Why Does Thriva Work?

Urea and anhydrous work because they provide ammonium nitrogen to plants. Thriva’s key ingredient is ammonium derived from manure. Using Thriva will provide plants with the ammonium nitrogen they need. Simply put, Thriva works because ammonium works.

One gallon of Thriva contains the same amount of ammonium nitrogen found in 40 gallons of manure

Thriva works because Ammonium Works

Thriva contains ammonium nitrogen from manure, all of which is 100% available in the first year.

Plants can use either ammonium or nitrate - no other forms of nitrogen are available for immediate plant absorption.

Farmers know ammonium works. Ammonium is the key ingredient in urea, anhydrous, and manure. Farmers trust the performance of ammonium in urea, anhydrous, and consistent quality manure. Ammonium derived from manure is the key ingredient in Thriva. Farmers can trust the performance of the ammonium in Thriva.

Solve the Organic Dilemma
with Ammonium

One of the main criticisms of organic agriculture has consistently been lower crop yield compared to non-organic systems; data analyses have repeatedly shown a consistent yield gap between the two systems. Insufficient ammonium nitrogen is the primary cause of the yield gap.

Organic crop farmers face a dilemma: currently available organic fertilizers are low in immediately plant-available nitrogen, specifically ammonium. Traditionally, the only organic fertilizer with sufficient ammonium is fresh manure, but manure supply is not always dependable or cost-effective. And we all know how unsafe fresh manure can be.

Just the good stuff

  • Designed to address the yield-limiting nitrogen gap present in organic farming

  • Achieves full yield potential and optimum test weight

  • Ammonium is immediately plant available for the fastest possible plant absorption

  • Mineralization not required for plant availability like with protein based - amino acid fertilizers

  • Easy flow - will not plug lines

  • Contains sequestered carbon-feeds the soil

None of the bad stuff

  • Pathogen free

  • Does not leach like nitrate

  • No sodium like Chilean nitrate

  • No synthetic stabilizing acids added like in fish emulsion

  • No caustics used to raise pH during production

  • Not Haber-Bosch

  • Not hygroscopic; does not harm soil microbes like anhydrous ammonia

  • No toxic biuret like synthetic urea

Comparing the True Unit Cost of N

Other nitrogen sources rely on soil bacteria to convert plant or animal-based organic nitrogen to ammonium. Typically, only 20-50% of the N contained in a traditional organic fertilizer is available to the plant in the first year.

Thriva is not only 100% available to the plant in the first year, but completely available at the time of application. The first year plant availability is a conversion factor essential to calculating the true unit cost of N alternatives. 

Increase Yield. Decrease Input.
