Itronics
Joins Forces With Florida Company to Supply GOLD'n GRO
Liquid Fertilizer Injectors for the Landscape
Maintenance, Wholesale and Retail Nursery Markets
RENO, Nev., March 24 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Itronics
Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: ITRO; Frankfurt and Berlin
Stock Exchanges: ITG) reported today that its
subsidiary, Itronics Metallurgical, Inc., has completed
an agreement with Chemilizer Products, Inc., Largo,
Florida, to jointly market a highly effective injector
system for the rapidly growing fertigation markets.
Chemilizer will provide Itronics Metallurgical with a
GOLD'n GRO liquid fertilizer delivery system via two
injectors, the HN55 and CP33, which will be used by
Itronics Metallurgical's customers in lawn and landscape
maintenance programs and by wholesale and retail nursery
and greenhouse operators.
Itronics Metallurgical will market the new liquid
fertilizer injectors both at its web site,
http://www.goldngro.com, and through its expanded
distribution network.
"Itronics Metallurgical is pleased to now offer an
excellent line of liquid fertilizer injectors for the
Landscape Construction and Maintenance markets and also
for the Nursery and Greenhouse markets," said Dr. John
Whitney, Itronics President. "The injector units are
environmentally friendly and energy efficient because
they are powered by the natural flow of the irrigation
water. They are reliable, efficient, extremely accurate
and easy to install and use."
"The Chemilizer non-electric injection systems are
currently used in agriculture, commercial and industrial
applications and have undergone extensive testing for
residential, municipal, and commercial use," Dr. Whitney
said. "Adding these systems to the Itronics
Metallurgical liquid fertilizer injector offering
represents another strategic step in improving the ease
and reliability of application and in expanding the
market for the GOLD'n GRO liquid fertilizers. Itronics
Metallurgical's distributor network, which is being
expanded this year, now has exposure to more than 20,000
potential customers for these products."
Fertigation with liquid fertilizers is beneficial for
the environment. When dry fertilizers are applied, they
sit on the ground until they are dissolved by irrigation
water or rain. Because of this, they are often washed
away into storm sewers, or leached into ground waters,
or washed into streams, rivers, or lakes. GOLD'n GRO
chelated liquid fertilizers are readily absorbed through
the blades, leaves and roots of the plants, virtually
eliminating runoff.
Chemilizer's President, Frank Daniels, said that,
"Itronics Metallurgical has a line of fertilizers that
complement our injectors. In combination, they make
periodic or continuous application of fertilizer simple
and almost effortless for the commercial operator or the
homeowner. You just set the injector and forget!"
Chemilizer Products, Inc., a leading manufacturer of
liquid fertilizer and chemical delivery systems, is
based in Largo, Florida. Chemilizer was founded in 1976,
is privately owned, and has 20,000 square feet of
manufacturing and administrative space.

Metallurgical, Inc., is the only company in the world
with a "Beneficial Use Photochemical, Silver, and Water
