- Expansion into global markets is planned, with new formulations in development
A First-of-Its-Kind Intelligent Nitrogen Fertilizer
Tidal Grow® AgriScience, a division of Tidal Vision Products Inc., has unveiled alignN®, its intelligent nitrogen management fertilizer powered by the company’s proprietary align® Technology. Designed for broadacre crops like corn, wheat, cotton, and canola, alignN® 18-0-0 delivers encapsulated urea nitrogen directly into the leaf cuticle and stomata for maximum uptake and metabolism.
Unlike traditional nitrogen applications, the encapsulated formula bonds electrostatically to the plant, reducing nitrogen loss from leaching or runoff, while ensuring availability even in challenging field conditions.
Proven Performance in Grower Trials
“Our large-scale grower trials demonstrate measurable crop performance improvements, including bigger brace roots, improved stalk integrity, limited leaf-firing, less tip-back, bigger ears, and enhanced plant health, proven by quantified increases in field imagery data, which all contribute to improved yields,” said Trey Cutts, vice president of commercial ag science for Tidal Grow AgriScience.
The product’s flexible application, via ground equipment, aerial sprayers, or drones, enables season-long adaptability, while its low application rates streamline operations for both growers and retailers.
Addressing Grower Challenges
“Nitrogen costs and supply chain issues create real in-season challenges for growers and retail agronomists to overcome when grappling with weather and equipment breakdowns,” said Galynn Beer, vice president of global sales for Tidal Grow AgriScience. “They are in dire need for simple nitrogen management tools that offer flexibility, are easy to incorporate into existing fertility programs, and are cost effective. alignN® helps to fill these gaps.”
Despite its premium design, alignN® is competitively priced with traditional nitrogen fertilizers, offering growers a strong return on investment and greater flexibility for in-season nitrogen decisions.
