Affording Phos in 2022

Inputs for 2022 look to be high and getting worse. We wanted to take a minute to discuss the importance of investing in “efficient” nutrients, not just the cheapest nutrients.

You will find that the most expensive nutrient is one that gives you minimal results!

We have been using HumaGro SuperPhos 0-50-0 for years now because it is a nano carbon complexed pure Phos acid that is much more available than the industry standard by a factor of more than 10x!

With claims that big, it’s natural to be skeptical, as we were. But we have put this against most every other form of liquid P products on the market, and on a $/$ comparison it has outperformed them all.

 

For example, We have found using 1qt/ac of SuperPhos provides better P levels in plant SAP analysis, vs. 4gal/ac of 10-34-0.

 

Now let’s look at some application examples…

4gal/ac 10-34-0= ~$4.50/gal x 4= $18 1qt SuperPhos= ~$36.66/gal x .25= $9.16 50% less $$$

Not only is it more affordable, but it is less product to handle… 94% less by volume. There are many studies proving the inefficiency of standard phosphorus fertilizer, showing efficiencies in the order of 10-30%.

HumaGro has done a trial comparing 16gal 10- 34-0 to 1.2gal SuperPhos and SP yielded better!

 

One of the main keys to Super Phos, is a patented molecule called MCT(micro carbon technology) .

This carbon based molecule is 10 times smaller than a fulvic acid molecule, which makes for many binding sites for the nutrients, prevents tie up in soil, and an easier penetration/uptake into the plant.

 

The same MCT technology can be applied to any product including Nitrogen to improve use efficiency and reduce rates.

 

Our X-Tend(concentrate of MCT)  product can be tank mixed in with almost any product (fertilizer,herbicides,pesticides) to reduce rates, increase efficiency and ultimately save money.

 

I know some of these terms sound like fancy lingo for humic acid, but it is not. You will see when you use it.
