Mosaic Microessentials

kirschenman · 12-14-2009, 06:19 PM

Considering strongly with going with Microessentials on my peas for a start and maybe moving into it for all my P and S. Anyone using this and what do you think? I like the idea of the P and S being in 1 product and a little bit of Elemental S for season long availability.

Is it worth it?

you have any pricing on it?? Cant comment unless i know what the premium is..

kirschenman · 12-14-2009, 07:23 PM

No pricing yet. Can't be too much more since its just S and P (with some N tagging along). Its not like its exhaust in granular form or something equally as spectacular!

Ok......... well it is sound in theory then and a good idea untill we receive some numbers on the stuff

Thinking MES15, Andy? I have heard positive results, gaining poularity around here. Cuts down on volume alittle and is a nice product to handle. Not shure on current pricing but back in november I sold some for 2-3$/ac more than a 11-52 blend.

$2-3/acre based on what rate ?? How much per MT matt??

matt2 · 12-14-2009, 07:52 PM

It was 10$/tonne less at the time.

We have used this for the last 5 years and love it use it on all our acres called S15.
13-33-0-15 ecellent for direct seeding as it has a very low salt index
Just booked ours some at $480 some at $460.
Used to be exclusive to Cargill but some independants are starting to sell it.

jdgreen · 12-14-2009, 10:05 PM

Price sounds reasonable so how about some results Evan??????? Have you done any trial work?

We have been using the S15 for 5 years on Canola and last 2 on whole farm.
Can be very dusty if they cut back on the oil when loading. Doesn't absorb moisture and clump.
Still undecided on the elemental portion of S availability/effects.
Will be trying 100#/acre of sulfer fines next fall on acres going into Canola in 2011. Soil tests this year called for 80-110 of N, 35-45 of P and 40-45 of S for 40 bushel Canola crop. Will mid row band 120# of 46-0-0-0 and seed place 80# of 12-34-0-13 (S15 and 11-52). Foliar apply with chem app as needed (or bank account allows). Will have Omex primer on most Canola seed and use some Omex C-3 foliar as well.
46 was 395-410/tonne
S15 was 410-430/tonne
11-52 was 435-450/tonne
20.5-0-024 was 375-400/ tonne
We bought a week ago, from an independant, most places went up $50-$110/tonne monday.
