What is Ostara bringing to market with its CGP2X?
12:30
So CGP2X is a very novel phosphate fertilizer.
12:35
So the analysis is 942.0 and we've also got a 9% magnesium in there.
12:41
And so what makes it unique is most current fertilizers used, particularly most ammonium phosphate fertilizers are water soluble.
12:49
So whenever that happens and you get those phosphates that are solubilizing and they're going into the soil, you're only really probably getting 10 to 30% of that available phosphate that's actually available to the plant.
13:02
Our product being water insoluble, its release mechanism is actually, there's a slight citric acid that is exuded in a lot of the soil biology and plant biology.
13:12
And so the product literally kind of releases on demand as the crop needs it.
14:24
So, Tom, if folks want to learn more about Ostara or about CGP2X, where would you point them toward?
