Next Generation
Our Proprietary Technology
Our next-generation nutrient technologies stretch your plant nutrition investment, maximizing efficiency and speeding plant metabolism for better ROI and healthier plants.
Performance Attributes
- Maximum nutrient efficiency
- Less applied materials per acre
- Healthy, stress-resistant plants
- Increase in yield potential
- Greater economic value
Proprietary Technology
SPT® Small Particle Technology
SPT® Small Particle Technology is the most efficient nutrient delivery system on the market today.
Proven to maximize fertilizer efficiency, products built with SPT® deliver more nutrients per pound than conventional fertilizers. SPT® also cuts input, labor, storage, maintenance, and logistics costs.
-
Proprietary Formulation
Advanced chelation, carbon complexing, and a patented mix of amino acids, macros, and micros combine into a stable, homogeneous mixture where every drop is identical.
-
Nano-Scale Particle Sizing
Advanced homogenization process used to convert nutrient material into nano-size particles for immediate uptake by roots and for easier entry through leaves.
-
Nano-Encapsulation
Individual nutrients are protected with a carbon amino acid shell that prevents nutrient tie-up with charged ions in the soil or on the plant – so nutrients reach the plant intact.
-
Oxygen-Infused Nanobubbling
Nanobubble gases are added to fertilizer and soil amendments to improve physical properties and oxygen levels, resulting in heightened efficiency per application.
Proprietary Technology
TRN™ Time-Released Nutrient Technology
TRN™ Time-Released Nutrient Technology helps optimize nutrient levels throughout a plant’s entire growth cycle – achieving maximum results with minimal effort.
By regulating when nutrients are released, TRN™ limits deficiencies for uniform growth and season-long health, while saving you time and money.
- Controlled Release
- Slow Release
- Stabilized Nitrogen
Performance Attributes
- Reduces inputs by 20-30%
- Less number of applications
- Decreases risk of leaching
- Greater application flexibility
- Improves stewardship
Performance Attributes
- Stimulates plant development
- Improves soil microbial activity
- Aids in nutrient use efficiency
- Triggers metabolic processes
- Lessens plant stress
Proprietary Technology
Sistema™ Biostimulant Technology
Sistema™ biostimulant technology contains the industry’s most advanced plant health components.
Working at a cellular level, Sistema™ triggers biological and chemical reactions in both plants and soil while stimulating the production of naturally occurring plant hormones. Compatible with all fertilizer blends, Sistema™ activates pathways to enhance nutrient use efficiency, increase tolerance to abiotic stress, ignite root growth, and maximize energy production.
How Sistema™ Works
-
Sistema™ is a proprietary blend of natural biostimulant components and plant hormones known to enhance plant health.
-
Sistema™ complements Wedgworth’s complete range of high-quality and innovative crop nutrition solutions.
-
Sistema™ works with the plant’s own natural physiology to promote cell division, encourage root and shoot development, and build a strong defense system against environmental stressors.
-
Sistema™ also improves plant-rhizosphere interactions that promote nutrient uptake, which can reduce fertilizer inputs.
Where to use Sistema™:
Citrus, fruits, ornamentals, pastures, row crops, sod, tree nuts, turf, and vegetables
Made-to-Order
Advanced Plant Nutrition, Made to Order
Using proprietary technologies, Wedgworth’s manufactures a wide range of plant nutrition and specialty products that help plants reach their full genetic potential. From foliar nutrients to nutrient efficiency enhancers, we have the technology you need to push quality and performance to a whole new level.

Since 1932
Innovation Is in Our Roots
Herman Wedgworth was an innovator. Each generation since has looked for a better way to make and deliver fertilizer.
-
1932
-
1990s
Automation
We developed proprietary software to streamline and automate blending operations through integrations with plant PLC equipment.
-
2020s
Operations Technology
We incorporated LiDAR for inventory control, RFIDs for error reduction, built our own IoT devices to improve trailer usage, and built our own ERP software to manage quotes, orders, purchasing, and more.
- Nutrition products
- Our operations
We innovate in two places: in the nutrition products we make for growers, and in our own operations, so every order is as efficient and as high quality as we can make it.
Beyond fertilizer
