BOSTON, Aug. 6, 2010 — Converted Organics Inc. (Nasdaq:COIN) announced today that the company will be exhibiting Converted Organics(TM) LC 1-1-1 fertilizer at the annual Wisconsin State Cranberry Growers Association (WSCGA) Summer Meeting and Trade Show, taking place in Tomah, WI on August 10, 2010. The WSCGA Field Day and Trade Show are well attended by industry leaders, including growers, distributors and other key decision-makers in the purchase of crop production inputs, such as fertilizer.
"Our LC 1-1-1 fertilizer product has been well received by Massachusetts cranberry growers, with sales in 2010 to date increasing four-fold over the same period in 2009," said David A. Flannery, Converted Organics' Vice President of Marketing. "We believe we can replicate this success in Wisconsin, the nation's largest cranberry producer, which accounted for four million barrels, or 56% of the total U.S. cranberry production in 2009."
Massachusetts cranberry growers have reported positive results from the use of Converted Organics(TM) LC 1-1-1, including: increased disease suppression; greater vine growth and higher yields on two year-old bogs; and overall higher-quality yields with less rot. Converted
Organics(TM) LC 1-1-1 is currently being used by several cranberry growers, including Morse Brothers, Inc., the largest grower for Ocean Spray Cranberries, Inc.
Along with exhibiting at the WSCGA Trade Show, Converted Organics is advertising in the monthly WSCGA Newsletter which reaches all WSCGA grower and associate members. The company is also featured in the WSCGA Annual Buyer's Guide and Program Book.
