A SustainableSolution forBetter Crops

This innovative, slow-release high-performance fertilizer delivers a

balanced nutrient package to crops when crops need it most.

Produced from organic material reclaimed from food, livestock, or municipal

sources, SymTRX uses a proprietary technology to deliver nutrients to crops

slowly: 65% during the first two weeks, and the remaining 35% over six to

eight weeks. This results in less nutrient loss via leaching and volatility, with

an additional benefit of improved soil health and increased yields.

On Time and On Target

Average Corn Research Yield Advantage: 7.4 bu per acre

SymTRX Corn Yield Results

Sixteen corn trials were

conducted in Iowa, Illinois,

Ohio, Nebraska, Minnesota

and Arkansas in 2016-17.

Net revenue was also factored

in based on product cost

and average price per bushel

from the various locations.

Average net revenueAdvantage: $16.70/acre

The key to nutrient utilization is delivery in a form that crops can

readily use.

SymTRX delivers nutrients to crops in the most plant-available form when they

are needed most. This delivery system, called the Organic MaTRX, was designed

with an eye toward sustainability and environmental stewardship.

SymTRX’s nutrient formula includes ammonium N and sulfate sulfur. These

nutrients are released gradually and efficiently as the Organic MaTRX breaks

down, delivering nutrients and carbon that benefit plant and soil health. By

using SymTRX, up to 16% organic matter is returned to the soil.

Breakthrough Technology Delivers “ ““It’s the first product that

we’ve ever used on corn

that visibly you could tell

where you put it. It

was amazing what the

corn looked like, the

health, how much

darker green it was.”

Average Rice Yield Advantage: 8.5 bu per acre

SymTRX RICE Yield Results

Seven rice trials were

conducted in Arkansas,

Louisiana and Mississippi.

Net revenue was calculated

based on product cost and

average price per bushel.

SymTRX’s efficient uptake and utilization by crops adds up to

greener, healthier crops and higher yields.

Healthier Crops Look IT

SCOTT WATSONGreen Point AgParagould, AR

In nature, plants easily absorb nutrients from the soil. They are bioavailable. The

same is true with SymTRX. Nutrients are quickly, then slowly released and bioavailable

to the growing crop. The nutrient delivery system is different from other slow release

products, and in fact, mimics nature.

It started when Anuvia scientists, concerned with protecting and managing resources,

identified organic waste as a social and economic problem. They determined that

reclaiming, reusing and converting organic waste streams into a high efficiency plant

nutrient could represent a better way to return nutrients and organic matter to the soil.

In addition, because of efficient plant utilization, Anuvia plant nutrients boost crop per-

formance. SymTRX is proof positive for both the environment and crop performance.

What Happens in Nature, Happens with SymTRX “ ““ “

“I think it's great that we

can take waste and

utilize it in some other

form to help us grow

our crops.”

“It's basically a recycled

product. My growers like

the idea of having a

reusable source and feel

good about helping the

environment.” “It handles really well. It flows really good, mixes well coming out

of the spreader trucks. We’re getting a nice, uniform spread

once we pan test the trucks. It seems to stay consistent

and we’re not having to readjust trucks with different loads.

…Sustainability is going to be a big issue in the ag industry

and the country. We've got to find ways to get rid of different

wastes. I think this is a good way to make that happen.”

Eight cotton trials were

conducted in Arkansas,

Tennessee, Mississippi,

Texas, Virginia and Alabama.

Net revenue was calculated

based on product cost and

average price per bale.

SymTRX “pays it forward” for the soil.

SymTRX returns 16% organic matter to the soil. Organic matter improves water

holding capacity of the soil and provides a food source for microbes living there.

‘Feed the soil’ means feeding the microbes in the soil because it is the microbes that

make nutrients available to plants. Microbes are fed by adding organic material.

Conventional fertilizers feed the plants while SymTRX feeds the plants and the soil

microbes which makes for healthier plants and healthier soils.

Feeding the Soil

U.S.D.A. Natural Resources

Conservation Service

“Dynamic soil quality is how soil changes depending on how it is

managed. Management choices affect the amount of soil organic

matter, soil structure, soil depth and water and nutrient holding capacity.

Understanding soil health means assessing and managing soil so that

it functions optimally now and is not degraded for future use.”

While many companies and

products claim sustainability, few

can demonstrate regenerative

processes to this extent.

Sustainability at its Best

Organic Matter Matters

In the circular economy, a crop is grown,

then consumed and a waste stream is

then created. Anuvia reprocesses the

waste stream and combines it with in-

organic nutrients to create its enhanced

efficiency fertilizer. The fertilizer is then

applied to a new crop and the cycle

begins again.

Research Estimates A

This table summarizes research trials conducted in 2016 and 2017. Yield increases

resulting in positive net revenues are demonstrated in corn, cotton, rice and sugar beets.

Limited trials were also conducted on wheat and canola showing positive yield increases.

When it comes to soil health, organic matter is the foundation. In addition to

providing nutrients to growing plants, organic matter helps soils absorb and

store water which is especially important during years of drought. Organic

matter affects every aspect of healthy soil and almost always impacts crop

yield. The overriding benefit of healthy soil is food production.

Anuvia understands the importance of soil health to improving crop yield, but

also because of the need to protect resources for future generations. Our

approach to fertilization is to replenish and nourish—and to do so in such a

way that is uniquely environmentally-friendly and sustainable.

According to USDA, for every

1% increase in organic matter in

soil, U.S. farms could store the

amount of water that goes

over Niagara Falls in 150 days.

Changing the GameWe help plants—and people—thrive. Anuvia products are game-changers that support

growers striving to economically produce more food, while providing the environmental

stewardship to maintain this success in the long term.

Our high-performance fertilizers provide a way to achieve better results using products

that are good for the planet Earth as well as its soil. It's something growers can feel

good about. It simply makes good sense.
