BLUE

precise

Step 1

Primary, Micro and Macro Nutrients:

Essential nutrients needed for crop growth start in various shapes and sizes.

Step 2

Ammoniated Blending:

Essential nutrients are blended together with targeted grade speciﬁcations through an ammoniated process.

Step 3

Homogeneous Granule:

Composed of all essential crop nutrients set to speciﬁc grades for top crop performance that
provides even distribution of nutrition to crops.

Ammoniated is better:

Precise amounts of each nutrient - primary and secondary - as well as micronutrients, are chemically compounded to form a homogeneous, granular fertilizer. As a result, each granule contains nearly identical amounts of all the ingredients. Granules are uniform in size, shape, and weight, so the fertilizer spreads evenly. Whether you broadcast or apply it in-row, every plant across the ﬁeld will have the necessary nutrients available when it's needed most.

Ammoniated is better:

Built with nature's tools.

BLUE features a combination of two natural extracts

protect

BLUE has natural carbon-based extracts proven to:

reduce phosphorus runoff and tie-up with antagonistic soil nutrients

improve plant nitrogen uptake and reduce nitrate leaching

increase potassium availability in heavy clay soils that can "trap" potassium

improve soil health by feeding beneﬁcial soil micro-organisms

PHOSPHORUS IS IMMOBILE IN THE SOIL.

BLUE has shown the ability to increase microbial population which can help facilitate improved P transport to the roots!

The 16srRNA (bacterial population RNA abundance) and
18srRNA (fungal population RNA abundance)

correspond directly to the populations in the soil.

BLUE treated 18-46-0 increased rhizobacteria and
mycorrhizal fungi populations by 5% and 9%, respectively,
compared to untreated 18-46-0. (CMI, 2020)

Phosphorus Management with BLUE

BLUE maintained soluble
phosphorus in conditions of
aggressive retrograde tie-up
(calcareous soil with pH of 7.9).
Data presented are the
average of 3 soil x fertilizer
replicates. (University of
Navarre, 2014)

Nitrogen Management with BLUE

• BLUE works to slow conversion from ammonium to nitrate.

• A longer time before nitrogen transformation to nitrate is important because nitrate is susceptible to loss through leaching.

• Ammonium's (NH4+) chemical charge can be "stuck" or ﬁxed to soil particles at the soil surface.

• BLUE also works to reduce the chances of ammonium being carried away through runoff & rain events.

BLUE fertilizer has customizable grades.

BLUE is a Tool to Enhance Fertilizer

On top of having a complete set of nutrients in every granule, BLUE contains natural substances that work to maximize peak performance from the soil to the plant. Studies have shown BLUE's success compared to untreated fertilizer on a wide range of ﬁeld crops, from corn to potatoes as well as other crops like tomatoes, leafy greens, and peppers. Improving nutrient availability for growing plants helps BLUE's ability to be the most effective and efficient, complete fertilizer granule on the market. The time has never been more critical to make the right decision for our crops and the environment.
