Anuvia receives sustainability award
Anuvia Plant Nutrients recently were named Edison Award winners by Edison Universe for its organic MaTRX technology.
The company received Bronze Award recognition in the Sustainability category.
Its GreenTRX for turf is a slow-release delivery system that mimics what happens to organic matter in the soil. It places up to 17 percent organic matter back in the soil. It does not use any of the current chemical or poly coating technologies used by other slow release products. Anuvia products reduce nutrient losses in the environment and deliver a balanced nutrient package for crops and turf.
The Edison Awards and Edison Universe recognize innovation that creates a positive impact on the world.
