PED is now a complete platform of field-tested tools designed to reduce input loss, simplify application, and perform under pressure—all without changing how farmers farm.
From One Coating to a Complete Platform
What began as a solution for nutrient loss has grown into a durable, grower-friendly system:
Durable Inputs™
A bio-based, no microplastic, stay-in-place coating that protects nutrients, seeds, and biologicals from breaking down too fast.
Essentialcide™
A hemp-based, 25(b)-exempt botanical biopesticide that targets insects, bacteria, and fungus while remaining safe for pollinators and people.
Liquid Hemp Fertilizer
A hemp-extracted nutrient solution, developed from a belief and now backed by data.
Validated by the Field, Not Just Promised in the Lab
PED’s technologies have been tested and refined through independent and on-farm trials, including work with Clemson Extension and commercial growers across fruit, vegetable, and row crops.
Field results have demonstrated strong nutrient retention, reduced loss, and reliable input performance under real-world conditions.
From the Founder
“I built these products because I had a hunch,” said Rich Johnston, founder of PED. “I believed there were real benefits and I wanted to see for myself. I’m an inventor at heart, and I leaned into it hard to prove what I thought could be true. After ten years, the coating worked. But what truly shaped PED and its patented products was listening to growers. That journey taught us the values that matter most.”
Built Ahead of What’s Coming
As global agriculture shifts toward durability, efficiency, and sustainability, PED arrives ahead of the curve. With the European Union set to ban plastic-coated fertilizers by 2028, and biopesticides now the fastest-growing segment in crop protection, PED offers a platform built for what’s next without compromising performance today.
An Open Invitation to Trial and Collaborate
PED is expanding its network of field trial partners for the 2025–2026 growing seasons. Whether you grow specialty crops or row crops, PED welcomes collaboration grounded in practical results and shared goals.
Current trial opportunities include:
“If you’re interested in putting PED to work in your system, we’d love to connect,” Johnston added.
PED is ready to grow. With partners who want to make good inputs even better.
