Arizona-based technology company HCT, LLC redefines agronomy with its groundbreaking solutions for water systems plagued by hardness, sodium, corrosion, and biology. With over three decades of dedicated research and development, HCT is redefining water utilization in various sectors, from agriculture and water wells to landscaping, turf management, and nurseries.
HCT's journey toward discovering the best methods, approaches, and tools for the remediation and sustainability solutions for soils, waters, and wells has led to revolutionary breakthroughs that enhance plant vitality and yields even in adverse water and soil conditions. The innovative company achieved these outcomes with at least a 15 percent reduction in water use necessity and leading to higher returns on investment (ROI).

"We've discovered how to increase water's effectiveness in agronomy through pioneering water treatment methods. With years of research throughout the USA, we developed technology to convert compromised water and soils into thriving conditions for significantly improved crop growth. We were able to increase crop growth from 18 percent to 60 percent, all achieved with 15 percent less water usage at a lower overall cost," shared Todd Eden, founder and CEO of HCT.
The CEO’s statement rings true as HCT's expertise extends to rehabilitating water wells for potable and industrial wells, optimizing water and soil health, and delving into chemigation, fertigation, and program sustainability. Essentially, HCT addresses compromised water conditions and provides tailored solutions from two proprietary chemicals and industry-changing analytical methods to ensure optimum results, all while ensuring outcomes. With this, HCT redefines agronomy, proving that the key to improving the lives of growers worldwide lies in the treatment of water and soil health.
HCT's progress in agronomy is the fruit of Eden's dedication and transition from chemical manufacturing to the complex dynamics of water, soil, and environments. While delving into chemical manufacturing for a family-owned business and, later on, to water treatment for evaporative cooling systems, Eden found his new purpose of translating chemical insights into impactful solutions through HCT for the world of agronomy. The pioneering company's journey was nonlinear, with the first five years spent on extensive development, testing, and evaluation across diverse environments throughout the USA.
After years of testing and evaluation, HCT presents multiple research-driven solutions. The WaterSOLV™ program, for instance, redefines soil and water management by categorizing water elements, including minerals, metals, microbes, and sodium. Through this, HCT has consistently enhanced vegetation vitality from 18 to 60% with 15% reduced water necessity.
Meanwhile, its agronomic solutions aim to restore soil health, enhance nutrient availability, address biological complexities (e.g., anoxic conditions, biofilms, etc.), generate dissolved oxygen, and overcome septic water and soil conditions while lowering costs, improving efficiencies, sustainability, and revenues. On the other hand, HCT’s Well-KLEAN program introduces matured methods of well rehabilitation for optimum outcomes and long-lasting results. The solutions mitigate bacteria, scale as well as E. coli and coliforms.
Eden shared an excellent case showcasing the impact of HCT’s groundbreaking program: “In Kansas, we worked with a dry land farmer relying solely on rain for crops. His soil had excessive nutrition locked up. With our technology, his wheat hit 24 percent protein, the highest the grain company had ever seen. In other words, we boosted crop quality significantly by improving the nutritional availability.”
As a technology pioneer in the field of agronomy, HCT aims to put a concerted effort into collaborating with trusted advisors to address the skepticism surrounding the adoption of new technologies. Education would be pivotal in this advocacy to propel the advancement of agricultural and water management practices. Ultimately, HCT continues its mission to empower individuals and entities with more effective Legacy Test Methods for treating and sustaining soil and water to usher in a new era in global agronomy and water utilization.
