Agriculture has perpetually been a race against the clock. From feeding 1.6 billion people in 1900 to sustaining a global population of eight billion today, the pivotal role of high-yielding crop varieties and chemical fertilizers in agricultural practices has been undeniable.
These developments come at a steep cost— environmental degradation, chemical resistance, and diminished soil health. This makes accessing essential nutrients from the soil that boost yields all the more challenging for plants.
Aqueus addresses this need with its one-of-a-kind product, Growthful, an auxiliary soil amendment that acts as nature's buffering system by helping improve nutrient availability. The product helps increase yields and improve plant health by conditioning the soil for better plant growth.

An agricultural technology, sales, marketing, and licensing company, Aqueus leverages new, patented chemistries that help cultivators optimize and grow their business. Its vision is to help grow more food sustainably with effective, safer, less toxic alternatives.
Stabilized Hydronium––The Aqueus Difference
An agricultural subsidy of Tygrus—a life science, R&D and licensing company––Aqueus leverages its patented hydronium chemistry, Tyagra ™ to improve the cation exchange capacity and solubilize nutrients trapped in the soil. Growthful, powered by Tyagra, is one of the few agrochemical products on the market that leverages stabilized hydronium, putting Aqueus head and shoulders above its competitors.
Plants generate carbonic acid internally as well as through a root exudative process, expending a significant portion of their energy and enzyme resources, in order to foster nutrient absorption and metabolic antioxidants. Growthful generates carbonic acid independently of plant action, enabling plants to save energy, absorb more nutrients like phosphorus and micronutrients, and grow healthier.
Developed with a flexible formulation, it can be used by farmers at various stages, including pre-emergence, in-furrow, and post-emergence, increasing yields throughout the crop lifecycle. It can be applied in different ways, including drip-line, center pivot, broadcast and aerial.
With each application, it infuses millions of hydrogen molecules into the soil. This adds protons that seek nutrients, typically carrying a negative charge. Unlike pure sulfuric and propanoic acids that release protons immediately after coming in contact with a surface, Growthful demonstrates greater staying power. By not expending all the protons at the beginning, it continues to work with hydrogen molecules for extended durations, making more nutrients available for plants to absorb.
A Tried and Tested, Outcome-Driven Product
Growthful’s application has driven a 10 to 15 percent increase in yields across many farms—a key reason why it has garnered numerous repeat clients. Over 95 percent of farmers place a second order after experiencing its benefits.
Growthful is proving to be a game changer for Sugar Beet Growers. With three years of testing completed by Michigan Sugar, Growthful improved yields to a minimum of 522 pounds/acre and exceeded 900 pounds/acre of additional yield. This translates to over a 10 percent improvement in raw sugar yield.
The soil amendment also helps farmers reduce their reliance on fertilizers, evident in the case of a sugar beet grower in Florida. After a year and a half of using Growthful, the client saw a 424 percent return on investment, attributable to both a significant increase in yields coupled with a reduction in fertilizer inputs.
Aqueus also caters to numerous farms that produce row crops such as soybeans and corn, as well as vegetables. A lettuce farm in Florida increased their output by 5,000 pounds per acre after using Growthful products.
Growthful effortlessly combines with most other chemistries that farmers use to enhance their crop cycle. Because of this, they do not incur any additional associated labor costs
“Whether its crops, vegetables, trees, shrubs or ornamental plants, our product has shown remarkable results,” says Mike Skinner, executive vice president of sales at Aqueus.
The Secret Sauce for Successful Outcomes
A common factor behind every satisfied customer is the distinct protocols developed by Aqueus for its product’s application. Developed at its greenhouse labs and then proven in the field, protocols have been meticulously crafted after running multiple tests over the years to provide maximum results for farmers.
“In each scenario, Growthful’s application has yielded crops that outgrow the control group,” says Skinner.
The protocols provide clear instructions for application from the initial stages, providing roots and seeds with a healthier environment for better growth. Application during the pre-emergence stage and in furrows impacts plant root health, improving overall plant quality and its ability to produce well-grown fruits, vegetables, and other crops.

Aqueus has also created customized protocols for different types of crops, making it beneficial for farmers. Application of Growthful at the right time reduces stress and extends growth time.
A key advantage is Growthful’s compatibility with the majority of fertilizers, fungicides, and herbicides, which allows farmers to follow their own protocols for the use of different chemicals.
“Growthful effortlessly combines with most other chemistries that farmers use to enhance their crop cycle,” says Skinner. “Because of this, they do not incur any additional associated labor costs.”
Sustainability has always been a key focus for Aqueus. Growthful is an inorganic adjuvant, ensuring no runoff during application. The company is now conducting tests to help farmers identify ways to prevent leaching by improving the root zone. This shows immense promise in enhancing sustainable and regenerative agriculture.
While registering a low pH, the product is proven safer for workers and not harmful to plants, animals, or human tissue. The company has performed numerous tests with their base material Tydronium and has met the FDA standards for “Generally Regarded As Safe” (GRAS) status.
A Legacy Built by Experts
With over a decade of industry experience, Aqueus has built a state-of-the-art facility and has their products approved in over 44 states. Growthful is now used on more than 200 farms, with an application area of more than 300,000 acres. Currently catering directly to farms, the company aims to expand its horizons by partnering with dealers and entering the global market. It has already partnered with a domestic player in the Dominican Republic after successful trials.

At the heart of its success is an expert team of scientists and agronomists that leverage its chemistry lab and grow room to perform data-driven trials that help identify innovative ways to improve the product. Led by Lawrence Carlson, chief technical officer at Tygrus, the team has secured numerous patents for its groundbreaking product.
Aqueus continues to expand its product portfolio with its latest product, Trees, Shrubs, and Ornamentals, which shows promising results during the testing phase. After highly productive production trials, a product targeted at mushroom growing was recently launched. The company is on course to introduce a new offering that will help clients eliminate phosphorous issues in their fields and golf courses.
Driving innovation at every step, Aqueus is pushing the boundaries for auxiliary soil amendments that facilitate the quick growth of healthier, bigger crops and increased yields. Regardless of the type of crop, Growthful is a sure-shot way for farmers to increase profits and grow their business.
