Itronics'
GOLD'n GRO Liquid Fertilizer Named One of Top 10 New
Agricultural Technologies
RENO, Nev., Jan. 17 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Itronics
Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: ITRO; Frankfurt and Berlin
Stock Exchanges: ITG) reported today its GOLD'n GRO
liquid fertilizer has been named one of the top 10 new
technologies representing the best of agricultural
innovation by the Canadian Association of Agri-Retailers
in its monthly publication "Communicator."
The award to Itronics says: "From Lab to Ground.
Itronics Inc. -- the world's first and only
photochemical recycling company -- introduces GOLD'n GRO
fertilizer, proving that the power of soil-destroying
waste liquids can be harnessed to develop a product that
helps growers."
An article in the December 2005 edition of the
publication tells the story of the founding and
development of Itronics. "It took us 15 years to go from
concept to having a proven line of field-demonstrated
products that are effective and agronomically
beneficial," Dr. John Whitney, Itronics President, is
quoted in the article. "The photochemical manufacturers
didn't think it could be done."
The base of GOLD'n GRO fertilizer is a mixture of
thiosulfates and chelates from which the non-nutrient
metals have been removed, the article explains. When
combined with normally-applied nitrogen, phosphate,
potassium and other essential nutrients, the base liquid
helps plant roots to better feed off the soil. In 2004,
an estimated 600,000 acres of cotton, vegetables, fruit
and nut trees and wine and table grapes were fertilized
with the GOLD'n GRO line of chelated liquid fertilizers.
Dr. Whitney said the company is pleased by the
recognition from Canada. "It's a tremendous vote of
confidence in the quality and viability of the
technology that we've created."
