Explorer 16 0 0 – Plant Derived Organic Nitrogen Fertilizer
Today, Ferticell™ Explorer™ 16-0-0 is our flagship plant-derived organic nitrogen and is the purest form of soy protein nitrogen on the market today.
Unlike other manufacturers, we have a very controlled, one source manufacturing process in Malaga, Spain to maintain quality control, and continually improve the manufacturing process to drive the purity. Depending on the scientific method used for analysis, Ferticell™ Explorer™ is a minimum of 98.6% pure with the remaining “impurities” being moisture content.
Much like our liquid nitrogen fertilizer Explorer™ 10-0-0, Ferticell™ Explorer™ 16-0-0 has a much higher carbon content compared to competitors’ soy protein nitrogen products, giving Explorer™ a much richer, darker, color. Carbon, a fundamental component to life, is essential to plants, soil and soil microorganisms. It has been said that “Healthy Microorganisms = Healthy Soil = Healthy Plants = Greater Yields”, and carbon is the chain that forms the bridge between each of those.
Our soy protein nitrogen, Explorer™ 16-0-0 carries an additional carbon component to bring nutrients to soil microbes and into the plants themselves. Because plants and microbes are, essentially, carbon processors, our carbon-complexed hydrolysate nutrients are taken in faster and more effectively than other protein fertilizers.
With the 98.6% amino acid content, the Explorer™ products with a unique and proprietary ratio, of balanced cell extracts that are vital to life, delivering a positive plant response that is more efficient than the alternative products.

Why Use a Plant-Derived Protein Nitrogen?
Are you using all four forms of Nitrogen in your current fertility program? Most everyone understands the first three forms of Nitrogen being nitrate, Ammoniacal, and urea. The most misunderstood form of Nitrogen and the most vital is soy protein hydrolysate. It is essential to rotate or balance all four forms of Nitrogen in a successful fertility program.
Incorporating a protein Nitrogen during high-stress periods is the safest way to continue healthy growth, even during stressful times for the crop. Protein Nitrogen will never build up or become toxic in soils as synthetic Nitrogen has done in the past. It will also not leach from your soils, which has caused the problems with groundwater contamination we see today. With soy protein nitrogen, even in cool periods and warm periods, the release curve remains predictable. Ammoniacal forms of Nitrogen become fairly risky during high temperatures, and nitrate forms of Nitrogen become unreliable in their conversions during cool temperatures. Protein Nitrogen does not contain any of these risks or limiting factors typically associated with conventional forms of Nitrogen.
Suggested Use Considerations:
- Blend with conventional nitrogen to lower total N requirements
- Stand-alone product for use under high temperatures and environmental stress
- Reduced requirements for additional plant stimulants or hormones
- Explorer™ will reduce the demand for fossil fuel-produced fertilizers and support environmentally sound statements for consumer
