Milorganite Sales Training

To help prepare your sales team to answer your customers’ questions about Milorganite fertilizer.

What is Milorganite?

Milorganite is a slow-release, organic nitrogen fertilizer composed of microorganisms used to clean wastewater. Milorganite contains 6% nitrogen, 4% phosphorus, 0% potassium, as well as iron for enhanced turf greening.

Your customers won't have to worry about streaks, stripes, or accidentally burning your lawn when you use Milorganite! It contains virtually no salt, so it won't burn your lawn, trees, shrubs, or plants, even in the hottest temperatures or driest conditions.

Milorganite will not burn tender seedlings and can be used as a carrier when spreading grass seed. It doesn't need to be watered in; it will stay in the soil, ready to work when moisture becomes available.

Is it Safe?

Once the microbes digest the solids out of the water, they are heat-dried, forming easy-to-spread granules for easy application. Milorganite is heat-dried in large scale, bus-sized rotary dryers that operate at 900–1200°F, which heats the Milorganite to an internal temperature of 176°F. The extreme heat and dryness kill pathogens.

Milorganite is tested daily and complies with federal and state standards for protecting public health and the environment. Milorganite can be used with confidence for all of your fertilizing needs, including lawn, trees, shrubs, flowers, and vegetables, when used as directed.

Does Milorganite Work?

Golf courses have trusted Milorganite for over 95 years. The slow-release nitrogen in Milorganite provides a steady supply of nutrients over an 8-10 week period. Milorganite encourages steady growth, good rooting, and flowering without the risk of burning. It’s safe to use in hot, dry weather, and the chelated iron helps green plants and lawns.
