  • The Future is Here: Redefining Nitrogen Management with RDX-N®

    —Sponsored Content—

    Nitrogen is the backbone of crop production — no matter the crop, the region, or the state of the ag economy. But getting the most out of every pound you apply can differentiate a good season from a poor one. That’s where RDX-N® from Redox Bio-Nutrients comes in. This patented, plant-active botanical extract helps your crop use nitrogen more efficiently. It is the result of more than a decade of research and development.

    “RDX-N® is a flagship product because we now know how to make synthetic nitrogen fertilizer better,” said Redox Owner, Founder and CEO Darin Moon. “This is a long-term use, because use rates are extremely low and it’s very cost effective. Whether nitrogen is $1,000 a ton or $200 a ton, RDX-N® is cost-effective across the board because it is helping metabolize and make that nitrogen better. This should be integrated as a long-term play.”

    Real Results in the Field

    Redox agronomists are already working alongside nut growers throughout the Central Valley, and the reports are encouraging, including stronger overall crop health and improved yield.

    We continue to receive more data on product efficacy through a variety of sources, including commercial use, company research, and third party analysis from universities and contract research organizations.

    Redox Bio-Nutrients is among the top 20 biostimulant companies in the world, according to market research by DunhamTrimmer. The company’s technology is now trusted on a wide variety of crops and turf grass throughout the United States and around the globe.

    The Science Behind the Results

    At the core of RDX-N® — and the entire Redox product line — are Redox Active Molecules (RAM), plant-active compounds that regulate energy flow inside the plant. That regulation is what keeps a plant balanced, and a balanced plant is the single most important factor in yield and quality. Balanced plants channel energy into growth, yield and reproductive development. When it’s out of balance, that energy gets diverted into correction instead of production.

    So what exactly is RDX-N®? It’s important to start with what it isn’t: it is not a biological, a nitrogen stabilizer, or a nitrogen-fixing bacteria. When used in small amounts alongside synthetic nitrogen, it allows growers to cut nitrogen use by up to 50 percent — without sacrificing performance. This is possible because RDX-N® was built to support a plant’s natural metabolism and utilize applied nitrogen more efficiently. It’s easy to use and drops right into your existing fertility program. The result is reduced oxidative stress caused by nitrates and a significant boost in season-long uptake, utilization and performance unmatched in the industry.

    “I believe that RDX-N® is the future of agriculture,” said A.J. Borges, Redox Agronomist in Central California. “It’s uniquely using a biostimulant to stimulate the plant for better performance, helping the health and vitality of the plant. It’s a highly versatile product that can eliminate a lot of the nitrogen issues being experienced.”

    Get More From Your Nitrogen

    Growers face no shortage of challenges every season. The right technology can help you build a smarter, more resilient fertility program — one that delivers higher performance and more consistent results, year after year. Getting the most from your nitrogen isn’t just good agronomy; it’s good business.

  • Building on a Strong Foundation

    –Sponsored Content–

    Strong roots are a pivotal part of successful farming, regardless of the crop or growing region.

    Rootex® and Rootex® Flowable provide unique benefits in this area. Not only does this technology help drive lateral root development and mass, Rootex is also designed to overcome one of the biggest nutrient challenges that exists in agriculture- phosphorus tie-up in the soil.

    Redox Owner, Founder and CEO Darin Moon said Rootex has an organic molecule package that alleviates tie up, making phosphorus markedly more efficient. He added its amino acid package is what boosts lateral root branching.

    The results benefit yield and quality in the immediate and long term.

    “For 50 years, we’ve all bought into the concept of building your soil,” Moon said. “The reality is that approach is more expensive than it has ever been. That math doesn’t add up. Considering the current economic conditions, it makes sense to take some of the phosphorus out of the soil that growers have been putting in and metabolize it. Rootex is a catalyst in this area.”

    Rootex contains Redox Active Molecules (RAM), which maintain electrical balance in plants, keeping nutrients in plant available form for improved uptake.

    Additionally, this product is designed with a low salt load, supporting overall soil health. It also strengthens the soil-root connection, ensuring more effective nutrient delivery to the plant.

    Rootex has one of the longest track records with Redox, with more than two decades of success in commercial farms throughout the United States.

    Like the entire Redox product line, growers can do more with less through Rootex. Application rates range from ¼ to 1 ½ gallons per acre for Rootex Flowable to one to six pounds per acre for the dry technology.

    Redox Bio-Nutrients is a family owned and operated business based in Burley, Idaho.  Products involve carefully sourced nutrients combined with biostimulants that help with nutrient uptake, abiotic stress defense, root growth and soil health. Redox is the only company in the world with multiple certified biostimulants through rigorous independent analysis from The Fertilizer Institute.

  • Jumpstart your Growing Season with Redox during Bloom and Post-Bloom

    —Sponsored Content—

    Bloom is upon us and it is time to pick a quality product to increase crop set. Nutrition decisions made now will have a major impact on your yield and quality during harvest.

    Redox Bio-Nutrients technology has been specially formulated with Redox Active Molecules (RAM), to keep plants in balance, allowing them to increase yield. When plants are balanced, they focus on reproductive and vegetative processes.

    Here are specific ways Redox can help:

    Supreme™ delivers RAM derived complexed mineral and bio stimulant properties. These specifically drive early season movement of sugars and nitrogen metabolism in our crops. Applying Supreme™ during bloom and shortly after bloom improves crop set and size, depending on application timing. Here is some data to back that up.



    Material was applied with an air blast sprayer at a spray volume of 100 gallons per acre. Nuts from each tree were isolated and field weights were taken. Each sub-sample was hand cracked for quality evaluations. Supreme™ was applied three times and 2 lbs./acre, with applications at pre-bloom, petal fall and at five weeks. Nut weight, kernel size and percent of blank kernels were evaluated. The results were impressive. Supreme™ increased yield by 30.3% and decreased blanks by 38.1%.

    Supreme Product

    Improve Nitrogen Metabolism with Velox™ (formerly V-55).

    Velox™ is specially formulated to improve general reproductive energy in plants. This product uses complexing technology to improve mobility of phosphorus, zinc and boron in the plant.

    As with the Redox product line, a little goes a long way. Suggested application is 1-2 lbs. per acre. This product has been proven to increase the set of fruit, nuts, and other crops!!! Check the data for yourself.

    Don’t forget Calcium and Silicon at Bloom – Redox sets the standard with These Nutrients

    Calcium plays a pivotal role in cell division and defines quality of cell structure. Silicon has symbiotic relationship with Calcium since it helps organize the strong cells that have adequate calcium. This “STACKING” that Redox is known for is a way to increase your crops integrity. Reducing space taken up by oxygen and replacing it with carbon sources. Less air, more fruit, more weight, and more money in your pocket per unit of crop!!! Check data below to see how we will prove it to you!

    Apply 16-32 ounces of Mainstay® Si starting at pink bud, along with Supreme™ applications.

  • CAPCA on the Rise & Role of Biologicals in Crop Protection

    Crop protection tools are becoming more and more regulated and limited in California. Biostimulants, biopesticides and biofertilizers offer more options for growers. How they fit into conventional and organic farming systems is still being investigated and how the California Department of Pesticide Regulation should treat and classify them is still in debate. The California Association of Pest Control Advisers (CAPCA) has been actively involved in the conversation though, advocating for tools for sustainable pest management. At their annual Conference, Malcolm Media Editor-in-Chief Matthew Malcolm sat down with CAPCA State Board Vice President Adam Tavares from AMVAC Chemical as he shared his perspective on where their at and priorities for the future.
