Richardson International and The Mosaic Company Partner to Introduce Innovative Crop Nutrition Solution, PowerCoat®, to Western Canadian Growers

Richardson Pioneer, Canada's leading agribusiness, and The Mosaic Company ('Mosaic'), a global manufacturer of advanced crop nutrition products, are pleased to announce their exclusive multi-year partnership to bring PowerCoat®, a biological fertilizer complement, to Richardson Pioneer crop inputs retail locations across Western Canada. PowerCoat improves nutrient use efficiency by optimizing soil phosphorus availability to plants, when applied to granular fertilizer.  

"We are excited to partner with Mosaic to provide our customers with innovative crop nutrition technology," said Steve Biggar (Assistant Vice-President, Fertilizer and Energy Products, Richardson International). "Early season success starts in the plant root. This product improves nutrient uptake of phosphorus in fertilizer applications and we are confident in its demonstrated performance. PowerCoat provides important benefits that will ensure our growers unlock the potential of their soils to further enhance yields."

"PowerCoat is proven science and is well-tested in the field," said Jeff Wheeler (Vice-President, Commercial, The Mosaic Company). "As we continue to learn how the beneficial bacteria in the soil interact with different nutrients, we are finding that the right biologicals can increase nutrient efficiency, making every dollar invested in fertilizer work harder. We are excited about partnering with Richardson Pioneer and the value this can bring to their growers."
