Crystal Green Pearl is the only high-efficiency granular phosphate fertilizer made from recovered nutrients. Produced using Ostara’s proprietary technology that reclaims phosphorus and nitrogen from municipal and industrial water treatment — turning a waste stream into a premium crop input.
Same root-activated technology as CG P2X. Same proven field performance. But with the highest magnesium content in the Ostara portfolio (10% Mg) and a sustainability story no other phosphate product can match.
Closing the Phosphorus Loop
Global phosphorus reserves are finite. Every year, billions of pounds of phosphorus pass through wastewater systems and are lost. Crystal Green Pearl captures that phosphorus and converts it into a crop-ready fertilizer.
- 100% citrate soluble, non-water-soluble — root-activated release on crop demand
- 10% magnesium — highest Mg content in the Ostara portfolio
- Micro-prill format ensures even row-to-row coverage
- Low salt index — improved seed safety
- Season-long phosphorus availability without tie-up
- Supports healthier soil microbial communities
The Sustainability Advantage
Agriculture faces growing pressure to demonstrate environmental responsibility. Sustainability certifications, carbon market participation, and ESG reporting are present-day requirements for many operations.
- Made from recovered phosphorus — reduces dependence on finite mined rock phosphate reserves
- Prevents phosphorus from entering and degrading waterways
- Non-water-soluble formulation minimizes runoff and leaching risk
- Supports corporate and retailer sustainability mandates
- Verifiable recovered-nutrient origin for supply chain documentation and ESG reporting
Pearl is not a compromise between sustainability and performance. It is both.
Who Pearl Is For
- Growers participating in or considering carbon market or sustainability certification programs
- Retail operations with corporate ESG commitments or sustainability-conscious customers
- Operations on Mg-deficient soils where 10% magnesium delivers direct agronomic value
- Any grower looking for root-activated phosphate performance with the strongest environmental profile available

Frequently Asked Questions
Is Pearl the same technology as CG P2X?
Yes. Pearl uses the same struvite chemistry and root-activated release mechanism. The difference is the source: Pearl is made from recovered wastewater nutrients, while CG P2X is manufactured from virgin materials. Both deliver root-activated phosphorus and magnesium.
Does Pearl perform as well as CG P2X?
Pearl delivers the same root-activated mechanism. It has higher magnesium (10% vs. 9%) and a lower phosphorus analysis (28% vs. 33%). Performance is comparable, with Pearl offering the additional sustainability advantage.
How do I verify the recovered-nutrient origin for reporting?
Ostara provides documentation of the nutrient recovery process and source verification. Contact your Taurus rep for supply chain documentation suitable for ESG reporting and sustainability certifications.
Can I blend Pearl with other products?
Yes. Compatible with standard granular blending operations and all common application equipment.
