Potassium

Potassium (identified by the letter K, its chemical symbols) is found in every cell. It is the third most abundant mineral in our bodies, surpassed only by calcium (Ca) and phosphorus (P). More than 85 percent of hte body's K is found in major tissues and organs, such as muscles, skin, blook, the digestive tract and the liver. read more

Phosphate

The element P is present in every living cell, both plant and animal. The light energy captured by photosynthesis would not support any of the necessary plant functions if compounds which contain P were not present as "energy packaging" structures. Phosphorus is indeed the energizer in plant production. read more

Nitrogen

Plants require N to grow roots, stems and leaves, and to reproduce. Nitrogen must be available continuously to feed the development of grains, fruits, nuts and vegetables essential to human nutrition. read more

Soybean Cyst Nematode

Soybean Cyst Nematode (SCN) has been around since the early `80s, silently causing havoc and reducing yields in our soybean fields. Plants infected with SCN often have poor developed root systems that cannot efficiently utilize nutrients and water available in the soil. read more
