Phosphorus Fertilizer Management
SPEND LESS. GAIN MORE.
What Is
PFM™ (Phosphate Fertilizer Management) is the core technology driving the performance of CultivAce starter fertilizers. Built on more than 20 years of lab and field testing, this advanced formulation combines organic acids, biological food sources, and other proprietary ingredients to create a powerful fertilizer enhancement system. PFM™ isn’t a standalone fertilizer — it’s an innovative approach to protecting and managing phosphate.
Designed to keep phosphate plant-available in the soil, PFM™ allows growers to apply less fertilizer while still achieving higher efficiency and improved yields.
By elevating standard starters like 6-24-6, 8-24-0, and 10-34-0 into enhanced efficiency products, PFM™ ensures CultivAce fertilizers consistently outperform traditional formulations season after season.
It’s Not Magic, It’s PFM™!
