Why Soileos Is the Right Source

When it comes to micronutrient performance, source matters more than you think.
Many conventional fertilizers rely on sulfates: cheap, familiar, and widely used. But sulfates are water-soluble, prone to leaching, and often unavailable when crops need them most. In fast-draining soils, they can move out of the root zone before they’re ever absorbed.
Soileos was built to solve this. It’s a slow-release, bioactivated nutrient source that delivers zinc, iron, boron, and copper when and where crops need them, without the losses or one-size-fits-all chemistry of traditional options.

The Source That Strengthens ( your soil and your crop)
Unlike sulfate-based micros that dissolve too fast and tie up in the soil, Soileos stays put. Its nutrients are embedded in an organic matrix that reacts to root signals, gradually releasing nutrition in sync with crop demand. That means fewer applications, less waste, and more consistent uptake throughout the growing season.

• Longer nutrient availability
• Fewer lockouts and less antagonism
• Improved soil structure and microbial health
• Higher yields
  
  

The Easy Upgrade: Soileos vs Sulfate
Zinc sulfate may be a familiar choice but it’s far from ideal. It dissolves quickly, performs poorly in high pH soils, and often contributes to clumping in blends. Soileos Zinc offers a smarter, more sustainable upgrade with proven advantages across agronomics, handling, and ROI.
Here’s what sets it apart:

• Soileos delivers consistent yield gains with a 70% win rate
• Bioavailable across all soil pH levels, unlike zinc sulfate, which underperforms above pH 6.7

Soil Health:

• Soileos contributes to carbon sequestration by increasing microbial biomass carbon by 20% and promoting microbial activity,
• Its cellulose-based formulation feeds soil microbes, enhancing long-term soil health

Release:

• Soileos relies on microbial mineralization and root interception, not fast leaching
• Nutrients are released in sync with crop demand, reducing loss and tie up

Blending:

• Soileos offers excellent flowability, prevents clumping in blends with urea or phosphorus, and stores well in totes or bins.
• Zinc sulfate is prone to moisture absorption, clumping, and inconsistent application.

• While zinc sulfate may seem cheaper upfront, Soileos drives stronger long-term returns, with year over year value, better blending, fewer losses.
• Plus, it qualifies as a climate-smart, circular economy solution made in Saskatchewan

Circular by Design: The Right Source for a Better System

Soileos was developed with more than nutrition in mind. It’s designed to support the entire agrifood system, from how it's made to how it performs.

And during Circular Economy Month, it’s worth highlighting what that really means. Learn more here.

Manufactured in Saskatchewan, Soileos is produced from upcycled grain hulls and crop processing co-products using a climate-positive, low-emissions process in repurposed facilities. With sustainability built into both its origin and outcome, Soileos supports soil health, carbon cycling, and system resilience—without sacrificing agronomic performance.

As nutrient planning begins for the seasons ahead, it’s worth asking what your micros are truly delivering.

This source builds long-term confidence into every tonne of Soileos moved, every blend loaded, and every acre seeded.

Consistency in the field.
Value in the bin.
Credibility across the system.

Choose the source that delivers more than nutrition. Choose Soileos.
