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. Contact our research team to learn more about research and field studies.
