Cutting Edge Solutions to Grow Better Crops. Naturally.
Remineralize and revitalize soil by leveraging the power of volcanic rock.
TephraMax® Soil Amendment makes it easy and economical for farmers and landowners to increase crop yield, revitalize soil fertility, and improve nutrient accessibility by delivering a unique full spectrum of macro and micronutrients over multiple years.
TephraMax® Leverages Enhanced Weathering Of Basalt For Conventional and Organic Agriculture
Increase Crop Yields
TephraMax® promotes significant yield increases for conventional and organic agricultural systems, orchards, forests, and grasslands. Our high standard for the raw materials that form TephraMax ® remineralize soils with a unique full spectrum of macro and micronutrients over multiple years. TephraMax ® provides rapid bioavailability of potassium, phosphorus, calcium, and magnesium for plant growth, strength, and improved yield.
Decreases Traditional Fertilizer and Lime Use
TephraMax® raw materials provide a broad spectrum of essential macronutrients that improve soil health and promote plant growth, allowing farmers to reduce fertilizer application rates over time. TephraMax® raw materials provide essential micronutrients that are often not delivered with traditional fertilizer treatments. TephraMax® balances pH reducing or eliminating the need for lime application.
Decreases Harmful N2O Greenhouse Gas Emissions From Soil
The basalt in TephraMax ® counteracts N2O emissions associated with agricultural practices, which helps retain N in soil. The bicarbonate produced when TephraMax® is applied stabilizes soil pH, reducing the production and release of N2O. Using TephraMax® basaltic volcanic rock for soil remineralization reduces chemical fertilizer runoff through decreased use of traditional fertilizers and lime.
Atmospheric Carbon Dioxide Removal
The basaltic material in TephraMax® permanently sequesters 250-350 kg of CO2 per ton of material applied as the weathering of basalt naturally produces soluble bicarbonate ions. The captured carbon offers high-quality carbon credits, providing strategic value for farmers and landowners.
TephraMax ® is built upon decades of research on basalt EW for crop health and CDR from major agricultural universities in Europe, Asia, and the United States.
