Nitrogen

Nitrogen is necessary for all living things to thrive. For plants it is essential in chlorophyll, proteins, and growth regulation. Crystal Green® supports your nitrogen program to last through the entire growing season.

Why do plants need nitrogen?

Nitrogen is an essential element in structural, genetic and metabolic components of plant cells. It is a critical component of amino acids which make up proteins, of the bases of nucleic acids that communicate genetic information, and a central portion of the chlorophyll molecule.

What happens if plants don’t get enough nitrogen?

Lower leaves become chlorotic

Growth slows or stops

Photosynthesis slows and yields are reduced


Crystal Green’s Nitrogen Advantage

The nitrogen in Crystal Green® is 100% plant available and releases only when your crop needs it. Typically, excess nitrogen can leach or runoff into waterways, building up excess nitrogen in the water and cause harmful algae blooms.


Crystal Green’s Crop Driven Release™ supports crop growth while protecting the environment.
