Itronics Inc., Reno, Nev., reports that nine-month sales for its Gold’n Gro fertilizer were up 59 percent to $1.52 million from the year-ago $954,059. It said third-quarter sales were up 42 percent.
“The Gold’n Gro fertilizer sales growth achieved in the first nine months is expanding in the fourth quarter,” said Dr. John Whitney, Itronics President. “Our Gold’n Gro sales team is demonstrating exciting new field applications for the fertilizer that are expected to lead to significant expansion of fourth quarter sales. We are successfully expanding and diversifying Gold’n Gro fertilizer sales in our existing markets and establishing sales in the California coastal vegetable markets which will greatly reduce the seasonality of the business in coming years.”
Itronics converts 100 percent of spent photo liquids into liquid fertilizers, silver bullion and silver bearing glass. The company said it is now integrating iron and sulfur bearing liquids being produced by a new leaching technology into the fertilizer manufacturing operation thereby reducing the cost of raw materials for the fertilizers and improving their profitability.
