Ostara’s CG P2X fertilizer aligns with EEF classifications

Ostara has announced that CG P2X™, a high-efficiency granular fertilizer, has aligned with USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) conservation practice implementation and enhanced efficiency fertilizer (EEF) classifications in several states, creating opportunities for growers to access conservation-related funding and support programmes.
CG P2X is derived from magnesium ammonium phosphate, a unique and innovative nutrient source recognised with Association of American Plant Food Control Officials (AAPFCO) and NRCS nutrient management guidance documents as a slow-release fertilizer material. Eligibility and programme implementation vary by state and may fall under programmes such as the Environmental Quality Incentives Programme (EQIP), Conservation Stewardship Programme (CSP), nutrient management initiatives, or other conservation-focused funding pathways.
“Growers should know there are conservation funding opportunities connected to technologies they are already using or are considering using,” said Austin Omer, director of sustainability, partnerships and policy with Ostara. “CG P2X aligns with core nutrient stewardship principles centred around applying the right source, at the right rate, at the right time, and in the right place. Because implementation differs by state, we encourage growers and retailers to check with their local NRCS office to better understand how these programs may apply in their region.”
USDA NRCS Practice Code 590, Nutrient Management is designed to help growers improve nutrient use efficiency while reducing environmental losses. In certain states, enhanced efficiency fertilizers and slow-release nutrient technologies can support implementation of those conservation objectives.
Ostara noted that NRCS guidance typically references nutrient characteristics and fertilizer technologies rather than commercial product names. CG P2X fertilizer labels identify the product as being derived from: magnesium ammonium phosphate and include slowly available nitrogen, phosphorus, and magnesium nutrient sources associated with advanced mineral nutrient technologies.
“With fertilizer prices remaining elevated, growers are actively evaluating every opportunity to improve nutrient efficiency and manage input costs,” Omer added. “Replacing MAP or DAP with CG P2X delivers competitive cost-per-acre with increased efficiency, reduced application rates and environmental benefits. With farming margins tight, potential conservation funding could further support farm profitability while helping growers advance nutrient management goals.”
