Super Phos® Multi-State Midwest Trial

Background Application of phosphorus (P) fertilizers—such as triple super phosphate (TSP), monoammonium phosphate (MAP), diammonium phosphate (DAP), liquid ammonium polyphosphate (APP), and other forms—can be inefficient and, at times, not environmentally friendly. A technology that can mitigate these P fertilizer challenges without compromising yield and return on investment is highly desirable. Huma® Super Phos® is...

Fall Soil Application of Fertil Humus® Increases Illinois Corn Yield and ROI
11.21.2023 Case Studies

Fall Soil Application of Fertil Humus® Increases Illinois Corn Yield and ROI

Background Feeding beneficial soil fungal activity can enhance aerobic decomposition of organic matter and build a humus-rich soil that releases nutrients tied up in crop residues. This can positively impact crop yield and lead to a higher return on investment. Objective The objective of this study was to observe how a fall application of Huma®...

Super Phos® Lowers Papermill Operating Costs in China

Problem  The existing wastewater treatment system uses 600 kg/day of diammonium phosphate (DAP) to provide the needed phosphorus concentration to maintain a healthy microbial population to treat wastewater. These microorganisms break down the organic matter being discharged from the paper processing facility. Without the correct concentration of available phosphorus, the microorganisms are unable to grow...
