Ten Year Old Spruce Plan­ta­tion, High Ele­va­tion Site, Cana­dian Rock­ies, planted with RTI Bio Paks

For nearly 20 years, RTI has created high-performance, eco-friendly products for forestry regen­er­a­tion, habi­tat restora­tion, land / mine recla­ma­tion and ero­sion con­trol applications.

FEEDER PAK TECHNOLOGY: A Quar­ter Bil­lion Seedlings and Counting

Since  establishment in 1993, the com­pany has become known for biologically-inspired products that work with nature to increase plant health and growth. With the creation of the unique teabag deliv­ery system: a convenient packet of con­trolled release or organic fertilizers, nutrients to a plant for up to two years,  assur­ing that a strong root sys­tem devel­ops and long term health and sur­vival are dra­mat­i­cally improved. RTI fertilizer has estab­lished over a quar­ter bil­lion forestry seedlings in some of the harshest growing conditions on the planet over the past two decades.

ADVANCE BIOLOGICAL AMENDMENTS: Con­nect­ing Plants to the Soil Ecosys­tem, Restor­ing Sus­tain­abil­ity and Balance

Myc­or­rhizal fungi is a crit­i­cal com­po­nent of healthy soil biol­ogy and com­prises about 80% plus of all the liv­ing micro­bial bio­mass that sup­ports plant growth and health. RTI began pro­duc­ing com­mer­cial cul­tures in 1996 and is the nation’s old­est and largest pro­ducer of qual­ity myc­or­rhizal inoc­u­lants. It’s use has played an impor­tant part in suc­cess­ful restora­tion, mine and pipeline recla­ma­tion, high­way ero­sion con­trol projects and many other envi­ron­men­tally sen­si­tive appli­ca­tions through­out the Amer­i­cas and Europe.

As the com­pany moves towards its sec­ond full decade of devel­op­ing and pro­duc­ing bio­log­i­cal solu­tions for envi­ron­men­tal man­age­ment appli­ca­tions, new inoc­u­lants and treat­ments includ­ing AZOS, an aggres­sive nitro­gen fix­ing bac­te­ria and other organ­isms are being introduced.
