YaraAmplix PROCOTE OPTIMIZE features a proven performance formulation of biostimulants designed to be delivered to growers already coated onto their dry fertilizer. PROCOTE OPTIMIZE delivers biostimulants to every plant; guaranteeing uniform distribution and coverage.
Once coated on the fertilizer, the active ingredient strengthens the granule, improves flowability, decreases caking and has high compatibility with other PROCOTE micronutrient products.
Strong Early Growth
By applying PROCOTE OPTIMIZE earlier in the season when maximum nutrient uptake occurs, crops have improved establishment, plant vigor and root development.
Leave No Nutrient Behind
Increase nutrient uptake and ensure essential nutrients are readily accessible to plants. Improved root development supports plants in accessing nutrients that otherwise would be missed.
Total Convenience
Conveniently delivered to your farm already coated on the dry fertilizer, PROCOTE OPTIMIZE not only improves handling and storage but is also an efficient and easy way to give your crops biostimulants—with no added steps for you.
Demo plots show improved plant establishment and stress tolerance
Yara is conducting demo plots across various crops and regions to show the effects of YaraAmplix PROCOTE OPTIMIZE. Here are some preliminary results.
Improving cold tolerance in corn
In this demo plot conducted in Quebec, QC, PROCOTE OPTIMIZE treated plants have shown less signs of cold stress than untreated plants.

Improving plant vigor in corn
In this demo plot in Quebec, QC, corn plants treated with PROCOTE OPTIMIZE are showing improved vigor compared to untreated plants.
Improving potato plant and root development
In this demo plot conducted in Iowa, PROCOTE OPTIMIZE treated potatoes show better plant and root development only 39 days after application compared to untreated.
Improving canola plant development
In this demo plot at Yara's Incubator Farm in Langham, SK, canola treated with PROCOTE BCMZ and PROCOTE OPTIMIZE show improved plant development 40 days after application.
Improve Your Nutrient Uptake
Nutrient uptake refers to crops' ability to absorb and utilize nutrients for maximum yields. It can be influenced by various factors such as soil type, climate, crop species, fertilizer management practices, and genetics.
Did you know that most of the nutrients applied to the soil can be wasted and never be taken up by the crops? Depending on the nutrient and other soil factors, average losses vary between 30 and 80% (1), impacting crop quality, yield and grower's return on investment. |
YaraAmplix PROCOTE OPTIMIZE increased growers' profitability and return on investment by improving nutrient availability and uptake, increasing crops' resilience in challenging environments, and enhancing crop establishment.
Optimized nutrient availability and uptake
YaraAmplix PROCOTE OPTIMIZE ensures full coverage, uniform distribution, fast drying and permanence of the biostimulant on the granular fertilizer.
Resilience in dry and cold conditions
In this experiment in common beans, carried out at the University of Hohenheim, Germany, we tested the effect of increasing concentrations of Procote Optimize on the growth of lateral roots, known to be the main ones responsible for nutrient absorption. More roots mean more soil area explored by the plants, better ability to resist dry conditions and better nutrient uptake.
Accelerated crop establishment
In this trial, an 11-15-15 NPK was coated with 3 L/tonne of Procote Optimize, and applied as a starter in wheat. Better growth of the treated plants (roots and shoots) was observed.
Trial Results: Increased Yield and Nutrient Use Efficiency
Yield Performance across Crops and Locations in 2023
Yara conducted 7 trials across 6 states and provinces in North America, evaluating the performance of YaraAmplix PROCOTE OPTIMIZE on corn, soybean and wheat. As a result, there was an average yield gain of 3% and a win rate of 85% over the baseline fertility program.
