Attendees were able to tour the new facility, which showcased some of the latest technology available in the Tiger-Sul pastillation process. “The Tiger-Sul pastillation process produces an especially uniform product that is an excellent fit for the California soils,” Smith said. “All our products feature environment-friendly benefits such as season-long release of nutrients that maximizes nutrient efficiency, improving plant availability. The Tiger-Sul line of products is also well suited for the California soils as the sulphur assists in phosphate and micronutrient efficiency.”
