Phosphorus is essential to plant growth and performance, but it isn’t always available when plants need it. This is where Crystal Green® can help. Crystal Green® is the first continuous release fertilizer to provide Root-Activated™ phosphorus, along with nitrogen and magnesium, in one citrate soluble granule. This technology allows plants to utilize phosphorus when they need it.
Crystal Green® citrate soluble granules release nutrients according to a plant’s root demand. As the roots produce citrates, Crystal Green® responds with a healthy release of phosphorus, fertilizing plants on demand. This unique mode-of-action prevents the tie-up of phosphorus in low and high pH soils. It also reduces the risk of leaching and run-off, minimizing nutrient loss and maximizing your ROI.
Seed safety is one of the major concerns when considering phosphorus fertilizer. Unlike traditional forms, Crystal Green® salt index is extremely low. This not only increases seed safety, but improves stand count and yield.
Crystal Green® is sustainably and locally sourced using nutrient recovery. Its continuous release technology is proven to reduce loss due to environmental conditions. It is an optimal solution for growers looking for a safe phosphate source that’s cost effective. As you can see in the chart below, Phosphate rates are increasing in Western Canada. Crystal Green® has an advantage over traditional phosphate sources because it offers nutrients throughout the growing season. The season-long release allows you to get the most out of your fertilizer investment.
