HHGS BioScience™, a Florida-based manufacturer of dry-delivery, functional carbon, and Tiger-Sul® Products LLC, a producer of sulfur bentonite and micronutrient-enhanced crop performance products, on March 7 announced a new strategic partnership to develop and commercialize a portfolio of high-value soil health and nutritional products.
The first product in their joint venture will be Tiger® Humi[K]™ 4%, which combines functional carbon with sulfur bentonite in one pastille.The new product will be available this month, and combines both companies’ flagship products in one formulation, which they said will improve soil health, increases nutrient uptakes, reduce plant stress, and promote higher yields.
“This is a classic example of the sum being greater than the parts, said Scott Messer, Vice President of HGS BioScience™. “We are always thinking about ways to get our Performance Technology™ to customers who want to get more out of each acre. The ability to get both these products at once with Tiger Humi[K] is just that solution.”
HGS BioScience™ and Tiger-Sul said they have been in talks for months to establish the details of the partnership. Discussions are already underway for other products and joint marketing efforts. After the launch of Tiger Humi[K] 4%, the companies said they are focused on research and development for new humic acid and micronutrient formulations.
“Growers are always looking for ways to lower input costs, improve efficiency, and increase yields,” said Kit Rowe, Vice President – Sales and Marketing, for Shelton, Conn.-based Tiger-Sul. “We believe this new combination product hits all three marks with one convenient pastille. Growers can make fewer applications, and boost productivity.”
