2 Take phosphorus fertilizer efficiency further. With AVAIL Phosphorus Fertilizer Enhancer. You wouldn t buy a truck that only ran two days a week, would you? Well, with conventional phosphorus fertilizer performance, that s exactly what you get. It s a fact: Up to 75-95% of the phosphorus fertilizer applied to your soil is unavailable to the roots of your crops. Instead, it locks up in the soil due to elements like calcium, iron, aluminum and magnesium. Let s face it, wasted fertilizer means wasted money. Developed by SFP, AVAIL Phosphorus Fertilizer Enhancer is a unique formulation designed to minimize fixation and maximize your fertilizer investment.

3 It s simple: More available phosphorus means better use of your fertilizer investment. By shielding applied phosphorus from the elements that lock it in the soil, more of it is kept available to the growing plant. This added efficiency can lead to healthier plants, more flexibility in your application schedule and better overall value from your fertilizer investment. AVAIL is available for both liquid and granular phosphorus, and leaves no environmental footprint. More than 24 million acres have already put it to work, and growers across the country trust AVAIL as the strongest phosphorus protection on the market. In fact, AVAIL has been called the most important fertilizer advancement in 30 years. Learn more at sfp.com.

4 AVAIL Phosphorus Fertilizer Enhancer Untreated Treated with AVAIL Up to 75 95% of phosphorus fertilizer applied to the soil is rendered unavailable to crops. 1 AVAIL creates a negatively charged shield around phosphorus fertilizer. This protects negatively charged phosphorus fertilizer from forming attractive bonds with other ions in the soil. AVAIL bonds with positive ions, keeping the phosphorus free and available to the crop all season. Increased phosphorus availability promotes greater uptake by the crop.

Nitrogen fertilizer is a key component to any successful nutrient-management program. Unfortunately, up to 50% of each application can be lost in three different ways: Leaching Volatilization Denitrification Solid science for solid results. NutriSphere-N Nitrogen Fertilizer Manager shields nitrogen on a molecular level, keeping enzymes at bay and more nitrogen in its ammonium form. That means less leaching, less volatilization and more usable nitrogen to aid the health and development of the plant. As a result, NutriSphere-N is the most advanced nitrogen manager on the market, adding flexibility to your application schedule and value to your fertilizer investment.

8 NutriSphere-N Nitrogen Fertilizer Manager Untreated Treated with NutriSphere-N Certain soil enzymes convert nitrogen fertilizer into nitrates that are prone to leaching and volatilization. NutriSphere-N selectively inhibits unwanted chemical reactions without leaving an environmental footprint. Plants can do more with nitrogen in its ammonium form than they can with nitrates. NutriSphere-N keeps more nitrogen in its ammonium form giving you greater returns on your fertilizer investment.

9 Untreated Treated with NutriSphere-N Urease typically encourages volatilization, promoting nitrogen loss. NutriSphere-N controls urease, keeping it from robbing your nitrogen. Bottom line: More usable nitrogen means better use of your fertilizer investment. How it works.
