Earth Alive Clean Technologies Inc. recently provided an update on trials of its Soil Activator product with the Company’s distribution and sales partner Brenntag Latin America (“BLA”) 。
Earth Alive’s Soil Activator™ is a patent pending, CFRA registered microbial biofertilizer designed to produce healthier plants and higher yields by improving nutrient availability in the soil. Currently, BLA clients in 5 different countries are involved in 62 ongoing trials on 30 different crops using Earth Alive’s patented microbial biofertilizer.
Mrs. Paola Correal, Director of Operations for the company stated, “Aside from these on-going trials, we have a number of new trials about to get underway as we have recently obtained registration for Soil Activator™ in Guatemala, Honduras and Colombia. We are pleased to be continuously demonstrating that our biofertiliser technology brings value to the agriculture community. Consequently, we are seeing wide scale product adoption of Soil Activator™ over the past months following successful on-going trials, and more are coming.” Mrs. Correal further added, “Large-scale test applications on a variety of crops such as bananas, tomatoes, pumpkins, avocadoes, and grapes are underway in many regions of Latin America and we look forward to sharing more of these outstanding test results as those recently obtained on Avocadoes in Chile”.
A recent test concluded by a Brenntag client in the Quillota V Region of Chile on avocadoes demonstrated that the average weight of the fruit from trees treated with Soil Activator™ were 295.5 grams, versus untreated plants of 255.5 grams. This resulted in an average 16% increase in avocado yield. Moreover, a statistically significant number of trees treated with Soil Activator™ produced fruits that were of grade 1, for which a higher value is paid on the market.
Michael Warren, Vice president of Earth Alive’s Agriculture Division stated, “Earth Alive’s Soil Activator™ continues to demonstrate impressive results in farm trials on all types of crops all over the world. We consistently see increases in overall yields and quality confirming our product’s positioning and strength as a non-crop specific biofertilizer. We are happy to see adoption of Soil Activator™ into the fertilization plan by our trial clients throughout their farms and plantations.”
