40% of Farmers Are Cutting Fertilizer in 2025—Will You?
A recent Farm Journal AgWeb poll says 40% of farmers plan to cut fertilizer rates due to rising costs. Whether you’re scaling back or staying the course, Microbial Catalyst® helps you increase fertilizer efficiency and improve yield per acre.
FERTILIZER IS UNAVAILABLE TO PLANTS
Dr. Fred Below, Professor of Crop Physiology at the University of Illinois breaks down how a significant portion of synthetic fertilizer gets locked up in the soil instead of reaching your crops.
NITROGEN
About 30-50% of applied nitrogen can be lost or tied up in the soil​
PHOSPHORUS
About 70-90% of applied phosphorus can be tied up in the soil​
POTASSIUM
Approximately 20-40% of applied potassium can be tied up in the soil

MICROBIAL CATALYST IS THE KEY TO UNLOCKING NUTRIENTS
Microbial Catalyst is the key to unlocking trapped nutrients in your soil. It's a biostimulant that speeds up microbial and enzyme reactions to:
-
Break down organic matter
-
Release essential nutrients
-
Fuel microbes & plants
Without this process, nutrients stay locked up in the soil, wasted and unused.
