Custom Fertilizer Formulation Built Around Your Territory
Bespoke crop-, region-, and customer-specific liquid blends for independent ag retailers and turf distributors — 500-gallon minimum, formulated and manufactured in Plant City, Florida.
Overview
How it works.
Independent dealers shouldn't have to compete on price for products they didn't make. CDI formulates custom liquid fertilizers around your crops, your timing, and your customers — so you sell something competitors can't quote line-for-line.
Custom formulation starts with the product gap you want solved in your county, not a generic me-too analysis. Our chemists and agronomists translate that gap into a label-ready liquid product you can build a story around.
Most programs move from a discovery call to a first batch in four to eight weeks: define the target, draft the formulation, confirm stability and tank-mix compatibility, approve the label, then produce and ship. Minimums start at 500 gallons per SKU — no 2,000-gallon barrier to entry.
What you can customize
- Analysis — N-P-K ratio, micronutrient package, and nutrient sources tuned to your soils and crops
- Additives — biostimulants, humic and fulvic acids, surfactants, and compatibility agents
- Packaging — standard 2.5-gallon jugs packed 2 per case, plus approved bulk formats
- Label — your brand, compliant guaranteed analysis, barcoding, and print-ready artwork
Best fit for
- Independent ag retailers who need a product competitors can't price-match
- Turf distributors serving golf, sports turf, and lawn-care accounts
- Dealers with a regional crop or pressure that needs a targeted product
- Brand owners whose current supplier won't build their positioning
Not a fit for
- Growers or end users buying direct — we sell through your counter, not around it
- One-time drum buys with no program behind them
- Restricted-use pesticide manufacturing
