P Max is a phosphate fertilizer additive that maximizes nutrient availability.
Product Overview
When P Max is added to liquid or dry phosphate fertilizers, three key events are set into motion that benefit the grower, the environment, and the crop. It protects the applied phosphate from fixation, increases plant utilization of phosphorus, and enhances overall plant nutritional status.
PHOSPHATE PROTECTION
Limits the chemical fixation of negatively charged phosphate with positively charged cations such as calcium, iron, aluminum, zinc, and magnesium
PHOSPHORUS UTILIZATION
Keeps phosphate available for plant uptake and development, allowing crops to use more applied phosphorus throughout the growing season
ENHANCED NUTRITIONAL STATUS
Improves plant uptake of macro and micro nutrients
Frequently asked questions
What is P Max?
P Max is an advanced fertilizer technology designed to enhance nutrient utilization when added to liquid or dry phosphate fertilizers.
What are the P Max brands?
The P Max brand family includes P Max Ultra EZ Flo for dry phosphate fertilizers and P Max LFS for liquid phosphate fertilizers.
What are the benefits of using P Max?
P Max promotes early-season root growth, vigor, and better plant structure. It contains a protecting polymer that keeps nutrients more available, increases fertilizer efficiency, and supports higher yield potential. It also enhances plant nutritional status with increased macro and micro nutrient uptake.
What crops benefit from P Max?
P Max has shown benefits in multiple cropping systems, improving root and overall plant growth as demonstrated in field comparisons.
What are the recommended use rates?
- P Max Ultra EZ Flo: 3 qt/Ton
- P Max LFS: 1% v/v
What yield improvements can I expect?
- P Max Ultra EZ Flo: Average advantage of 6.6 bu/A vs. untreated (74 corn trials)
- P Max LFS: Average advantage of 5.8 bu/A vs. untreated (171 corn trials)
Is there an option to source a phosphate starter already treated with P Max?
Yes. Rosen’s Inc. offers two unique phosphate starter options that are preformulated with P Max technology. P Max Plus is a 50/50 ortho-poly blend that provides a 7-20-3 analysis along with copper, iron, manganese, and zinc. PPRS is a 6-18-6 orthophosphate fertilizer that also includes sulfur and zinc. These two product options provide seed safety and flexibility to align with your operation’s needs.
