Growers, Turf Professionals Re-order Products
Converted Organics Inc. (NASDAQ:COIN)
announced today that customers who purchased and used the Company’s
all-natural, organic fertilizers this season are reporting positive
results and have placed additional orders for the remainder of the 2009
growing season. Converted Organics’ all-natural fertilizers are used on
a variety of organic and conventional crops, as well as by landscape
professionals.
“This is the first year I have used Converted-Organics Liquid
Concentrate 1-1-1 and my cranberries are plentiful and the plant is
healthy. This has been a difficult year, with little sunshine and
constant rain, causing the berry size to be smaller than normal this
time of year, but overall the crop looks good,” said Phil DeMoranville,
owner of Kingfisher Corporation in Dartmouth, MA, who has been growing
organic cranberries for 10 years. “The plant is very healthy and strong
going into the berry rot season, which is very important because we
cannot apply fungicides to organic crops. We have very few products to
use in organic growing of cranberries and, from what I see at this time,
Converted Organics is something new and has a place in organic farming.”
Neil Wendell, a third-generation golf course superintendent at New
Bedford Country Club in New Bedford, MA used Converted Organics’ Liquid
Concentrate 1-1-1 on his greens this season for the first time.
“We are constantly challenged by Mother Nature and local growing
conditions, and we look for products that help us reduce our carbon
footprint; after all, we are in the green industry. We added Converted
Organics’ Liquid Concentrate 1-1-1 to our green maintenance program this
year, and the result is that we have a very strong-looking plant,” said
Mr. Wendell. “This is important going into our stress period of heat and
humidity. We are looking for the SAR affect on the plant’s ability to
tolerate stress from cultural practices, such as mowing below one-eighth
of an inch, and our seasonal play at its highest, which weaken the turf
and allow fungus to get a foothold during stress conditions. We have had
fungus problems in the past and, from what I see at this time, we look
good.”
“Testimonials from growers and turf professionals on the front lines,
provide valuable insight into the performance of Converted Organics’
fertilizer products in everyday growing conditions,” said Edward J.
Gildea, President of Converted Organics.
