Westport, Conn. — H.J. Baker on Jan. 22 announced the release of its new sulfur bentonite product, Tiger XP®. The company said the new fertilizer has a propriety activator that “sets a new industry standard for release rates and overall product performance…ensuring farmers have a well-balanced nutrient replacement program.” Tiger XP addresses early season soil sulfate deficiencies with more plant available sulfate during critical early growth stages, the company said.

In addition, H.J. Baker said Tiger XP’s dark gray color and coating help suppress dust, going beyond industry standards in both safe handling and ease of use. “Tiger XP’s composition and performance capabilities are unique – an industry breakthrough that will improve crop performance all over the world,” said Steve Azzarello, executive vice president of Sales and Marketing. “As important, this product is safer to handle. With a new dust suppressant coating, Tiger XP exemplifies H.J. Baker’s commitment to R&D, our industry partners, and our customers.”
