On a commercial tomato farm in Moultrie, Georgia, a Sunrise Soil Probiotic program lifted marketable yield from 2,200 to 3,000 cartons per acre, a 36% increase, adding $9,600 in gross profit per acre on a product cost of $115 per acre.
| Metric | Non-treated | Sunrise-treated |
|---|---|---|
| Marketable yield per acre | 2,200 cartons | 3,000 cartons (36% more) |
| Gross profit per acre | $26,400 | $36,000 |
| Added profit per acre | n/a | $9,600 |
| Product cost | n/a | $115/acre |

A commercial tomato grower in Moultrie, Georgia wanted more marketable cartons per acre and stronger root development, without pushing more synthetic fertilizer into the ground. Going into the spring crop, vegetation was weaker than he wanted, plants carried stress in the heat, and issues like blossom end rot and hollow heart were cutting into what actually reached market.
The goal was simple and hard at the same time: lift yield and plant vigor on real commercial acreage, side by side with his standard program, and prove it paid for itself.
The farm ran a side-by-side field trial: a 20-acre zone treated with Sunrise, an OMRI Listed, CDFA-registered microbial soil probiotic, against a matched 20-acre non-treated zone on the same crop and management. Sunrise is a multi-strain biofertilizer of beneficial bacteria and fungi that colonize the root zone to solubilize nutrients, cycle organic matter, and strengthen the soil microbiome, so the plant takes up more of what is already in the ground.
No extra fertilizer was added to chase the result. The grower reported a 20 to 30 percent jump in vegetation, plant size, and root strength, bushier plants that shaded fruit from sun scald, and far less blossom end rot and hollow heart, which is exactly how more tomatoes reached a marketable carton.
One field, side by side: untreated tomato rows on the left, Sunrise-treated rows on the right. The treated side carried a denser, taller canopy and produced 3,000 marketable cartons per acre against 2,200 untreated.
The Sunrise-treated zone produced 3,000 marketable cartons per acre against 2,200 in the non-treated zone, 800 more cartons per acre and a 36% increase. At a $12 carton, gross profit rose from $26,400 to $36,000 per acre, an added $9,600 per acre on a product cost of $115 per acre, an ROI above 8,000%. Across the trial that added $192,000 in gross profit.
Marketable yield rose 36%, from 2,200 to 3,000 cartons per acre. At a $12 carton that added $9,600 in gross profit per acre on a $115 per acre product cost, an ROI above 8,000%.
Sunrise is an OMRI Listed, CDFA-registered multi-strain microbial biofertilizer, a blend of beneficial bacteria and fungi that colonizes the root zone to solubilize nutrients, cycle organic matter, and strengthen the soil microbiome so plants take up more of what is already in the soil.
Yes. In this trial the treated zone received no extra fertilizer. Sunrise improved nutrient uptake from the existing soil and inputs, and the grower reported cutting back on fertilizer while still lifting yield.
Sunrise is OMRI Listed for use in organic production systems and CDFA registered for sale and distribution in California as a microbial soil amendment.
Sunrise is built for specialty and row crops. This trial was commercial field tomato, and growers report stronger roots, bushier vegetation, and better stress tolerance across vegetables and other crops.
