The science behind how Thriva works

There are only two forms of nitrogen considered to be immediately plant-available - ammonium and nitrate. All others must be converted to ammonium or nitrate by soil microbes to become available to the plant. Increasing time and yields. Ammonium, reigns supreme as nitrate is unfortunately susceptible to leaching.

Thriva, our organic ammonium fertilizer, is immediately ready for plant absorption the instant it is applied to the soil. This immediate absorption means sequestered carbon feeds soil bacteria, improving soil biology for a healthier, more robust growing environment. Providing valuable nutrients to the plant on contact - resulting in a 20-40% increase in yield.

Other products claim to be “fast-acting.” Experience Thriva, discover the true difference between fast-acting and immediate, and solve the unrealized “yield gap” problem that has plagued farmers for centuries.

Pathogen Free

Thriva is a concentrated ammonium nitrogen derived from manure without any pathogens or sources of food-borne illness. The use of Thriva also reduces the environmental liabilities of handling raw manure while sequestering carbon and addressing the historic yield shortfalls of organic agriculture.

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.

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.
