Micronutrition can be a challenge

Growers know that micronutrients play an essential role in maximizing plant health and growth. With commodity blends, however, it can be difficult to ensure plants are getting the right balance of nutrients at the right time across their growth cycles for operations to actually see increased yields.

Delivering the essential

Through a groundbreaking design that utilizes phosphorus as the vehicle for the optimal delivery of the essential nutrients, MicroEssentials® solves the typical challenges with nutrient balance, uptake, and availability by fusing everything into a uniform granule, packed with crop nutrition innovations.

An Enhanced Efficiency Fertilizer Product

MicroEssentials® is labeled as an Enhanced Efficiency Fertilizer (EEF) as defined by the Association of American Plant Food Control Officials (AAPFCO). Fertilizers that qualify for this designation reduce nutrient losses to the environment while increasing nutrient availability for the plant or crop. Through its proprietary Fusion® Technology, MicroEssentials meets EEF standards as a slow-release fertilizer that offers 50% of the total sulfur as Elemental Sulfur. It is eligible for the USDA's Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) programs, which may provide financial and technical assistance to growers who are putting sustainable practices in place on their operations.

Soil pH Levels Indicate a Need to Adjust P and Zn Fertility in Soybeans

Raising a productive crop depends greatly on the nutrients a plant is able to access during its life cycle. Many factors influence the availability of those nutrients, including soil pH. For instance, as soil pH increases, the availability of phosphorus (P), zinc (Zn) and iron (Fe) decreases. Although variety selection can help manage iron deficiency in soybeans, fertilizer application is still needed to address the P and Zn deficiencies prevalent in high-pH soils.

The Gap Between Macros and Micros Is Smaller than You Think

Even with the increased focus on micronutrients and their importance to crop health and yields, basing a solid nutrient management plan on macronutrients is still critical. While macronutrients and micronutrients certainly work best together to create a balanced approach to crop nutrition, the key difference between them is the amount needed for proper plant growth.

It's Time to Reevaluate Canola P Fertility!

Are you seed-placing your phosphorus (P) and basing application rates on seed safety rather than crop requirements? You may be leaving yield on the table. Recent research out of the University of Manitoba examining seed-safe rates of P and sulfur (S) in canola is showing that P applied at rates based on seed safety may not be adequate to maximize canola yields.
