Increasing Foliar Nitrogen without leaf burn

Posted on: Jan 2, 2017

Active Proform N™ provides crops with an abundant source of readily available and slow-release nitrogen, without the risk of damaging leaf tissue. The combination of amino acids and urea nitrogen promotes easier foliar absorption. With Proform N™, more nitrogen is actively absorbed through the plant leaves, where it translocates into tissues where demand is great. […]

N – Nitrogen

Posted on: Nov 21, 2016

Nitrogen is considered the most important macronutrient as it is the one plants absorb in the greatest quantity. Nitrogen contributes significantly to plant health, crop quality and yield – as it is essential to the development of protein. The main forms of nitrogen fertilizer are ammonium, ammonia, urea and UAN. While nitrogen fertilizers have become […]

P – Phosphorus

Posted on: Nov 20, 2016

Crystal Green® is the first continuous release granular fertilizer to provide Root-Activated™ phosphorus to feed plants in one season-long application. Unlike conventional phosphate fertilizers, which release nutrients upon watering or irrigation, Crystal Green releases nutrients in direct response to root demand. (When the plant releases organic acids, Crystal Green releases nutrients). This results in a […]
