MAXIMIZING GROWTH FUELING FIELDS RECYCLING NUTRIENTS
EVERY GREAT HARVEST STARTS
BENEATH THE
SURFACE
Healthy soil fuels healthy crops.
With REDSTAR’s innovative solutions,
you can break down crop residue, unlock essential nutrients, and build stronger
soil for long-term success.
BREAKDOWN is expertly formulated to accelerate the decomposition of corn stalks and other heavy residues after harvest, releasing vital nutrients back into the soil. Cooler fall temperatures can slow down the natural breakdown process, which is why BREAKDOWN combines Ammonium Thiosulfate (ATS) with three natural carbon sources to stimulate microbial activity, even in cooler soil conditions. This increased microbial action ensures that valuable nutrients are efficiently released back into the soil, enhancing soil health and fertility.
​
BREAKDOWN also maximizes nitrogen utilization and plant assimilation while minimizing nitrate loss during the nitrification process. By promoting faster residue decomposition, BREAKDOWN improves spring residue management, setting the stage for healthier crops and higher yields in the next growing season.

TURN YOUR TRASH INTO CASH
By breaking down the residue in our fields, we can return valuable nutrients to our soils for use in the next growing season. This allows growers to better capitalize on inputs already in their soil to help improve yields and profitability. In addition, reducing the amount of residue decreases the chance of pathogens overwintering and contaminating next year's crop. Reducing the amount of residue also improves field conditions in the spring allowing for an improved seed bed and reduced stand the loss.
WHAT THE NUMBERS SAY
In our RedStar RX test plots, we measured the impact of top residue breakdown products—not just visually, but with hard data. The results? BREAKDOWN outperformed the leading competitor across the board!
< 2.26 TONS more residue digested per acre
< 47% more carbon released
< 58 lbs more nitrogen
< 14 lbs more phosphorus
< 18.3 lbs more potassium
< 15.1 lbs more calcium
That’s $87.16/acre MORE fertilizer returned to your soil compared to the leading stalk digester!
