ASTI Reaches Co-Marketing Agreement With First Amendment Fertilizer

First Amendment's fertilizer, when used alone in its liquid form, has exhibited successful results on a variety of crops. ASTI said research has determined that when this fertilizer is in dry form and blended with Agriblend Plus, only one application is needed in order to provide two crop treatments, therefore lowering the grower's cost. This combined effect is a direct result of Agriblend Plus' ability to hold water and nutrients at the root zone, which allows the fertilizer product to remain at a level in the soil where it provides maximum benefit to the plant.

Sean Lee, executive vice president of sales and marketing for ASTI, said, "These products, when combined, create an exceptional and affordable treatment that will improve crop quality and quantity. The fertilizer is a natural product that replaces extracted minerals and microbes. When blended with Agriblend Plus, the need for water is reduced, and the plant has a natural, balanced and comprehensive fertilizer providing all of its soil requirements.

"Being able to provide a product that reduces water consumption and uses a fertilizer that contributes beneficial microbes and nutrients for use in both agriculture and horticulture contributes both to the industry and the environment," Lee continued.

He also said ASTI intends to have a consumer retail product within a year.
