What EnviroKure, Incorporated does

EnviroKure, Incorporated is a Philadelphia- and Ohio-based agricultural biotechnology company founded in 2011 that develops and commercializes liquid biostimulants and organic biofertilizers derived from chicken manure. Its core technology is a patented aqueous composting process that extracts plant-available nutrients, plant growth-promoting compounds, and beneficial microbes from poultry waste, converting an environmental liability into crop inputs. The intellectual property is protected by 39 issued and pending patents worldwide, and the company holds OMRI, CDFA, USDA Organic, and FDA Food Safety certifications that enable unrestricted use in organic production systems.

EnviroKure's product portfolio is anchored by EK-L BioStim, a foundation biostimulant applied pre-plant, at-planting, or in-season via soil, seed, or foliar methods, with specialty extensions including EK-L Plant Builder 3-0-3 (organic nutrient delivery), EK-L Super K 0-0-5 (potassium and sulfur for stress mitigation), EK-L Essentia (CDFA-certified organic), and the July 2024-launched PhylloZone. The company reports 95% positive results in corn trials and 96% positive results in soybean trials, with a documented 3.6x return on investment versus 10-34-0 starter fertilizer in two-year Ohio corn trials.

The business model is direct enterprise field sales to conventional and organic farmers, with quote-based unit pricing tied to acreage, crop type, and application method (in-furrow, foliar, or fertigation). Customer segments span conventional row-crop growers (corn, soy, wheat, cotton), organic farmers, fruit and vegetable growers, and hemp and specialty crop producers across the U.S. Midwest. Revenue is derived from unit-based product sales, with a new Hicksville, Ohio flagship production facility — designed to service 4 million acres — coming online in 2022-2023 and representing the company's primary forward scaling lever.

Core offering

EnviroKure manufactures and sells liquid biostimulant and organic biofertilizer products (EK-L BioStim, EK-L Plant Builder 3-0-3, EK-L Super K 0-0-5, EK-L Essentia, PhylloZone) produced from patented aqueous composting of chicken manure. Products are formulated for in-furrow, pre-plant, foliar, and fertigation application on row crops, fruits, vegetables, and specialty crops for conventional and organic farmers.

Product overview

EnviroKure offers a portfolio of biostimulant and organic biofertilizer products derived from patented aqueous composting technology that extracts nutrients and microbes from chicken manure. The core product is EK-L BioStim, which serves as the foundation biostimulant containing plant growth-promoting compounds, nutrient solubilizing enzymes, and beneficial bacteria. Building on this foundation, the company offers specialized formulations including EK-L Plant Builder 3-0-3 with 1% Sulfur (for organic nutrient delivery) and EK-L Super K 0-0-5 with 2% Sulfur (for potassium supplementation and stress reduction). Additional products include EK-L Essentia (CDFA-certified organic formulation) and newly launched PhylloZone (July 2024). All products can be used standalone or incorporated into existing liquid fertilizer programs for conventional and organic agriculture.
