TJ Technologies Inc., an agricultural company based in Watertown, S.D., dedicated to developing and providing plant-focused microbial technologies and micronutrient products to growers, announced that they have received notification that a specially formulated version of QuickRoots has been officially registered by OMRI (the Organic Materials Review Institute). The new formulation, QuickRoots Organic ST is available now and will be marketed through a partnership with INCOTEC to the organic market.

"QuickRoots has demonstrated proven performance on a wide variety of crops for many years, and now we’re pleased to extend our reach to the organic market, so they can also benefit from our technology,” says TJ Technologies, Inc. President, Tom Johnson.

The relationship with INCOTEC, a global leader in seed coating and the seed treatment industry, gives those in the organic market an opportunity to access QuickRoots Organic ST from a well-recognized source. It is applied as a seed treatment offered by INCOTEC and INCOTEC President, David Pickenpaugh sees the relationship as a great opportunity stating ”QuickRoots Organic ST is an innovative seed additive that will provide value to the organic market. We value our relationship with TJ Technologies as we create unique product combinations that enhance crop performance.”

QuickRoots, launched in 2004, is a foundational, microbial, seed inoculant proven in field trials to increase yield. The patented, live microorganisms in QuickRoots facilitate a novel enzymatic process which releases soil nutrients from the soil profile, thereby increasing seedling vigor, root volume, and fine root hairs, resulting in significantly increased yields.

The yield response generated by QuickRoots is not duplicated by other seed treatments and QuickRoots is formulated with a combination of beneficial bacterial and fungal components that provide a synergistic dual mode of action.

The QuickRoots Organic ST includes formulations for large field crops, as well as a special formulation for all vegetable crops.

"We continue to develop innovative biological technologies that provide added value to crop producers, as well as explore strategic partnerships with companies which are leaders in their own area of expertise such as INCOTEC,” says Johnson. INCOTEC’s Pickenpaugh added “We believe QuickRoots® Organic ST truly benefits organic producers. In combination with INCOTEC’s technologies, unique products are provided that strengthen the plants and increase yield.”
