Pursell and Yara combine to release a new fertilizer

Pursell Agri-Tech and Yara International announced the availability of PurMidas, a controlled-release fertilizer specially designed for turf that delivers an ideal 7:1 ratio of nitrogen to sulfur.

“This partnership brings together Pursell’s innovative coating technology and Yara’s proven nutrition solutions to provide customers with a competitively priced product that more fully meets their needs for both nutrient delivery and sustainability,” Pursell chief financial officer Joe Brady said.  

Formulated as a homogeneous granular fertilizer, PurMidas delivers uniform amounts of nitrogen, available from multiple sources including urea and ammoniacal, and sulfate sulfur on each particle to prevent nutrient segregation. The formulation enhances spreading consistency without noticeable striping and irregular growth patterns. The soluble sulfur component of PurMidas is readily available for uptake to maximize green-up and enhance plant stress tolerance.

Pursell’s patented coating technology offers the flexibility to adjust coating weights and tailor nutrient release rates to meet nutrient demand and soil temperatures of any region. It also protects granule integrity, eliminates risk of lock-off, minimizes nutrient loss and significantly reduces environmental impact.
