Where Lower Use Rates Meet Higher Performance

More Than a Starter Fertilizer
Today’s growers expect more from every application. Rising input costs and increasing pressure to maximize efficiency mean every gallon needs to work harder.
Unlike conventional phosphorus fertilizers, CHALLENGE is formulated to maximize nutrient availability and uptake, allowing growers to achieve exceptional performance at lower application rates across row crops and specialty crops.
Whether applied in-furrow, foliar, or by fertigation, CHALLENGE delivers nutrients where they’re needed most.
Advanced Phosphorus Technology
The foundation of CHALLENGE is Potassium Tri-Poly Phosphate (KTPP)—a premium phosphate compound used in other industries as a powerful chelating agent.
KTPP consists of three orthophosphate molecules bonded together with potassium, creating a highly efficient phosphorus source. This unique chemistry helps convert phosphorus into forms that are more readily available for plant uptake.
When combined with nitrogen in the CHALLENGE formulation, nutrient movement and translocation throughout the plant are further enhanced, helping crops utilize both phosphorus and potassium more efficiently.
The result is a highly effective phosphorus fertilizer that allows growers to achieve outstanding results with lower use rates.
Solubility with Homogenized Humic Acids
CHALLENGE also contains 100% homogenized humic acids, ensuring complete solubility in tank mixes.
Humic acids naturally sequester nutrients, helping improve their movement through both roots and leaf tissue.
This contributes to:
- Improved nutrient translocation
- Better soil nutrient availability
- Enhanced root uptake
- Increased foliar absorption
The result is a fertilizer that works efficiently regardless of the application method.
A Proven Winner in the Field
Performance isn’t measured in the lab alone—it’s proven in the field.
CHALLENGE has been incorporated into multiple award-winning crop production programs, including:
