With input prices on the rise – many farmers are looking for options available to provide the maximum return on investment. A formulation of products released earlier this year allows farmers to decrease the potential loss of nutrients from manure used as a fertilizer.

Phosphorus is a non-renewable mineral – one of three essential nutrients to grow crops.
