MicroEssentials SZ


You may have seen our billboards or television advertisements for MicroEssentials.  We are now widely using MicroEssentials SZ (or MESZ as we’ve come to call it) as our main phosphate source throughout my trade territory. 

In short, MESZ is a 12-40-0-10-1 with the extra digits being 10# of sulfur and 1# of Zinc.  It is a MAP based product that incorporates sulfur and zinc while forming EACH granule.  This means two things:  MUCH better distribution of sulfur and zinc and more readily available phosphate to the plant.

After a extensive testing, Mosaic decided to run both elemental (slow breakdown) and AMS (quick breakdown) sulfur into each granule to maximize sulfur availability throughout the season.

Through comparative tests of MAP or DAP based fertilizer, Mosaic was able to produce about a 10 bushel gain using MESZ.  Below are some videos from Mosaic that better illustrate the product’s advantages as well as some pictures from our own company trials.
