SASKATOON, Saskatchewan, Canada, June 10, 2025 – MustGrow Biologics Corp. (TSXV:MGRO) (OTC:MGROF) (FRA:0C0) (the “Company” or “MustGrow”), a leading provider of biological and regenerative agriculture solutions, is pleased to announce the addition of Phospholutions Inc.’s (“Phospholutions”) RhizoSorb® phosphorous efficiency product. MustGrow and Phospholutions have signed a distribution agreement whereby MustGrow will sell RhizoSorb through its Canadian sales and distribution division, NexusBioAg (website: NexusBioAg).
Traditionally, the majority of applied phosphates are quickly tied up in soil, making them unavailable for plant uptake. As little as 10% of conventional phosphorus fertilizer is used by the crop. RhizoSorb® offers a controlled release, avoiding tie up while decreasing nutrient leaching.
RhizoSorb® Product Highlights1
RhizoSorb® patented technology is designed to replace conventional commodity fertilizers like monoammonium phosphate (“MAP”) and diammonium phosphate (“DAP”), by enhancing nutrient use efficiency through its integration into dry-granule phosphate production. It offers the same ease of application as traditional granular fertilizers, requiring no changes to existing equipment or practices.
RhizoSorb® increases phosphorus efficiency by up to 50%, allowing farmers to apply half the applied phosphorus of their traditional fertilizer while maintaining, and even improving yield. This efficiency translates to better grower return on investment, with potential savings of up to US$20 per acre by optimizing fertilizer inputs and reducing costs without sacrificing yield.
In addition to economic benefits, RhizoSorb® delivers meaningful environmental advantages, reducing CO₂e emissions by 45.2%, phosphorus runoff by 78%, and leaching by 84% compared to conventional MAP fertilizer.“
With approximately 94.5 million acres of crop production that depend on phosphate, Canada is a key market,” said Craig Dick, VP Sales and Marketing. “We are proud to partner with MustGrow to deliver RhizoSorb® to retailers and growers across Canada.”
“This partnership marks another major milestone in Phospholutions’ journey,” added Hunter Swisher, CEO of Phospholutions. “Partnering to bring more cost-effective fertilizer solutions to the Canadian market supports our broader global expansion efforts.”“
MustGrow and Phospholutions share a common mission to improve the global food system through sustainable production solutions,” said Colin Bletsky, COO of MustGrow. “Phosphorus is the second-most-used nutrient in global food production, making its efficient and responsible use a top priority for both our companies and the growers we serve.”
Benefits of Reduced-Rate Phosphate
RhizoSorb® features a 38% lower salt index, promoting healthier soils and long-term productivity. Growers benefit from lower application rates, reduced input costs, and sustained yields. For retailers, it offers reduced storage and logistics costs along with stronger margins. Environmentally, RhizoSorb® cuts CO₂ emissions by reducing carbon-intensive ingredients during manufacturing, reducing logistics across import, retail, and farm.
About Phospholutions Inc. Phospholutions’ mission is to enhance global phosphorus use. It believes that sustainable production and responsible use of phosphorus is critical to support global food demands. RhizoSorb® was developed to cut costs and reduce the environmental impact of fertilizer use by releasing nutrients in the soil more efficiently. Phospholutions’ patented fertilizer is incorporated into production to create higher efficiency products that maximize the use of phosphate resources.
