Redox Grows

Sometimes in farming, more isn’t always better. Plant nutrition is a classic example where quality trumps quantity.

Plant charge balance is crucial to yield and quality. It’s not pounds per acre, but charge per acre that matters most. Redox Active Molecules (RAM) balance plant charge by donating or accepting electrons.  RAM are part of every product at Redox Bio-Nutrients.

Our growing understanding of successful farming is evidenced by RDX-N, patented proven technology that replaces 50 percent of synthetic nitrogen, while maintaining yields and enhancing crop quality.

“We have a molecule or molecules in our extraction process of the botanical extracts that is more powerful than anything I have ever seen,” remarked Redox owner and CEO, Darin Moon.

Moon said his optimism for the company and technological advancements has never been greater. 

South Carolina not only has hundreds of golf courses, it’s also where the first where American golf got it’s start. 

Keeping turfgrass in great shape still is a major focus, especially considering the area sees extreme hold and cold conditions. 

Sam Adams is in charge of making Paris Mountain Country Club look its best, and he relies on a host of Redox TurfRx products to get the job done.
 
 “For me, you can’t put a price on having healthy greens,” he said. “We definitely don’t want to skimp on quality on our greens.”

TurfRx products in use at Paris Mountain include OxyCal, Platinum, Supreme and Xtraction, which he said provide tremendous stress relief, especially during summer heatwaves. 

Adams has been superintendent at Paris Mountain since 2014. The course debuted in 1938. 

Nitrogen is the most used macronutrient and has long been crucial to abundant crops. New understandings indicate there are ways to reduce nitrogen use while maintaining yield and quality, as well as improving the environment. 

Our patented new technology  RDX-N® is changing this landscape in an unprecedented way. A small amount of RDX-N, added along with liquid nitrogen applications, replaces up to 50 percent of the nitrogen needed for yield and quality. 

“The results are going to blow you away,” said Brett Meyer, fifth-generation grower and  founder of Meyer Seeds in Torrington, Wyoming. Meyer produced a strong corn crop with less liquid nitrogen this season, thanks to including RDX-N.

Following the positive results, Meyer is comfortable in recommending  RDX-N, which is already  gaining ground among his network or growers. 

“If it doesn’t work on our farm, we don’t talk to our customers about it,” Meyer said. “RDX-N is on a lot more acres out here than where we intended, because our tissue samples were coming back so positive that we had faith in it. Everybody that we’ve had include it is seeing the same results. “

One of every three U.S. potatoes is grown in Idaho, and the industry has a well-earned reputation of quality and abundance.

Miller Research is a 50-year-old family business that contributes to that success. Their work, combined with others in the scientific community, led to a near doubling of Russet Burbank potato yields over the last 50 years.

Terry Miller and his son, Jeff, have rich academic backgrounds, which help them carry out crucial research for growers and companies at their office and research farm in Idaho’s Minidoka County.

It’s a great industry,” remarked Jeff Miller, company President, CEO and Principal Field Investigator. “These are very down-to-earth people, men and women who are very passionate about what they do. They love what they do. It’s more than just a job."

Miller Research works in a wide variety of areas, including efficacy of crop protection materials. 

Family is the heart of farming and has been for generations. Lindsay LaMora spent much of her early years following along with her father, Jeff Alicandro, a crop consultant with a legendary reputation in New York.

Following Jeff’s passing, Linsday decided to follow in his giant footsteps, and is now working in a similar capacity with growers, through her work at Ag BioTech.

Lindsay says getting the best results for growers requires being a lifelong learner.

“It is important to start learning and never stop learning,” she said. “Especially when it comes to fertility. My dad definitely had that mindset from the beginning.”

Apples cover well over 20,000 acres in Wayne County, making it the third largest for this crop in the U.S.

Lindsay says she’s seen great success with advanced nutrition from Redox and Ag BioTech. She says biostimulants provide substantial benefits to growers, including helping orchards thrive through cold spells and other abiotic stress events.

With lackluster crop prices, volatile trade markets and rising fertilizer costs, there’s a lot of pressure on grower profitability. One helpful step is better managing input costs without giving up performance, which can be done through Redox technology, powered by RAM.

