Why High-Performance Seed Needs High-Performance FertilizerÂ
Growers who know, know. Today’s hybrid seeds and performance fertilizer are producing greater yields—and removing more nutrient —than ever before.
With high-yielding hybrids and varieties, more nutrients are being removed from the soil, used by the crop during reproductive development, and hauled away at harvest. This mining of nutrients from the soil does not leave enough micronutrients to support the nutritional requirements of next year’s crop.
Packed with the good stuff
Today’s plants need more nutrients than ever before. They need it in the right places, and at the right times. Today’s seed needs MicroEssentials®.
Improved Phosphorus availability
Optimized Zinc uptake with MicroEssentials® SZ®
Increased Sulfur uptake and season-long availability
MicroEssentials increases the uptake of nutrients throughout the season, by converting phosphorus into a more available form, supplying zinc in each granule for optimal zinc uptake, and utilizing smaller elemental sulfur particles for faster conversion to sulfate and increased uptake.
The Challenge with Phosphorus
Phosphorus is the foundation for maintaining high quality yields in all soils. It’s also very complex. When soil doesn’t have the ideal pH level, phosphorus can become less accessible to plant roots, resulting in lower utilization and lower yields.
Converting Phosphorus for greater uptake
MicroEssentials creates a more acidic environment within each granule. When the pH is lowered, phosphorus is able to convert to a form that is more available to the plant, providing increased uptake.
Why Sulfur often suffers
With traditional blended fertilizers, the particle size in sulfur granules is larger and more difficult to break down, making it less readily available to the plant.
Smaller particle for greater uptake
The elemental sulfur particle size in MicroEssentials is incredibly small. Its small size encourages faster conversion to sulfate and better absorption by the plants.
Getting your Zinc in sync
Zinc is a critical micronutrient, but needed in very small amounts. With blended fertilizers it’s difficult to distribute properly without over-applying or ending up with uneven or inefficient application, resulting in plants getting too much or too little zinc, not to mention, costing you extra money.
The optimum amount of Zinc in each granule
With zinc in each nutritionally balanced granule, MicroEssentials SZ provides even distribution, every time. This allows Zinc to reach the roots system of every plant.
Never compromise on nutrient uptake.
Our technologies deliver even distribution, increased nutrient uptake and season-long sulfur availability, resulting in higher yields and greater ROI year after year.
Powered by advanced crop nutrition technologies pioneered by Mosaic, MicroEssentials ensures not just the right balance of nutrients, but the right material consistency to give growers an efficient application experience and optimum nutrient distribution for increased yields.
Don’t leave money in the field by using inferior commodity fertilizers. Go with a proven performer. Use MicroEssentials to get your crops the nutrients they need for maximum yield performance.
