Maximizing Nutrient Efficiency: The Benefits of Sparging SPT Nutrients

Fertilizers are essential in modern agriculture, supplying crucial nutrients to crops and fostering healthy growth and increased yields. While granular and liquid fertilizers have their unique advantages, combining them through a process called sparging offers a myriad of benefits.

Sparging, a common process in the fertilizer industry, involves spraying a liquid onto a carrier, typically a granular fertilizer prill. For Summit Nutrients, this process is enhanced by using our Small Particle Technology (SPT) nutrients as the liquid.

SPT liquid nutrients are designed for immediate plant absorption, thanks to their particle size, measuring less than 10 nanometers. Combining SPT nutrients with granular fertilizer blends effectively coats the prills, creating a uniform blend that facilitates easier access for crops. This improves nutrient uptake and reduces the risk of hotspots or uneven distribution in the field.

Granular fertilizers release nutrients slowly as they break down in the soil. Sparging SPT nutrients on the prills provides an initial burst of soluble nutrients while the granular nutrients are not yet plant-available. This proves especially beneficial during the early stages of plant growth when crops require readily available nutrients for development. As the granules gradually release nutrients over time, the liquid component continues to support plant growth, ensuring a consistent supply of essential elements.

SPT offers various macro and micro-nutrient products, providing flexibility in creating customized blends to meet specific crop requirements. Growers can tailor the liquid component to precisely match the nutrient needs of their crops, optimizing growth and yield. This precision is particularly valuable for crops with varying nutrient demands at different growth stages.

Combining SPT and granular fertilizers has proven to be a cost-effective approach. Granular fertilizers are often more economical per unit of nutrients compared to liquid alternatives. By adopting a combination approach, growers can enjoy the benefits of both forms while controlling costs, ensuring efficient nutrient utilization, and maximizing return on investment.
