A MASTER DISTRIBUTOR OF BIOLOGICAL PRODUCTS
fertilizers • soil amendments and inoculants • adjuvants • crop protection
For 15 years, Andaman Ag Corporation has promoted farming practices that support the growth of healthy soils. Our purpose has been to complement nature through our recommended practices and product applications. As a master distributor of biological products — including fertilizers, soil amendments and inoculants, adjuvants, and crop protection — we can provide our clients with a comprehensive crop program based on their needs, issues, and objectives.
Our slogan, “From the Ground Up,” captures our commitment to achieving more robust crops, greater yields, and improved quality through improved soils. Fueled by new scientific discoveries coupled with old-fashion common sense, the new agriculture is focused on the soil.
The two key elements of our new understanding of the science of agriculture are:
- Soil is much more than just dirt
- Plants do much more than passively absorb whatever sunlight, water and minerals, nature and growers can give them
For the past decade, I have been writing about the news in agricultural science and ag product development in a newsletter distributed to growers and others in the industry. I recently wrote a book called “From the Ground Up,” that’s a collection of those newsletters. You can get it from Amazon or the Acres USA Bookstore.
