MicroEssentials® features 2 forms of sulfur for a healthy harvest
Often overlooked, sulfur can be a weak link in soil fertility and plant nutrition.
Did you know: Sulfur requirements are higher than in the past due to increased crop demands. Commodity fertilizers commonly only provide sulfate sulfur, which is mobile in the soil, leaving crops vulnerable to removal and deficiencies.
Sulfur is important to plants because it’s an essential component of amino acids, which convert into protein for the plant. It is also required for the production of chlorophyll and helps the plant produce energy for itself.
Boost growth potential with season-long sulfur
Only MicroEssentials delivers 2 forms of sulfur – sulfate and elemental – all in one consistently sized granule. This ensures season-long sulfur for steady nutrition:
– Early in the season: Sulfate sulfur provides young plants the nutrition needed for optimal growth
– Throughout the growing season: Elemental sulfur is converted by microbes in the soil to sulfate
This 1-2 punch of ongoing sulfur availability reduces the vulnerability of leaching that can occur in sulfate sulfur. Combined with the incredibly small particle size of elemental sulfur in MicroEssentials, it encourages faster conversion to sulfate and better absorption by the plants.
Sulfur supply in corn
Sulfur availability starts as soon as you put the fertilizer down and as the growing season progresses, ensuring a season-long supply that matches crop demand. This helps create a more robust crop, increasing yield potential.
A payoff that makes sense
MicroEssentials meets Enhanced Efficiency Fertilizer standards as a slow-release fertilizer that offers 50% of the total sulfur as elemental sulfur.
Don’t throw away money; if you aren’t replenishing nutrients lost, you are risking your yield’s potential and return on investment. Trust a product that will deliver on sulfur needs all season long.
