  1. MESA®MethEx-Sulfate of Ammonia The Only Nitrogen Source That Offers the Synergy of Ammonium Sulfate and Meth-Ex® in One Homogeneous Particle

  2. Nitroform in the 60’s • Nutralene/Triaform 70’s & 80’s • Nutralene technology sold in 1997 • Trade marks also changed hands • MESA developed UF/MUHistorical Overview

  3. Mesa Is an Exclusive Nitrogen Source That is Produced by Resinating Methylene Ureas with Sulfate of Ammonia to produce an Oligomer Sulfate

  4. A Closer Look at the Two Components of MESA

  5. Ammonium sulfate • Total N 21% (typical) • 21% Ammoniacal • 24% Sulfur Ammonium Sulfate

  6. The Ammonium Sulfate Advantage

  7. Plants can take Nitrogen ions in both the Ammonium (NH4+) and the Nitrate (NO3-) form. The Ammonium Sulfate Advantage

  8. Ammonium released by ammonium sulfate upon application is immediately available for plant uptake. The Ammonium Sulfate Advantage

  9. Positively charged NH4+ is attracted to negatively charged soil particles and root surfaces. It resists leaching and is non-volatile. The Ammonium Sulfate Advantage

  10. By contrast urea is broken down rapidly in soils by urease enzymes to form negatively charged Nitrates. As much as 40% loss can occur in 7-10 days. The Ammonium Sulfate Advantage

  11. Mineralization of Urea Volatilization Ammonium (Carbonate) Urease Urea Nitrobacter Leaching Plant Uptake Nitrate

  12. If too much urea is released at once an excessive amount of negatively charged Nitrate ions (NO3-)become available which leach or volatilize. The Ammonium Sulfate Advantage

  13. Ammonium Sulfate also supplies soluble sulfur. • Why is that important? The Ammonium Sulfate Advantage

  14. Sulfur ranks forth in importance of the 16 essential elements right behind N, P, & K The Ammonium Sulfate Advantage

  15. Sulfur is used in photosynthesis, chlorophyll production and the formation of phospholipids The Ammonium Sulfate Advantage

  16. Grasses require about 30 pounds of sulfur per acre, more if clippings are removed. The Ammonium Sulfate Advantage

  17. The use of modern fertilizers, the switch to unleaded gas, and the clean air act of 1990 have all removed sulfur from the atmosphere. The Ammonium Sulfate Advantage

  18. Sulfur works closely with nitrogen to produce plant proteins and in the production of chlorophyll. The Ammonium Sulfate Advantage

  19. Ammonium sulfate is 24% sulfur all of which is soluble and available to the plant. The Ammonium Sulfate Advantage

  20. A typical SCU product only contains about 7% sulfur which is insoluble and not readily available. The Ammonium Sulfate Advantage

  21. Immediate availability • Reduced loss • Soluble Sulfur • If only the release could be controlled! The Ammonium Sulfate Advantage

  22. Meth-EX 40 • Total N 40% • 7% Urea N • 11% WIN • 22% SAWSN Meth-Ex 40®

  23. The Meth-EX Advantage

  24. Methylene ureas are made by reacting urea with formaldehyde to form ureaformaldehyde (UF) polymers The Meth-EX Advantage

  25. Old UF technology did a poor job of controlling the ratio of long chain to short chain molecules and the result was lots of HWIN The Meth-EX Advantage

  26. Methylene Ureas Traditional UF MUC TMPU TMTU DMTU UREA MDU Water Soluble Nitrogen Water Insoluble N HWSN HWIN

  27. The very long chain polymers are not predictable and release over a period of months to years. Turf managers had UF banks in their soil The Meth-EX Advantage

  28. Methylene Ureas Weeks of Release

  29. Meth EX brand improves on traditional methylene ureas by precisely controlling the ratio of long, medium, and short length polymers. The Meth-EX Advantage

  30. Methylene Ureas High Activity MUC UREA MDU DMTU TMTU TMPU Water Soluble Nitrogen Water Insoluble N HWSN HWIN

  31. The result is a more efficient controlled release nitrogen source where all of the N is available in the season of application. The Meth-EX Advantage

  32. Methylene Ureas Good Stuff Really Good Stuff 40% N 5.5 22.0 OWSN 9.4 HWSN 3.1 Meth-Ex 40 31.4/40 = 78% 15/38 = 39% 38% N 5.3 6.2 8.8 HWSN 17.7 HWIN Traditional UF Meth-Ex 40 has twice as much RGS (78% vs 38%)

  33. Microbial release • High AI • Extended feeding • Excellent color • Predictable • Low solubility The Meth-EX Advantage

  34. Total N 30% 10.5% Amm. 3% urea 5% WIN 11.5% SAWSN 12% Sulfur The Marriage of Ammonium Sulfate and Meth EX!

  35. Single granule • Not a coating • Patent pending • 100% plant food • Ten years in development • University tested MESA
