Advancing potential. Advancing sustainability. Advancing science.
Mosaic is advancing science, thinking and technologies to better manage–and achieve–yield goals like never before. The unique intersection where plant, soil and environment connect is where untapped potential lives.
Mosaic products not only provide the macro- and micronutrients needed to help crops thrive, it also supports the natural biology in every field with biological technologies.
Discover the fundamentals of Advanced Crop Nutrition.
Biology basics
The naturally occurring microbes in soil play a big role in plant and soil health, and fertilizer efficiency.
Beneficial bacteria underground
Many species of good bacteria contribute to plant and soil health. Mosaic carefully selects bacteria for their consistent and predictable benefits.
Understanding nutrient use efficiency
Nutrient use efficiency is crucial to increasing crop yield while getting the most out of fertilizer investments. Adding biologicals to a balanced crop nutrition plan can help maximize nutrient use efficiency.
Microbe and nutrient interaction
As microbes grow and colonize in the soil, they digest nutrients and break them down into smaller, more accessible forms that plants can take up. Adding biologicals can enhance this natural behavior to increase the amount of nutrients in plant-available forms.
Microbiome support
Microbes are fundamental to plant health and productivity. While unnoticeable to the naked eye, the microbiome that surrounds a plant–both above ground and in the soil–hosts tremendous potential to push plant health and yields to levels not yet seen.
All things soil
Learn how the world below shapes crop performance through colors, textures and living organisms.
Soil defined
Soil occurs naturally and is made up of layers (soil horizons) consisting of minerals and organic matter. Soil feeds the land, allowing plants to grow and thrive.
Soil sampling
Soil sampling provides an estimate of the capacity of the soil to supply adequate nutrients to meet the needs of growing crops.
Soil testing
Soil testing is important in high-yield farming. Test results provide the basic facts on which fertilizer to use and determine lime needs.
Soil pH
Soil pH is a measure of the acidity and alkalinity in soils–ranging from 0 to 14. The optimal pH range for most plants is between 5.5 and 7.0.
Plant analysis
From monitoring nutrient status to diagnosing likely nutrient problems, plant analysis is a powerful tool for maintaining crop health and productivity.
Aid nutrient management
Modern plant analysis is used primarily as a source of information on plant nutrient status and, ultimately, as a tool to aid in nutrient management decisions.
Stewardship
Following the 4Rs can help increase yields and profitability while protecting the environment and improving sustainability.
4R Nutrient Stewardship
4R Nutrient Stewardship promotes using the right fertilizer source, at the right rate, at the right time, in the right place.
Site-specific nutrient management
Alongside 4R Nutrient Stewardship, site-specific nutrient management is a component of precision agriculture that allows for fine-tuning crop management systems.
Nutrient information
Learn about the key nutrients essential for plant health, and how each can be used to optimize yields.
Secondary nutrients
The need for calcium, magnesium and sulfur has increased due to the demands of today’s high-yield crop systems and are essential to plant productivity.
Micronutrients
Micronutrients are essential for plant growth and play an important role in balanced crop nutrition. They are as important to plant nutrition as primary and secondary nutrients.
