Innovation is a cornerstone of successful farming, and no one knows that more than grower Glenn Noma.

After a long, successful career with the large California vegetable farm, Tanimura & Antle, he has a creative new endeavor in the Salinas Valley – hydroponic strawberries.

Growing them in this unusual way provides many benefits, including providing berries to consumers during times when conventional operations are unable to fulfill.

Noma said Redox Bio-Nutrients has long been a key to his success, with diKaP™, Mainstay™ Calcium 2.0 and Mainstay™ Si among his proven winners.

“In my overall fertilizer budget, I was actually spending less per acre per year and getting better and higher quality yields,” he said. “Now I’m using it for hydroponic strawberries, and  it has worked extraordinarily well.”

Glenn is a third-generation produce grower, and his past innovation includes designing a solar powered harvester.
