Our Approach
• Champion BMP Development and Extension– Right Rate, Right Time, Right Place
• Lead by Developing Solutions to EnhanceBMP– Coating Technology
Yielding results
• Patented polymer coating technology delivers true controlledrelease nitrogen management options
– major breakthrough enables Agrium to take controlled releasetechnology to commodity agriculture worldwide
• Committed Investment– Construction underway
• US$ 40 million• Carseland , Alberta
• World scale production capacity– increase from 30,000mt to 150,000mt of ESN– continuous process – not batch– start-up by January 2006 in time for spring 2006 season
Yielding results
• Guaranteed minimum 44% N• Sized similar to other granular fertilizers• Color: light green – very unique• Patented Proprietary coating technology
