MicroEssentials® is designated as an Enhanced Efficiency Fertilizer (EEF). Fertilizers that qualify for this designation reduce nutrient losses to the environment while increasing nutrient availability for the plant.
It’s available in three distinct formulations, each catering to a unique lineup of crops and soil conditions. Work with your MicroEssentials® dealer to find the right formula for your operation.
MicroEssentials SZ®
MicroEssentials S15®
MicroEssentials S10®
Ready to Start? Use the 4R’s as Your Guide
You might be asking yourself when and how to apply MicroEssentials® to your crops. As you prepare to speak with your dealer, consider the 4Rs as a guide — applying the right source and rate of fertilizer at the right time and place.
Right Source
Match fertilizer to crop need. Ensure a balanced supply of essential nutrients, considering both naturally available sources and the characteristics of specific products, in plant-available forms.
Right Rate
Match amount of fertilizer to crop need. Assess and make decisions based on soil nutrient supply and plant demand.
Right Time
Make nutrients available when needed. Assess and make decisions based on the dynamics of crop uptake, soil supply, nutrient loss risks, and field operation logistics.
Right Place
Keep nutrients where crops can use them. Address root-soil dynamics and nutrient movement and manage spatial variability within the field to meet site-specific crop needs and limit potential losses from the field.
