MicroEssentials® SZ® Durum Wheat Fertility

Objective

Evaluate the yield response of MicroEssentials® SZ® (12-40-0-10S-1Zn) in durum wheat compared to MAP (11-52-0).

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.

Zinc deficiency in wheat

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.
