Tranlin Inc., Charlottesville, Va., has announced the launch of its new line of plant-derived fulvic and humic acid fertilizer products. The Vastly Better Roots products are soil amendment and biostimulant products to improve long-term soil health, enhance nutrient uptake, increase plant vigor, and boost yield.
Tranlin, which has constructed a major pulp and fertilizer plant near Richmond, Va., (GM June 23, 2014), says the water-soluble fertilizer is available now in granular and liquid forms in Virginia followed soon by California, Texas and Florida and eventually nationally.
The products are derived from post-harvest crop residue. Tranlin uses a proprietary straw pulping process to extract fulvic and humic acids. The pulp is milled into tree-free paper napkins, bathroom and facial tissue products.
Tranlin is the U.S. based subsidiary of Shandong Tranlin Paper Co. Ltd.
