Optimized Crop Yields
- Adds soil nutrients like nitrogen, potassium, calcium, sulfur and other essential micronutrients
- Highly reactive, increasing soil pH within 2-4 weeks of application compared to 6-8 weeks with ag lime
- Provides nutrients and organic matter at a fraction of the cost of ag lime
Sustainable Fertilizer Solution
- Provides an economic alternative to fossil fuel fertilizers and lime
- Improves crop and soil resilience to combat climate change pressures

N-Rich® is a pathogen-free farm fertilizer that meets the quality standards of the CFIA and US EPA.
The Process
We partner with municipalities to safely manage their communities’ biosolids. With award-winning facilities in Ontario, Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island operated by our parent company Walker Industries, we process over 100,000 tonnes of biosolids annually. Using our patented N-Viro® technology, we transform municipal biosolids into a sustainable, low-cost alternative fertilizer.
How the N-Viro® Alkaline Stabilization Process Works
Step One
Feedstock
Receive dewatered municipal biosolids for processing.
Step Two
Processing
Biosolids are blended with alkaline admixture. Temperature and pH of the mixture increase to levels that kill pathogens but do not harm those microbes that are beneficial to soil health.
Step Three
Drying & Curing
Mixture cures for 12 hours and is tested to ensure it maintains a pH of 12. The curing process completes the manufacture of our high quality CFIA fertilizer.
Step Four
Application
N-Rich® is now ready to apply on your farmland using standard equipment such as a lime or vertical beater manure spreader. Typical application rates range from 2-6 tonnes per acre, depending on your soil tests and crop requirements.

Real N-Rich® Results
-
Corn on the right, in a newly cleared field, received N-Rich compared to control on the left.
-
Grass pasture grazed equally. Pasture on the left received N-Rich, pasture on the right chemical fertilizer.
-
Soybeans respond to optimum pH and fertility supplied in one pass of N-Rich. Can be applied the fall before.
-
N-Rich can be applied with a lime spreader or amendment spreaders.
Featured Farm
Easy, custom application of large quantities of N-Rich® gives farmer more time to focus on other areas of his tillage and cropping program.
Belland Farms
When Mark Sutherland of Belland Farms heard about the amazing results neighbouring farms were getting from N-Rich®, he just had to try it. Now that he has, he says he’ll never look back.

“When I heard the great results other farmers were getting from N-Rich®, I had to try it! I’ll never look back! When the product arrives to my fields it is always a consistent quality that is easy to apply. It costs less than our previous liming program, with great yield results. The time saved with application of this product allows me to focus on other areas of my tillage and cropping program. Within one year of use, we saw the amazing impact this product had on our crop yield. I noticed that my corn stands were dark green all growing season even when the plant had endured drought stress, while my legume crops had larger leaves with increased forage volume per acre. I plan to always include N-Rich® in my cropping program going forward.”
“I have been using the N-Rich® amendment since 2008 and continue to encourage other farmers to use it. Not only does it have the lime component, it also gives you many nutrients and organic matter at a fraction of the cost of fertilizer & lime. It’s a huge return on my dollar, and my crop yields and quality have increased significantly since adding N-Rich® to my cropping program. Nothing you buy will give you a better bang for your buck than N-Rich®.”
“Our Agronomist is quite pleased to see how much N-Rich® has improved our soils and crops in such a short period. We increased pH levels from 5.5-5.8 to 6.5 with one application at 3 tonnes/acre rate. I have had a tremendous response on my hayland. My harvest yields are much more than my surrounding farm neighbors!”