RAM, Redox Active Molecules, is a scientific term that describes molecules that give or take a charge, helping plant charge balance even in times of stress.

The Redox Bio-Nutrients product line contains RAM technology, including patented and proven RDX-N®, which provides unrivaled nitrogen optimization.

“We know synthetic nitrogen use in agriculture is often inefficient,” said Aimee Burke, Agronomy and Business Development for the Redox Midwest. “RDX-N allows the plant to extract nutrients and utilize them more efficiently. The outcome of that is better plant growth and higher yields.”

Also packing a major nutritional punch is Rootex®, which stimulates root branching. It’s also an excellent source of phosphorus. 

“I think growers are understanding the key to healthy roots, and how Rootex can benefit that,” said John Parrish of the Midwest agronomy team. “This is especially important with expensive phosphorus prices.”

The XPRT Farm in Missouri Valley, Iowa, provides more than 500 acres of corn and soybeans,  where growers can see firsthand the power of Redox technology. 

“We’re just getting started and are so excited,” Burke said. “One of the core values of our company is to tell the truth. We have been sharing from the fields. We wanted to ground truth RAM Technology in the Midwest, and that’s what the XPRT Farm allows us to do.”

Farming carries a $41 billion a year impact in North Dakota, although growers face their share of hurdles, including salt buildup.

Corn growers Tye Schneider and Chad Ottmar have found a successful crop nutrition program with technology from Redox. 

“I’ve been doing side by side trials,” Schneider said. “The Redox always looks better. It looks greener and always seem to fill up a little faster on that side than it does on the other during harvest.”

Corn is grown on about four million acres in North Dakota and is second only to soybeans in the state’s most valuable crops.

There’s a crowded field of biostimulants, although precious few have the history, track record of success, and now certification that Redox has.

The Fertilizer Institute has certified Mainstay® Calcium 2.0 as a certified biostimulant, which speaks directly to how it delivers on three crucial parts of successful farming: efficacy, safety, and composition.

Certification is an excitement development in our companies history, which has and will continue to be fueled to find the most advanced agronomic solutions for yield and quality.

“It is absolutely a pleasure to be associated with great people, the diversity and variety of crops geographically, and to be constantly looking for opportunities to take budget dollars and resources and get higher performance from those resources,” remarked Redox Corporate Agronomist, John Kelly. 

With 180 million acres of crops, the Midwest is an essential food producer, especially when it comes to corn and soybeans.

More growers are utilizing cutting edge products from Redox Bio-Nutrients to get the most from their fields.

Part of the education process includes the XPRT Farm in Missouri Valley, Iowa, with more than 500 acres of corn and soybeans in production. Here, growers see firsthand the difference Redox technology provides. 

There was a large turnout for three field days at the farm this summer. 

RDX-N® is among the most promising products. This patented, stable botanical extra biostimulant provides unrivaled nitrogen optimization in the plant itself. 

“Anybody can grow a crop in a nearly perfect year, but that doesn’t exist, so educating ourselves on what we can do on those years when it’s not perfect or far from perfect is the difference between success and failure, or good and great, and that’s what we want to focus on,” remarked Kenton Mehlberg,  Operations and Production Manager from TIP, Incorporated in Wisconsin.  TIP works with Redox products and Kenton attended the recent field day. 

A key goal of the Redox Midwest team is to make sure growers clearly understand the value of using premium products.

“It’s all about how we take this technology, put it into play, and make it easy,” said Redox Midwest team leader C.R. Scebold.

Dedicated, diligent and competitive are characteristics that will take you far, and they are part of what makes Ben Jauregui in demand among California berry growers.

Jauregui is a PCA with AG RX, a valued company that works with Redox products. He shepherds 2,000 acres of crops along California’s Central Coast, predominately strawberries. Part of his successful formula involves continuing his hunger to learn more about the best agronomy. 

“Being able to compete against myself, compete against previous years is crucial,” he said. “If I end up producing still more fruit, I still think I can learn something more from that. Maybe there’s a certain fertilizer that they did that allowed the plant to manipulate more flowers, that allowed for better size, or just going back to that flavor profile.”
