Sustainable Fertilizing with high-value Products
Our fertilizers are co-products from complex RNG and bioethanol production processes. The Verbio biorefinery approach is a unique closed-loop system that leaves nothing to waste. With our technology we can guarantee the most efficient use of raw materials with minimum CO2 foot print.
One of the co-products from RNG and ethanol production is humus. It is similar in appearance to peat moss or compost. Verbio humus is highly valued as a soil amendment to replace the agronomic value of the feedstock which was harvested. Humus is the black part of soil and is a combination of organic and inorganic material that acts as the kitchen pantry for the plant. It is what supports the biological life, water holding capacity and resiliency of the soil. Having soil with good humic content and good soil biology will help roots multiply and the plant will be supported to reach its genetic potential.
What are the benefits of applying humus to soil?
- Humus will help to increase soil organic matter
- It will improve soil aggregation (more solid ground for the plant to root)
- Improve drainage
- Improve water holding capacity
- Improve soil fertility
- Increase soil nutrient reserves
Applying humus in an active growing environment can help increase the soil biology and increase nutrient availability to the plant, and should help increase yields. It’s a general soil amendment to help the soil rehabilitate itself and regenerate its productive properties. Humus has no offensive odors, has incredible water holding capacity due to high concentration of lignin, and can be land applied in solid form using a typical manure spreader.
Liquid Fertilizers
With the launch of ethanol production at the Nevada, Iowa plant, Verbio can now offer two additional sustainable liquid fertilizers products for retail under the Verbio CropCare line.
- Verbio CropCare ASL fertilizer is a nitrogen and sulfur fertilizer derived from a digestion process of corn DDG’s. From this process ASL is created to make a highly available fertilizer solution that can benefit a wide variety of crops. ASL offers a well-balanced product that offers highly available sulfate sulfur and ammonium nitrogen. It can easily be applied by crop sprayer.
- Verbio CropCare NPK fertilizer acts as a cover all product. It applies the main nutrients needed for optimal plant growth, supports disease resistance and water stress tolerance.
