1 A Sustainable Solution for Better Crops

2 On Time and On Target This innovative, slow-release high-performance fertilizer delivers a balanced nutrient package to crops when crops need it most. Produced from organic material reclaimed from food, livestock, or municipal sources, uses a proprietary technology to deliver nutrients to crops slowly: 65% during the first two weeks, and the remaining 35% over six to eight weeks. This results in less nutrient loss via leaching and volatility, with an additional benefit of improved soil health and increased yields. Average Corn Research Yield Advantage: 7.4 bu per acre Corn Yield Results Yield (bu/acre) Sixteen corn trials were conducted in Iowa, Illinois, Ohio, Nebraska, Minnesota and Arkansas in Net revenue was also factored in based on product cost and average price per bushel from the various locations. Advantage: $16.70/acre Yield (bu/acre) Breakthrough Technology Delivers The key to nutrient utilization is delivery in a form that crops can readily use. delivers nutrients to crops in the most plant-available form when they are needed most. This delivery system, called the Organic MaTRX, was designed with an eye toward sustainability and environmental stewardship. s nutrient formula includes ammonium N and sulfate sulfur. These nutrients are released gradually and efficiently as the Organic MaTRX breaks down, delivering nutrients and carbon that benefit plant and soil health. By using, up to 16% organic matter is returned to the soil Average Rice Yield Advantage: 8.5 bu per acre RICE Yield Results LA LA LA MS Seven rice trials were conducted in Arkansas, Louisiana and Mississippi. average price per bushel. Advantage: $34.70/acre It s the first product that we ve ever used on corn that visibly you could tell where you put it. It was amazing what the corn looked like, the health, how much darker green it was. Jim Braddock Fredericktown, OH

3 Healthier Crops Look IT s efficient uptake and utilization by crops adds up to greener, healthier crops and higher yields. Average Cotton Research Yield Advantage: 68.2 lbs per acre Eight cotton trials were conducted in Arkansas, Tennessee, Mississippi, Texas, Virginia and Alabama. average price per bale. Advantage: $38.57/acre Yield (lbs/acre) Cotton Yield Results TX It handles really well. It flows really good, mixes well coming out of the spreader trucks. We re getting a nice, uniform spread once we pan test the trucks. It seems to stay consistent and we re not having to readjust trucks with different loads TN MS Sustainability is going to be a big issue in the ag industry and the country. We've got to find ways to get rid of different wastes. I think this is a good way to make that happen TN TX VA SCOTT WATSON Green Point Ag Paragould, Yield (lbs/acre) What Happens in Nature, Happens with In nature, plants easily absorb nutrients from the soil. They are bioavailable. The same is true with. Nutrients are quickly, then slowly released and bioavailable to the growing crop. The nutrient delivery system is different from other slow release products, and in fact, mimics nature. It started when Anuvia scientists, concerned with protecting and managing resources, identified organic waste as a social and economic problem. They determined that reclaiming, reusing and converting organic waste streams into a high efficiency plant nutrient could represent a better way to return nutrients and organic matter to the soil. In addition, because of efficient plant utilization, Anuvia plant nutrients boost crop performance. is proof positive for both the environment and crop performance. Average Sugar Beet Research Yield Advantage: lbs per acre SUG BEET Yield Results 16,000 15,000 14,000 13,000 12,000 11,000 10,000 9,000 8,000 7, MI MN ND MI +337 MN-2 Five sugar beet trials were conducted in Michigan, Minnesota and North Dakota. average price per ton. Advantage: $67.66/acre I think it's great that we can take waste and utilize it in some other form to help us grow our crops. Danny QuaLls Paragould, It's basically a recycled product. My growers like the idea of having a reusable source and feel good about helping the environment. Tom Boyd B&B Farm Service Fredricktown, OH

4 Feeding the Soil pays it forward for the soil. returns 16% organic matter to the soil. Organic matter improves water holding capacity of the soil and provides a food source for microbes living there. Feed the soil means feeding the microbes in the soil because it is the microbes that make nutrients available to plants. Microbes are fed by adding organic material. Conventional fertilizers feed the plants while feeds the plants and the soil microbes which makes for healthier plants and healthier soils. Dynamic soil quality is how soil changes depending on how it is managed. Management choices affect the amount of soil organic matter, soil structure, soil depth and water and nutrient holding capacity. Understanding soil health means assessing and managing soil so that it functions optimally now and is not degraded for future use.

Natural Resources Conservation Service Positive Net Revenue % This table summarizes research trials conducted in 2016 and Yield increases resulting in positive net revenues are demonstrated in corn, cotton, rice and sugar beets. Limited trials were also conducted on wheat and canola showing positive yield increases. Organic Matter Matters When it comes to soil health, organic matter is the foundation. In addition to providing nutrients to growing plants, organic matter helps soils absorb and store water which is especially important during years of drought. Organic matter affects every aspect of healthy soil and almost always impacts crop yield. The overriding benefit of healthy soil is food production. Anuvia understands the importance of soil health to improving crop yield, but also because of the need to protect resources for future generations. Our approach to fertilization is to replenish and nourish and to do so in such a way that is uniquely environmentally-friendly and sustainable. According to USDA, for every 1% increase in organic matter in soil, U.S. farms could store the amount of water that goes over Niagara Falls in 150 days. Sustainability at its Best While many companies and products claim sustainability, few can demonstrate regenerative processes to this extent. In the circular economy, a crop is grown, then consumed and a waste stream is then created. Anuvia reprocesses the waste stream and combines it with inorganic nutrients to create its enhanced efficiency fertilizer. The fertilizer is then applied to a new crop and the cycle begins again.

5 Changing the Game We help plants and people thrive. Anuvia products are game-changers that support growers striving to economically produce more food, while providing the environmental stewardship to maintain this success in the long term. Our high-performance fertilizers provide a way to achieve better results using products that are good for the planet Earth as well as its soil. It's something growers can feel good about. It simply makes good sense. Ronnie Helms G&H Associates Stuttgart, Everybody s looking for something new and better whether it s a rice variety or a tractor. You want the most efficient, cost effective product you can get. And you want a return on your investment. fits in a lot of those categories West Jones Avenue P.O. Box 220 Zellwood, FL (352)
