For Jerry Miller, President of AgriTec, RhiZoneV* is the culmination of years of research and experience in designing balanced nutrient products that would maximize a producer’s return on investment. “The idea behind AgriTec was to develop fertilizer programs that would offer balanced plant nutrition,”according to Miller. AgriTec has been in business since 1999 and now services over 150 growers in North Dakota, South Dakota, southern Canada and Montana.With the growth of soybean acreage, Miller and AgriTec have been working to develop new products specifically designed to increase yields on soybean acreage. The newest product which will be ready for the 2019 growing season is RhiZoneV.

RhiZoneV is a soybean inoculant with bradyrhizobium japonicumand trichoderma virens. RhiZoneV is also a planter box talc and graphite replacement. “This past year AgXplore introduced GroPakSB. The results were very positive. Byadding (Mycorrhizae), we createdRhiZoneV, a product that is developed exclusively for Agritec and available through area retailers.”

A key ingredient inRhiZoneV is Mycorrhizae, whichforms tiny filaments thatattaches to the root of the plant and helps the root system extract nutrientsand watermore efficiently from the soil.

RhiZoneV will benefit a plant that is growing in stressful conditions, helping a plant toovercome soil environments at the soil surface.There is a strong symbiotic relationship between a growing plant, soil and fungi such as bradyrhizobium, trichoderma and mycorrhizae. Adding RhiZoneV to the seed prior to planting will effectively accomplish any need for double inoculating.

Miller encourages local growers to stop by the KMOT Ag Expo and visit with AgriTec staff aboutRhiZoneV, and to contact their local retailers about includingRhiZoneV in their inventoryfor the 2019 planting season.
