Fertilizer is a critical investment for farmers, but what if half of what’s applied never reaches crops? Fertilizer loss is costing U.S. farmers billions annually, yet most don’t realize the full impact on their bottom line.
Key Facts on Fertilizer Loss:
These losses mean wasted money, lower yields, and increased environmental risks. But Stabilized Inputs offer a better solution—keeping nutrients in place without synthetic coatings, microplastics, or expensive release technologies.
Here’s how fertilizer loss affects farm profitability and how Stabilized Inputs can help.
Fertilizer is one of the highest input costs in farming, yet much of it disappears before crops absorb it.
The Bottom Line:
To compensate for losses, farmers often apply more fertilizer than needed. However, this doesn’t guarantee better results—it just raises costs.
A Smarter Solution: Preventing loss is more cost-effective than applying more fertilizer.
Even if fertilizer remains in the soil, plants don’t always absorb it efficiently.
Instead of focusing on when nutrients release (like SRFs & CRFs), Stabilized Inputs ensure nutrients stay in place until crops need them.
Unlike SRFs and CRFs—which only focus on fertilizers—Stabilized Inputs enhance multiple agricultural inputs:
They improve the efficiency of:
With Stabilized Inputs, farmers get more from every input—not just fertilizers.
One of the biggest reasons farmers are switching? Stabilized Inputs save money while increasing efficiency.
| Cost Factor | Traditional Fertilizers | Stabilized Inputs |
|---|---|---|
| Upfront Cost | Moderate to High | Comparable to standard fertilizers |
| Loss Reduction Efficiency | Low to Moderate | High |
| Long-Term ROI | Low due to frequent loss | High due to improved retention |
| Application Frequency | Frequent | Standard application schedule |
| Environmental Impact | Risk of runoff & pollution | Sustainable, no microplastics |
Why More Growers Are Choosing Stabilized Inputs:
Stabilized Inputs deliver real results without the high costs of CRFs or the inconsistencies of SRFs.
