3 hours , like most Ferticell® products. Active™ 2-20-2 – Phosphorus Power for Early Growth High phosphorus for root development and early vigor Excellent as a foliar phosphorus source Supports transplant recovery and abiotic stress resistance Active™ 5-10-10 – Balance for Flowering and Finish Enhances bloom, fruit set, and finishing stages Balanced P and K for stress recovery and metabolic strength Useful across multiple growth phases, especially post-flowering Active™ 13-2-2 – Nitrogen Kick for Growth and Recovery Delivers fast-acting nitrogen during vegetative growth or stress recovery High amino acid content improves tissue repair and tolerance Ideal after transplanting or adverse conditions Tailored Formulas for Every Growth Stage Active™ was developed for critical crop phases—transplanting, vegetative growth, pre-flowering, fruit fill—and for stress events from drought, heat, frost, salinity, hail, or pest damage. In the field, visible crop responses are often apparent within days, particularly when applied before stress-sensitive stages to prevent it. All of this is why Active™ outperforms many other conventional and organic NPK products in consistency, ease of use, uptake, and outcomes. The entire Active™ line harnesses soy protein hydrolysate , the same fast-acting amino acid nitrogen source featured in Ferticell® Explorer™ 10-0-0, 16-0-0, and many of our other products. As with all of our products, these NPK’s integrate seamlessly for blends focused on specific issues or levels of nutrition. Examples of potential inclusions are:  Universal™ 0-0-1 for faster potassium response Microelements™ 1-0-0 to correct micronutrient levels Calcium™ 880 or ProCal™ 3-0-0 for strong structural support Pro Primer™ 2-0-0 for boosting microbial activity and soil vitality Fighting Salt Index of Conventional Fertilizers All of the Ferticell® line has been environmentally friendly from the beginning, 21 years ago, and remains so today. Using our line of NPK’s and other fertilizers, they provide plant-based, highly soluble formulas that allows growers to fine-tune nutrition with the same control conventional systems enjoy without all the salt. Salt is the #1 issue that needs to be controlled in order to save our soil from further degradation. This makes it an ideal addition to your list of ingredients to be used giving a nutrition program (conventional and organic) with higher uptake and efficacy without salt. By increasing their percentage in your program over time (as with all of our products), you can reduce your total salt load and begin to remediate your soil. And with it being applied as a foliar with its quick uptake, it minimizes nitrogen and phosphorous pollution from its lack of volatilization, overuse because of its lower application rates with higher percentage of uptake (90+% utilization) and runoff risk from lower percentage of soil contact. These benefits when analyzed in total, provide better yields with corresponding ROI’s. Guaranteed Analysis – Ferticell® Active™
