BOSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Converted Organics Inc. (NASDAQ:COIN) announced today that the company has begun taking orders for its Turf Blend™ 6-0-4 organic liquid fertilizer, the first completely soluble, high-nitrogen, organic liquid fertilizer that can be used as the sole source of nitrogen in any turfgrass management plan. Converted Organics developed Turf Blend™ 6-0-4 by using the Company’s proprietary High Temperature Liquid Composting (HTLC) process to combine the nitrogen-rich amino acid lysine with the Company’s primary Liquid Concentrate™ (LC) 1-1-1 organic fertilizer product. “Turf Blend™ 6-0-4 provides turfgrass professionals with a caliber of nitrogen-rich, liquid organic fertilizer that has been previously unavailable to the market, making professional turfgrass maintenance more effective, cost-efficient, and environmentally-friendly,” said Ed Gildea, President of Converted Organics. “The product also provides rapid nutrition response and a very high degree of disease and environmental stress resistance for golf, professional lawncare and turf maintenance programs.” Converted Organics uses a patent-pending lysine-based technology from Archer Daniels Midland Company (ADM) marketed under the brand name NaturStim™. Converted Organics is also currently developing a soluble, high-nitrogen, slow-release organic granular fertilizer that incorporates ADM’s NaturStim™. Converted Organics will submit Turf Blend 6-0-4, as well as the new granular product, to the Organic Materials Review Institute (OMRI) and the United States Department of Agriculture’s National Organic Program (NOP) for official organic certification.
