FAQs

As one of the world’s largest producers and marketers of concentrated phosphate and potash crop nutrients, we deliver value from mine to market. Through mining phospahe and potash, we produce high-quality fertilizers and animal feed, then market and deliver our finished products — about half to customers in North America, and half to customers around the world, including those in all key agricultural regions. We conduct this critical work with abiding integrity and excellence, for the benefit of all our stakeholders. It starts with an intense focus on achieving an injury- and incident-free workplace, and extends to agronomic insight and value for our customers, financial reward for our shareholders, good stewardship of natural resources, and a deep understanding of our obligations to our communities.

Aspire® is the first-of-its-kind micronutrient-enhanced potash fertilizer. Formed using innovative Nutriform® technology, Aspire premium potash combines potassium (K) and boron (B) (0-0-58-0.5B), in each granule to help achieve balanced crop nutrition.

By combining K and B in one granule, Aspire reduces the risk of uneven application and improves nutrient use for maximum yields. Nutrients such as B and K are crucial for cell growth, water-use efficiency, stress tolerance, reproductive development stages and more. Ultimately, the use of Aspire results in gained efficiencies, maximized yields and increased profitability.

Aspire contains K and B (0-0-58-0.5B), best suited for corn, soybeans, cotton and alfalfa. Some retailers and farmers have explored using Aspire on other crops as well with on-farm success. These nutrients are combined with Nutriform technology into one nutritionally balanced granule. This is especially important for B, which is mobile in soil. Due to its immobility within the plant, it is best applied directly to the soil versus a foliar application. Boron is the second most deficient crop micronutrient in the world, next to zinc. There is a fine line between B deficiency and toxicity, which is why applying exactly the right amount is critical.

The Nutriform technology process combines two vital nutrients into one uniquely formulated granule. It ensures uniform nutrient distribution across the field and promotes nutrient uptake by providing key nutrients at the root level.

Aspire has demonstrated improved yields across a variety of crops and soil conditions. Third-party, independent research is available for corn, soybeans, cotton and alfalfa. Some retailers and farmers have explored using Aspire on other crops as well with on-farm success.

Aspire was tested in 20 trials across the United States and found to increase yield by 1.6 bu/ac over MOP and 3 bu/ac over unfertilized soybean fields. The higher yield with Aspire compared to other treatments demonstrates the advantages of uniform nutrient distribution with a premium potash fertilizer containing B.
