Prevent Soil Tie-Up
Boost nutrient availability for growing crops, all season.
Crystal Green® Fertilizers Release Nutrients According to Crop Demand to Prevent Soil Tie-Up
Crops seldom take up more than 25% of conventional phosphate. The remaining phosphate becomes tied-up and unavailable to growing crops. Crystal Green solves the issue of soil tie-up, by only releasing nutrients as crops demand them.
Nutrients on Demand
Provide crops with the nutrients they need, when they need them, all season. Crystal Green releases nutrients only in response to organic acids exuded from growing roots, unlike conventional phosphate fertilizers which often end up unavailable due to soil fixation.
Minimize Loss to Maximize Uptake
Crystal Green prevents phosphate from solubilizing into the soil where it can react with iron, aluminum or calcium and become tied-up and unavailable to crops. This can result in soils with high levels of phosphate while crops show signs of phosphate deficiency.
Study Results: Crystal Green Maintains Phosphate Availability All Season
Crystal Green fertilizers are sparingly water soluble and only release phosphate in response to organic acids exuded by roots, ensuring phosphate remains available throughout critical crop development stages.
Study Results: Crystal Green Prevents Phosphate from Leaching into Soil
A study of cumulative orthophosphate in leachate as affected by phosphate sources show Crystal Green is considerably less prone to leaching when compared to water–soluble phosphate sources.
Research Proven
Dr. Fred Below, professor at the University of Illinois, discusses his research showing how Crystal Green uses phosphate more efficiently to help increase yield.
Prevent Soil Fixation with
Crystal Green Fertilizers
Crystal Green’s fertilizers only release nutrients in response to crop demand, so phosphate doesn’t release into the soil profile, tie-up and become unavailable to crops.
