Yara introduces new fertilizer coating product

Tampa, Fla. — Yara North America Inc. on March 31 announced a new fertilizer coating product, YaraVita Procote, which will be distributed in the U.S. by Nachurs Alpine Solutions. Procote is an oil-based, micronutrient liquid suspension fertilizer that will be available in the elements zinc, copper, manganese, boron, and their combinations. Yara said Procote is simply sprayed in the blender via a pumping system, providing for even coverage of each fertilizer granule and virtually eliminating dust and segregation, resulting in better handling during transportation and improved spreading in the field. “Every fertilizer granule carries the right amount of micronutrient and delivers it efficiently to each plant,” said Adam Richardson, Yara’s foliar and micronutrient product manager. Added Murray Van Zeggelaar, vice president of marketing for Nachurs: “Research has shown that even distribution of nutrients means higher yields on crops such as corn, wheat, and cotton.” More information is available at www.yara.us/procote.
