Main Characteristics and Advantages
Agronomic Advantages:
- Nutrition: Optimal for early plant development.
- Increased energy for germination and seedling vigor.
- Improved nutrient conditions for early planting.
- Optimal solution for No-Till technology.
- Developed active root system.
- Improved conditions for wintering of winter crops.
- Better development of nodulating bacteria and free-living beneficial soil microflora.
- Increased stress tolerance and competitiveness of plants, resistance to pathogens and pests.
- Quick dissolution and almost complete absorption of elements (utilization coefficient - 80% and above) even under adverse conditions (including low temperatures).
- Micronutrients in a fully water-soluble and readily available form for plants.
- Possibility to reduce the application rate of the main fertilizer.
- Low salt index and safety for seedlings at optimal rates.
- Lower doses result in less soil loading and fewer passes of machinery through the field.
Economic Advantages:
- Maximum efficiency at low application rates.
- In most cases, lower costs per hectare compared to traditional starter fertilizers (costs for fertilizers, their transportation, storage, and application).
- High and economically justified crop yields of agricultural crops.
Logistical Advantages:
- Low application rates.
- Convenient packaging (20 kg) facilitates fertilizer use operations, increases transportation speed, and reduces transportation costs.
- Practical storage and handling.
- Autonomy of the sowing unit.
Environmental Advantages:
- Reduced application rates and more efficient fertilizer use reduce unproductive fertilizer losses and environmental pollution risks.
- Reduced fuel consumption results in reduced emissions of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere.
- Reduction in packaging waste.
The MICROGRANULATION technology allows for a significant increase in the utilization coefficient of nutrients by crops. 1 gram of UltraStart micronutrient fertilizer contains about 2 thousand granules, which is nearly 100 times more than traditional fertilizers. The small size of the granules ensures better solubility, uniform distribution, increased contact surface area of the fertilizer with the soil, and better absorption of nutrients by the plant's root system.
UltraStart fertilizer is recommended to be applied during crop sowing and directly in the seed zone (POP-UP technology) using any type of microgranulator applicators. It can also be applied in mixtures with microgranulated soil insecticides that have a similar specific weight to the fertilizer. For fruit and vegetable crops, it is recommended to pre-mix with the substrate or apply in the planting zone.
