The continuous-release mode of action
provides another benefit: Biedenfield
says trials of Crystal Green have shown
a significant reduction in phosphorus
leaching and runoff when compared
to water-soluble phosphorus sources.
"From an environmental standpoint, it's
significantly better," she says. "It makes
an especially big difference in areas with
sensitive watersheds."
Of course, the question must be asked,
How does this stuff affect yields? "The
intended effect is to increase marketable
yields," says Biedenfield. "In two years
of grower trials, we've seen, on average,
a 10 to 13 percent increase, particularly
shining in areas of extreme soil pH."
Of course, the Crystal Green team isn't
out to sell its product just for the sake
of making a sale. "There are better ways
for growers to feed their potato crops,"
says Biedenfield. "We want to provide
the maximum benefit to the grower, and
we're trying to find the areas where this
product makes the most sense for them."
