TerraTek
Sulphur-Enhanced Phosphate Fertilizers
Go Beyond Traditional Solutions
With a precise balance of essential nutrients in every granule, the TerraTek™ line of sulfur-enhanced phosphate fertilizers is designed to increase crop yields. Made to maximize uptake and ensure season-long nutrient availability, each granule contains an even distribution of nutrients that traditional blends cannot match.
The Optimal Balance of Crop Nutrition
Each granule of TerraTek fertilizer is meticulously crafted to contain an optimal, consistent balance of key nutrients vital to crop development. TerraTek’s unique technology ensures each granule is homogeneous, providing uniform nutrient distribution across the entire field and enhancing crop nutrient uptake. Traditional fertilizer blends often have each nutrient in separate granules, resulting in inconsistent distribution and leaving some plants unable to access vital nutrients. TerraTek delivers balanced nutrition to every plant, resulting in higher yields.
A Dual Approach to Sulfur
TerraTek is unique from other commodity fertilizers in its inclusion of two forms of sulfur: sulfate and elemental sulfur. This twofold strategy ensures season-long sulfur availability, supports robust root growth and allows plants to absorb essential nutrients more efficiently. While sulfate is available for immediate plant uptake, the micronized elemental sulfur converts into sulfate as soil temperatures rise. This slow release makes it ideal for fall application, aligning with a crop’s season-long needs.
An Enhanced Efficiency Fertilizer
TerraTek is an enhanced efficiency fertilizer (EEF) proven to boost nutrient availability for plants and crops while minimizing environmental impact. It features a unique balance of immediately absorbable sulfate and water-insoluble elemental sulfur. The sulfate in TerraTek is quickly absorbed by plants, providing an immediate nutrient boost. Meanwhile, the elemental sulfur gradually converts to sulfate, offering a steady nutrient supply throughout the growing season. Unlike other fertilizers, TerraTek’s elemental sulfur component prevents nutrient leaching, ensuring more nutrients reach your crops. These slow-release characteristics qualify it as an EEF per the Association of American Plant Food Controls Officials (AAPFCO, 2009).
TerraTek at a Glance
Uniform Nutrient Content
Homogeneous combination of P, N and S into a single granule.
Formulated
Available with micronutrients, such as zinc, for crops and soils with specific needs.
Increased Uptake
Two forms of sulfur and uniform nutrient content promote faster and more effective plant absorption.
Season Long
Micronization technology combines sulfate and elemental sulfur to ensure season-long nutrient availability.
The Growing Need for Sulfur
As soil deficiencies become increasingly apparent, North American farmers need more sulfur. From protein synthesis and photosynthesis to chlorophyll formation and nitrogen fixation, sulfur plays a vital role in plant development, yield and grain quality. Sulfur had previously self-regulated, supplied through organic matter and sulfur dioxide emissions from the atmosphere.
As crops increasingly remove sulfur with more growers using no-till, crop residues rise and reduce sulfur availability. Combined with lower emissions through clean energy programs, sulfur levels and availability continue to shrink. This requires adding sulfur-enhanced fertilizers to improve yields. TerraTek helps meet the growing need for sulfur simply, effectively and consistently, with a continuous release of sulfur all season long.
