MicroEssentials™ S15 provides
nutrients that are combined in a patented produc-tion process.
Every MicroEssentials S10 granule contains three vital
nutrients — nitrogen (13%), phosphorus (33%) and sulfur
(15%) — all more evenly distributed than separate applications.
Phosphorus and sulfur are in a proper ratio that benefits
most crops, due to key nutrient inter-actions, and makes
them more available and easier for plants to use throughout
the growing season. High analysis means less volume than
the equivalent blend of MAP and ammonium sulfate.
MicroEssentials
S15 Delivers Higher Yields!
MicroEssentials
S15 is a more uniform product that, when applied correctly, gives
every single plant a better shot at getting essential nutrients
it needs to grow, thrive, and produce the best results.
A Unique Crop Nutrient System!
MicroEssentials S15 nutrients are accessible to plants throughout
the season. It is designed to supply phosphorus and sulfur
in the right ratio and at the right time to a developing
crop. Key nutrient interaction between phosphorus and sulfur
helps plants take up more nutrients and P content increases
10 to 30%.
It delivers an optimal rate of sulfur in two
forms: the sulfate form (50%), which is available immediately
to developing roots, and the elemental form (50%), which becomes
available later in the growing season. The two forms combined
provide season-long release of sulfur for the crop.
Plants start out faster because MicroEssentials S15 delivers
nitrogen the way research proves young plants prefer it — in
the ammonium form. About 40% of N is in the ammonium sulfate
form and 60% is in the mono-ammonium phosphate form. This
means plants are less dependent on weather and get off to
a faster start!
Key benefits of MicroEssentials S15
 |
Ammonium phosphate based product |
 |
Balanced nutrition – nitrogen, phosphorus,
sulfur |
 |
All nutrients in each granule |
 |
Improved distribution of nutrients compared
to blended product |
 |
Eliminates component segregation that is
possible with a blend |
 |
More uniform spreading in the field |
 |
Two forms of sulfur - 50% sulfate and 50%
elemental |
 |
Season-long sulfur availability |
 |
Improved nutrient uptake due to chemistry
of the granule |
 |
Convenient/easy to use: direct application,
blends, and starters |
 |
Saves a bin – nitrogen, phosphate
and sulfur in the same bin |
Sulfur Distribution Comparison in Broadcast Applications
 |
 |
Typical
Sulfur Blend
Sulfur as granules in bulk blend
through broadcast application (15 lb/A).
|
MicroEssentials
S15
Sulfur incorporated in phosphate fertilizer
(33 lbs/A P2O5
and 15 lb/A sulfur). |
Patented Process
During the manufacturing process, sulfur is added
and forms partial layers around a developing granule.
Sulfur appears as veins in this cut-away illustration.
Elemental sulfur is not very mobile in soil solution. When
added as granules in bulk blends, much of their benefit is
lost as plants must seek out the sparse sulfur granules across
large areas.
