OVERVIEW
- MAP is a common phosphorus (P) fertilizer used in corn-growing regions of North America and is the “base” for many blends.
- In addition to nitrogen (N), P and potassium (K), corn is very responsive to sulfur (S) and zinc (Zn).
- MicroEssentials® SZ® contains N, P, S and Zn fused into one nutritionally balanced granule, creating a single course for balanced crop nutrition.
