MICRONIZED

  • 90% passing a 200-mesh screen
  • Suitable for mixing with potting soil, compost, or spread by hand in the garden or agricultural areas
  • Can be used in hydroponic or liquid application systems with strong agitation and proper filter, emitter, and/or nozzle sizes, allowing the non-soluble particles to flow through
  • May generate dust during handling

FIELD GRADE

  • Appears as coarse, irregularly sized particles
  • Applied with a spreader, resulting in a spread pattern less consistent than granular or pelleted forms due to the inconsistent particle size
  • Less dusty to handle compared to micronized variant
A field of corn plants growing in the dirt on a sunny day.

GRANULATED

  • Produced by forming Micronized particles into granules with the addition of a binder material
  • Contains beneficial soil and plant nutrients
  • Takes several days to break down in the soil once applied and exposed to irrigation or rainfall
