CHONEX is a bioscience company founded in 2017, based in Vandiver, Alabama. The company specializes in regenerative agriculture by upcycling low-value agricultural byproducts, such as layer-hen manure, into high-value biological soil health products. Their mission is to restore degraded soils, boost crop yields, and enhance farm profitability and sustainability through innovative solutions. The flagship product, StrongSoil®, is a patented biofertilizer created by feeding layer-hen manure to black soldier fly larvae. This process produces a water-dispersible granule rich in beneficial microbes and essential nutrients. StrongSoil® has demonstrated significant success in field trials, showing improvements in crop quality, nitrogen efficiency, and overall soil health. CHONEX primarily serves row crop farmers and organic growers in the southeastern U.S., focusing on crops like corn, cotton, and blueberries. The company is also developing additional regenerative biological inputs to further support sustainable agriculture.
