Ostara Expands Fertilizer Portfolio with CG P2X in Western Canada
Ostara has announced the release of its latest phosphorus fertilizer, CG P2X, across Western Canada. The product builds on Crystal Green technology and is formulated to provide a root-activated, seed-safe source of phosphorus. According to the company, CG P2X is intended to address challenges associated with phosphorus tie-up in soils and nutrient inefficiencies in crop production.
The launch aligns with increasing demand for crop nutrition solutions that aim to enhance both agronomic performance and soil health.
P2X Formulation Emphasizes Nutrient Availability and Soil Conditions
P2X is activated by organic acids and magnesium-based mineral structures. This mechanism is designed to keep phosphorus plant-available during key growth stages, from early vegetative development to reproduction. The formulation does not rely on free acid release, which is common in conventional phosphorus fertilizers, and may reduce potential stress on young seedlings.
In field trials cited by Ostara, P2X application was associated with lower salt and acid load in soils, supporting microbial activity and nutrient cycling. The product can be applied without requiring changes to equipment or planting practices.
Taurus Agricultural Marketing Named Exclusive Regional Distributor
Taurus Agricultural Marketing Inc. will manage the distribution of CG P2X in Western Canada. The company brings experience in agronomic support and retail coordination, having worked with Ostara for nearly a decade. Taurus will facilitate market access through its retail partnerships and offer technical training and field-level services to support adoption.
According to Taurus President Craig Davidson, the product represents a continuation of Ostara’s efforts to develop phosphorus solutions that respond directly to crop demand while maintaining soil productivity.
Market Availability and Outlook For Ostara’s CG P2X
CG P2X is now available through retail channels in Western Canada. With a focus on phosphorus efficiency, application flexibility, and soil compatibility, the product is positioned to serve growers operating within high-input and narrow-margin environments.
Ostara’s launch of CG P2X reflects an ongoing interest in fertilizer technologies that aim to optimize nutrient use while addressing environmental and operational concerns in modern agriculture.
