Application of MicroEssentials

Performs in your application equipment. Performs in the soil.

Now you don’t have to worry about particle segregation, or caked and plugged application equipment, like you do with bulk-blended fertilizer. The patented MicroEssentials manufacturing process creates free-flowing granules, which improve consistency, metering, and flowability.

Granules stay uniform—and remain dryer than traditional fertilizer, even in damp weather— reducing the frustrations of clogged equipment. Calibration is quick and easy, too.

During your busiest months, MicroEssentials granules give you more flexibility, and a wider window of application, because they fit a wide variety of application types. Whether you’re using broadcast, deep-banding, or strip-till application, MicroEssentials delivers hard-working nutrition that’s easy to handle and quick to apply. MicroEssentials can be applied direct, or in any blended fertilizer program you’re using now.

Broadcast Application

MicroEssentials patented granules flow through spinner or air flow application equipment easily, and stay intact to provide uniform, consistent nutrition.

  • Fast and easy, in both spring and fall
  • Works well alone, or as part of a blend
  • No product segregation
  • Fits VRT site-specific prescriptions as a base or variable component

Strip TillStrip-Till Application

MicroEssentials puts the nutrition right where it’s needed most, and two forms of sulfur—sulfate and elemental sulfur—provide season-long nutrition.

  • Ideal for fall application
  • One pass provides efficient nutrient placement
  • Makes seedbed preparation quicker and easier
  • Reduces compaction
  • Increases yield potential

Deep-Banding Application

MicroEssentials granules flow through application equipment easily and improve nutrient uptake and efficiency by up to 30%.

  • Puts nutrients directly in the root zone for enhanced uptake to the plant
  • Best for fall application, to prevent inconsistent nutrient uptake
  • Requires less accuracy

Starter Application

MicroEssentials puts the nutrition near the seed for early uptake and provide longer-lasting nutrition.

  • Provides superior seed safety and agronomics all season long
  • Works as a quick “pop-up” to increase germination timing
  • Unique granule resists caking in cool, damp spring weather
  • Works well in combination with traditional bulk blends in many regions

Top-Dress Application

MicroEssentials granules provide uniform, consistent amounts of key nutrients.

  • Ideal when soils require “spoon feeding” throughout the season
  • Excellent option to boost nutrient program for growers who split applications
