Nitrate is the primary form of nitrogen that vegetable plants need in order to grow. It is a naturally occurring compound, and without an adequate supply of nitrate in the soil, crops would not grow properly, resulting in poorly flavored, stunted produce. With the adoption of newer carrot cultivators with lower nitrogen requirements, Grimmway Produce GroupTM has reduced the amount of nitrogen fertilizer normally applied to fields. This trend will likely continue as we improve our fertilization efficiency.
Grimmway Farms, Cal-Organic Farms and Bunny Luv products labeled as organically grown are produced according to strict standards regulated by the USDA. These standards help to ensure that crops are produced using organic farming methods that ensure that fruits and vegetables receive adequate nutrients for proper growth.
