Product Sheet
THE PRODUCT
PowerCoat™ biological fertilizer complement formulated with proven strains of PGPR – Plant Growth Promoting Rhizobacteria – that increases nutrient availability, uptake and utilization and improves early season plant growth and vigor, helping growers maximize ROI from fertilizer inputs. It is formulated to impregnate bulk dry fertilizer and can be applied banded or broadcast.FEATURES & BENEFITS
- Improves nutrient use efficiency solubilization, uptake and utilization of applied fertilizer and nutrients in the soil bank.
- Improves conditions for greater plant growth and increased vigor.
- Optimizes yield potential and harvest quality.
- Ease of application-effective rate of bacterial spores on impregnated fertilizer provides consistent performance.
TECHNOLOGY AT WORK
- PowerCoat enhanced fertilizer is applied to crops at key growth stages.
- The bioactives in PowerCoat – Bacillus sp. – produce enzymes and organic acids that improve the solubilization of fertilizer into plant available forms and release bound nutrients.
- Availability of key nutrients can support a more robust root system, improving nutrient uptake which optimizes plant growth and yield potential.
