Environmental Plant Management

What Environmental Plant Management does

Environmental Plant Management (EPM) is a privately held, Kansasville, Wisconsin-based formulator of natural, oil-free, non-systemic plant protection products serving controlled environment agriculture, field agriculture, cannabis and hemp cultivation, vineyards, green living walls, hydroponics, and home gardeners. The company operates with a headcount of approximately eight employees and distributes through a commercial grower program, dealers and distributors, independent sales representatives, and the Amazon marketplace, reaching both commercial operations and long-tail consumer demand.

The company's product portfolio is anchored by a proprietary mechanism that uses citric acid to dissolve insect exoskeletons alongside non-GMO catalytic enzymes, and is positioned under FIFRA Section 25(b) exempt designation with Prop 65 compliance and quarterly independent testing for 485+ prohibited ingredients. Core SKUs include Protection Plus (insecticide/fungicide), Eco Green Plant Wash, ECO Shine (foliar polish), Clear Flow (irrigation cleaner), and Clear Zona Pro, providing coverage across pest control, plant hygiene, foliar finish, and water-system treatment use cases. The underlying technology platform is a single mechanism extended across multiple application categories, which simplifies formulation and supply chain management.

EPM's business model is a specialty ag-input product sale model with multi-channel revenue: wholesale and dealer pricing for commercial growers, rep-driven sales for B2B accounts, and Amazon-backed retail for home gardeners and small growers. The company maintains trade-channel visibility through memberships in American Hort, FNGLA, and WNLA. No pricing tiers, contract structures, or revenue figures are publicly disclosed.
