In 2000 Kellogg teamed up with the Milo Shammas and his Dr. Earth to bring innovative organic fertilizes to the general public through local garden centers.
It has long been recognized that organic gardening is the superior approach to healthy, productive plants and soils. Unfortunately, this approach has always been- until Dr. Earth products came along- tedious, slow, demanding and requiring a commitment well beyond that of the typical homeowner gardener.The Dr. Earth difference of course, is in the performance. Dr. Earth products provide FAST growth results PLUS the long-term plant and soil health associated with true organic fertilizers. Dr. Earth has made the well-known benefits of organic gardening available to the typical home gardener and eliminated the environmental and safety risks often associated with chemical fertilizers.

1-530-750-2800 or 1-877-664-4476
info@marroneorganics.com
www.marroneorganicinnovations.com
The company finds new products from the microorganisms isolated from samples collected in unique niches and habitats (like flowers, insects, bark, composts, etc.). Collecting samples is the start of the journey from discovery to commercial product. When you step outside and look around, it is possible that you could find these microorganisms anywhere – under your feet, in the flower bed, or on leaves. But an experienced collector/discoverer of pesticidal microorganisms would see that there are some places and sources that are better for finding these microorganisms. We screen these naturally occurring microorganisms to identify those that may have novel and effective pest management characteristics. We then employ natural product chemistry to analyze and characterize the compound structures produced by selected microorganisms, to ensure there are no toxins, and to identify product candidates for further development and commercialization. Through an efficient process (lab and field testing, fermentation process development, scale-up and formulation), we can develop them into products in approximately three years and for approximately $3 million, compared to new chemical pesticides, which take at least $180 million and up to 10 years to discover and develop.
The company’s products require approval from the EPA, which includes toxicological testing against non-target organisms to prove their safety. The time for approval is 12 months for ornamentals and turf (non-food crops) and 18 months for food crops, as governed by the Pesticide Registration Improvement Act (PRIA).
This approach to natural product discovery is well validated. Drug companies have been finding and commercializing new drugs derived from natural sources (plants and microorganisms), such as antibiotics (streptomycin, penicillin, etc.), taxol from the Pacific Yew for cancer treatment, and aspirin from a similar compound in willow bark. While more than 50% of human drugs are from natural sources, 11% of pesticides are derived from natural sources. Examples are spinosad insecticide (Dow) and avermectin miticide (Syngenta), purified compounds fermented from different microorganisms, Bacillus thuringiensis insecticides (Valent Bioscience and Certis USA), and Bacillus subtilis and B. pumilus biofungicides by AgraQuest marketed as Serenade®, Rhapsody®, Sonata® and Ballad®.
The company welcomes collaborations with academic and other labs and companies. We will purchase/license microorganisms that you have in your collections that might be useful for pesticidal applications.
