Nutrients from the sea

Non-Commodity Crops

Lettuce Farm

Non-commodity crops, including high-value vegetables, fruits, turfgrass, and ornamental plants, play an essential role in diversifying agriculture and meeting consumer demand for premium, niche products. Unlike commodity crops, these crops often have specific nutrient requirements tied closely to quality, appearance, and taste, which are key to marketability. Additionally, non-commodity crops are frequently cultivated in smaller or specialized operations, where efficiency, quality, and sustainability are priorities to optimize production value.

​

Green Soil® fertilizers offer customized nutrient solutions for these unique crops, delivering nutrients in a citrate-responsive, slow-release formula tailored to their growth needs. By using Green Soil® products, growers can provide essential nutrients at precise growth stages, enhancing quality characteristics such as fruit size, color, taste, bloom intensity, and turf resilience. This approach maximizes not only the yield but also the quality and sustainability of non-commodity crops, allowing producers to meet high consumer expectations while conserving resources.
