Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Where is Tidal Grow® Chroma registered?
A: Tidal Grow® Chroma is registered in Canada as a plant supplement.
Q: What kind of product is Tidal Grow® Chroma?
A: Tidal Grow® Chroma is a biostimulant that supports crop vitality and quality.
Q: What is the active ingredient in Tidal Grow® Chroma?
A: Tidal Grow® Chroma utilizes chitosan, a naturally occurring active ingredient that Tidal Grow AgriScience upcycles from seafood byproducts. Chitosan is a natural compound derived from chitin, and it is used across multiple industries beyond agriculture. Not all chitosan is created equal, and if not formulated properly, plant health could be compromised. Simply using any chitosan-based plant product will not produce the same results.
Q: What is chitosan? How is it any different from chitin?
A: Chitosan is a natural compound derived from chitin. Chitin is a structural component in the shells of crustaceans like crabs and shrimp. Chitosan is the deacetylated form of chitin, making it much more soluble and extremely useful in agriculture as a biostimulant and soil enhancer that improves plant health and boosts crop yields when formulated properly.
Q: What is the elicitor effect?
A: The elicitor effect is a signaling mechanism whereby substances like chitosan help plants kick their defense systems into gear. Chitosan, the active ingredient in Tidal Grow® Chroma, prompts crops to produce protective compounds and enzymes, boosting their immune response and making them better at fighting off diseases and pests.
Q: Do we need to worry about shellfish allergies since the active ingredient in Tidal Grow® Chroma is derived from crab shells?
A: Tidal Grow® Chroma is derived from crustaceans and may contain trace amounts of allergens < 1ppm.
Q: How does one product work in so many different ways?
A: Tidal Grow® Chroma works in many ways because its active ingredient, chitosan, activates the plant’s immune system. By stimulating the immune system, Tidal Grow® Chroma enhances nutrient uptake, helping to get more NPK into your crops for better growth.
Q: What's the ideal order of operations for mixing Tidal Grow® Chroma with other inputs?
A: To mix Tidal Grow® Chroma with other inputs, first reduce the pH of your mix water to around pH 5 and follow the WALES/DALES method: add half the water, then water conditioners, followed by dry products, continuous agitation, liquids, emulsifiable concentrates, and finally surfactants. For specific products like copper fungicides, adjust the pH accordingly to prevent phytotoxicity.
Q: Which products are incompatible with Tidal Grow® Chroma?
A: Most fungicides, herbicides, insecticides, nematicides, and nutrition products are compatible with Tidal Grow® Chroma. However, polyphosphate-based fertilizers like 10-34-0 and 11-37-0 should not be mixed with Tidal Grow® Chroma. Other phosphate fertilizers are acceptable. If you have specific compatibility questions or encounter new incompatibilities, please reach out to our staff for assistance. Regardless, we always recommend conducting a jar test before mixing with other crop inputs.

Trey Cutts, VP of Commercial Ag Science at Tidal Grow AgriScience, joins RFD-TV’s Market Day Report to introduce alignN®, a breakthrough intelligent leaf delivery technology.
Galynn Beer, vice president of global sales for Tidal Grow, says the current dynamics in agriculture bring opportunity to think about fertilizer differently. Tidal Grow is bringing crop fertility products to the market to elevate yields and solve for environmental loss and sustainability.
Join Galynn Beer, VP of Global Sales at Tidal Grow AgriScience, as he appears on RFD-TV’s Market Day Report to introduce alignN® — our breakthrough intelligent leaf delivery technology designed to transform nitrogen management.
CropLife® Media Group checked in with Trey Cutts, Vice President of Commercial AgriScience at Tidal Grow AgriScience, to learn more about alignN and how it can benefit the ag community.
This episode of Cutting the Curve explores the persistent challenges and emerging solutions in nitrogen management for row crop producers. Host Damian Mason is joined by Trey Cutts and Galynn Beer from Tidal Grow to discuss how traditional practices like fall-applied anhydrous ammonia contribute to nitrogen inefficiency and loss. They introduce alignN, a foliar-applied nitrogen technology designed to improve timing, uptake efficiency, and flexibility. Backed by field trials—including at Mason's own farm—alignN offers a practical tool to align nitrogen delivery with crop demand, reduce overall application rates, and enhance ROI, particularly in a volatile economic environment.
Protect Precious Nitrogen Investments with Tidal Grow® alignN® at the Right Place, Time, Rate, and Source Every grower knows the frustration: you invest in nitrogen, only to watch a big portion of it disappear before the crop can use it. Between run-off, translocation, and missed timing, a significant portion of applied nitrogen gets wasted—and with […]
2026 is teeing up to be a challenging year for grain producers due to declining commodity prices and higher input costs, with growers seeking novel solutions like Tidal Grow’s AlignN fertiliser to save money
Tidal Grow AgriScience, a division of Tidal Vision Products Inc., announces today the launch of its intelligent leaf delivery technology innovation, align Technology, a first-of-its-kind foliar applied nitrogen designed to help growers maximize yields while significantly reducing nitrogen waste. Formulated precisely for broadacre crops, like corn, wheat, cotton, and canola, alignN 18-0-0 delivers encapsulated urea nitrogen directly onto and into the leaf, where it is absorbed for maximum uptake and metabolism.
