High-Quality Phosphate and Sulfur Fertilizer for Canadian Crops
The quality of your soil has a direct impact on your farm’s efficiency, productivity and profitability. Finding a cost-effective and efficient way to invest in your soil is critical to your farm’s growth and success with high-quality phosphate and sulfur.
Smart Nutrition MAP+MST delivers a uniform product that can improve your soil, crop management and nutrient management. As a farmer and Agriculture Specialty Representative with Nutrien Premium Fertilizer Technologies, Amy Crozier has seen the exciting benefits of Smart Nutrition MAP+MST firsthand.
“One of the biggest challenges that we have up in Canada is that we do not make phosphate, and having a product that can hold the quality, and hold together, as well as help supply that season-long sulfur that canola demands, is a really big win,” says Crozier.
Smart Nutrition MAP+MST is a fertilizer technology that uses a unique combination of high-quality sulfur and phosphate to maximize your crop’s nutrition and growth. Created with seed safety in mind, farmers like Crozier feel more confident that their crops have access to the nutrients they need all season long with less frequent application.
“It is seed safe. We get a denser product, and we can put it with the seed without adding salt from the sulfur. With the high quality of Smart Nutrition MAP+MST, being able to band it with the seed gives us a premier product,” Crozier explains.
Made with micronized sulfur technology (MST), Smart Nutrition MAP+MST evenly distributes sulfur to your crops and maintains sulfur uptake throughout the growing season.
Crozier says: “Having that micronized sulfur is a really unique technology. There has been a lot of elemental sulfur around. But the ability for the breakdown of that micronized sulfur, and having it distribute evenly in the seed row, is really important for maintaining that sulfur uptake.”
For Canadian growers who transport and store fertilizer on the farm, Smart Nutrition MAP+MST is an incredible option. Coated with oil at the end of production to reduce dust, it is easier and safer to handle, transport and store than traditional MAP products.
“The quality of the prill is the number one thing I hear from growers. I farm as well, and the big thing is that if we can have a quality product that flows through the drill, that does not slow us down, while giving us the right nutrition in the right place and at the right time, it is really beneficial,” Crozier concluded.
