Finally, A True 10% Organic Liquid Nitrogen

May 7, 2019
Tempe, Arizona, United States, April 24, 2019,/ — Ferticell™ has once again pushed the envelope with another agriculture industry-leading product, Ferticell™ Explorer™ 10-0-0. We have a truly innovative, first-ever CDFA-OIM (California Department of Food and Agriculture Organic Input Materials) certified organic liquid nitrogen fertilizer over 3-5.5%.liquid organic nitrogen

What this means for growers, sprayers and applicators is having the well-known and used Explorer® 16-0-0 in an easy to use, organic liquid nitrogen fertilizer, makes field applications and tank mix not only easier but more efficient. Along with the ease and efficiency of this now liquid soy protein hydrolysate is the immediately available, 100% plant-derived nitrogen component.

Explorer™ Liquid is not a suspension, but a true solution without the powder or wait times to solubilize and less overall packaging waste, reducing the grower’s carbon footprint. Explorer™ Liquid 10-0-0 delivers the same, high-quality performance of Explorer™ 16-0-0 but in the long sought after, convenient, and easy to use liquid soluble plant-derived nitrogen.

This hasn’t been an easy journey for Ferticell™. Starting this process initially back in January of 2012 with Explorer™ 13-0-0 as the first organic nitrogen derived as soy protein hydrolysate registered with CDFA-OIM, to now registered as both Explorer™ 16-0-0 dry and Explorer™ Liquid 10-0-0 is a great accomplishment. CDFA-OIM’s input registration process for registering this organic liquid nitrogen fertilizer was strictly and thoroughly vetted, taking from November 2017 to April of this year. It was clear that creating something so unique was due for a closer inspection.

Matt Brill, Marketing Director, said “17 months ago we started the registration process because this is what our growers and distributors were asking for. Explorer™ Liquid will be an innovative, industry-changing product.”

Unlike conventional nitrogen inputs, a soy protein hydrolysate is a form of nitrogen that most generally like in the case of Explorer™, does not leech from most soil types. It also carries a high carbon content and is immediately available to the plant without an ATP conversion. The plant mechanisms are reduced, reducing overall plant stress.
The L-amino acid profile is high in Explorer™ Liquid at 60% and 98.6% in Explorer™ 16-0-0. Unlike conventional nitrogen inputs, Explorer soy protein hydrolysate is a form of nitrogen that in most soils, will not leech. It also carries a high carbon content and is immediately available to plants and biomass without a delay and will not create a loss of energy in conversion.

“Agronomically speaking the technology in this product raises the standard for organic and conventional nitrogen. Getting Explorer Liquid to 10% nitrogen is no easy feat. This is going to give agricultural professionals the ability to load, mix, and apply using considerably less time (than with a powder).” says Jeff Ziehmer, CEO.

Ferticell® Pro Primer™ 2-0-0: A Full-Cycle Organic Biostimulant for Soil and Crop Health 
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:

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™
