OVERVIEW
Durum wheat is a common crop grown in the Northern Great Plains and Western Prairie Provinces of Canada.
MAP is commonly used as a phosphorus fertilizer source applied to durum wheat.
Durum wheat is known to be responsive to zinc fertility.
MicroEssentials® SZ® provides N, P, S and Zn in one nutritionally balanced granule.

SUMMARY
Averaged across 4 years and 16 replicated trials, MicroEssentials® SZ® outyielded MAP by 2.0 bu/ac (3.3%).
This data demonstrated a significant yield response to the sulfur and zinc found in MicroEssentials® SZ®.
MicroEssentials® SZ® provides uniform nutrient distribution, increased phosphorus uptake, season-long sulfur availability, as well as zinc nutrition for additional yield and return on investment.
