  Hello there, I'm Dr. Russell Sharp, the founder of Eutrema Limited,
• 0:04
  and I just wanted to do a quick podcast to explain what makes Eutrema unique.
• 0:09
  There are a lot of fertilizer and biostimulant manufacturers out there, however,
• 0:14
  I founded Eutrema in 2020 because I felt there was a need for something different,
• 0:20
  and some unique products based around the inventions and discoveries I was making
• 0:27
  in the field of plant science.
• 0:29
  So what makes Eutrema unique? Well, the first thing is that we are grower first.
• 0:33
  So we prioritize solving problems for you as a grower, whether you're an arable
• 0:40
  farmer, a golf greenkeeper, or a lawn care professional, or a home gardener.
• 0:45
  I focus on solving problems rather than trying to shoehorn in development projects
• 0:52
  or discoveries in the laboratory.
• 0:54
  So I have in my head a list of all the problems that growers have,
• 0:58
  and then we undergo something called serendipitous innovation,
• 1:02
  which means that we don't have Gantt charts, and we don't have schedules.
• 1:06
  Basically, when the team here think of a good solution to that problem,
• 1:11
  that's when we release that product, when we've developed it.
• 1:13
  We don't think, right, we need a product that solves problem X,
• 1:17
  and it has to be delivered next week.
• 1:19
  That's what every other company does, that's what every other university does,
• 1:22
  and it doesn't come up with really good solutions.
• 1:25
  We're innovative, and so we have cutting-edge plant science solutions.
• 1:29
  You will find in our portfolio there are loads of products that conventional
• 1:34
  chemistry and biochemistry say shouldn't exist.
• 1:37
  Liquid gypsum, a solution of fully soluble liquid of gypsum,
• 1:42
  our liquid gold product, every single plant nutrient in one bottle, shouldn't be possible.
• 1:48
  A very concentrated salicylic acid product shouldn't be possible.
• 1:51
  Our unique chemistry solutions allow that and so you'll find truly unique products we don't produce,
• 1:58
  me too products which are you know somebody else has got a product selling well
• 2:03
  let's copy it we leave that to other people bottom feeders they want to copy
• 2:07
  us we don't copy other people even though we're a small to medium enterprise.
• 2:12
  As i say cutting edge solutions we don't do lego products so we don't do let's
• 2:15
  do seaweed plus amino acid plus humic acid that's not true innovation in my mind we do,
• 2:22
  let's come up with a new product we don't let's not produce it hide behind a fancy name,
• 2:29
  it's one product with one solution and we don't do those lego type products
• 2:33
  that are not true innovation leave that to other people i call those products
• 2:37
  concoctions they're not really innovative,
• 2:40
  we're looking for sustainability we're looking for biological alternatives to
• 2:44
  reduce chemicals or chemicals that are harmful to the environment,
• 2:49
  if we do produce chemical-based products they are biorational so they fit they
• 2:54
  work with the microbes in the soil biology so some great examples of that,
• 2:59
  are say liquid gold fertilizer which feeds soil bacteria rather than killing
• 3:05
  them as would a very very harsh calcium and phosphate fertilizer.
• 3:11
  In addition to that, when we recommend products for controlling soil-based pests,
• 3:17
  we have things like our lime sulfur product, which, although very effective,
• 3:21
  breaks down after 24 hours into plant-available nutrients.
• 3:25
  There's no residual pesticidal effect there.
• 3:28
  We're also very transparent, so we don't hide behind fancy technical terms like,
• 3:33
  phycological innovation system included.
• 3:37
  Everything that's in the product, we list and we're very transparent about what
• 3:42
  they are. We don't use a fancy name.
• 3:44
  And you get direct access from the inventors and the manufacturers.
• 3:48
  So there's no middlemen.
• 3:50
  We don't sell other people's products and we don't white label our products
• 3:54
  and sell them to other people. So you're getting direct access.
• 3:57
  Vastly reduces the price that you pay still for a premium product and you get
• 4:04
  it faster as well. a lot of the times.
• 4:07
  So direct access to growers, unique products, real solutions focused on your challenge.
• 4:11
  And lastly, you get expert support. So if you email us or phone us,
• 4:17
  you're probably going to get
• 4:17
  an answer almost immediately, if not immediately, within an hour or two.
• 4:22
  So you'll get plant science support.
• 4:26
  We might recommend somebody else's product. Or we might say the best thing to
• 4:30
  do is to do nothing. We're not always going to push a product on you.
• 4:34
  And because we don't sell one type of product and one product,
• 4:38
  we're not going to force you to buy one specific product.
• 4:41
  You'll find that a lot of companies out there, especially biostimulant companies,
• 4:45
  have one product and it has to be a product that will solve all your problems.
• 4:51
  We don't believe in those sort of panacea products. They often overstate their,
• 4:56
  expertise and their ability to solve those problems.
• 4:59
  So you'll get real support. If we don't know the answer, we'll tell you or we'll
• 5:03
  tell you where to go to get that solution.
• 5:05
  So always a great sounding board if you've got any technical issues we're always
• 5:10
  happy to solve your problems and we also as a company we're always giving away
• 5:15
  swag whether it's free christmas trees,
• 5:18
  turf trumps our amazing turf game hydroponics headaches we've got another game
• 5:22
  there hats sweatshirts we're giving them all out throughout the year to help
• 5:26
  spread the word about eutreema,
• 5:28
  we also often do things that don't involve selling any products so if you get
• 5:33
  one of our brochures you'll find the periodic table of plant,
• 5:38
  health there listing every nutrient that's beneficial,
• 5:42
  deleterious or activates plants and you'll also find full growth schedules and
• 5:47
  you'll you'll find three podcasts that we produce grass me up for lawn care.
• 5:53
  And sports turf cereal killers for arable farmers listing all the problems for
• 5:58
  arable crops and hydroponics daily for hydroponic sector so we do a lot to,
• 6:05
  help you get knowledgeable about plant science and growing better crops it's not just about,
• 6:12
  selling more product if you ever have any issues as i say get in contact with
• 6:16
  me dr russell sharp i'm the founder the owner of Eutrema we've also got other
• 6:20
  people in technical and sales support and it's a British company and
• 6:26
  by buying from us you're supporting British innovation what more could be better
• 6:31
  thank you much from very much for listening and uh hope to speak to you soon.
