U.S.: Tidal Grow AgriScience Launches Intelligent Leaf Delivery Technology

By Tidal Grow AgriScience|16 September 2025

Tidal Grow AgriScience, a division of Tidal Vision Products Inc., announces today the launch of its intelligent leaf delivery technology innovation, align Technology, a first-of-its-kind foliar applied nitrogen designed to help growers maximize yields while significantly reducing nitrogen waste. Formulated precisely for broadacre crops, like corn, wheat, cotton, and canola, alignN 18-0-0 delivers encapsulated urea nitrogen directly onto and into the leaf, where it is absorbed for maximum uptake and metabolism.

Unlike traditional nitrogen applications, alignN is powered by Tidal Grow’s align Technology for intelligent leaf delivery. This precisely bioengineered encapsulated formula ensures the crops are nourished exactly when and where needed, while minimizing the risk of nitrogen loss through leaching or runoff. The formulation bonds electrostatically to the plant, keeping nitrogen available even in challenging conditions and further limiting chances of losses.

Compatible with most herbicides, fungicides, and other nutritional inputs, alignN 18-0-0 easily integrates into growers’ current nutrient management strategies. align 18-0-0 helps simplify season-long logistics—for both retailers and growers—thanks to its low application rates. Its low-rate and flexibility allow for application by ground equipment, aerial sprayers, or drones, making it adaptable to a range of operational needs and field conditions.

“Our large-scale grower trials demonstrate measurable crop performance improvements, including bigger brace roots, improved stalk integrity, limited leaf-firing, less tip-back, bigger ears, and enhanced plant health—proven by quantified increases in field imagery data—which all contribute to improved yields,” said Trey Cutts, vice president of commercial ag science for Tidal Grow AgriScience. “With this technology, we are helping growers get the most out of their nitrogen program. It’s an effective, intelligent way to deliver nitrogen that ultimately improves crop performance.”

Despite its premium formulation, alignN is priced competitively with traditional nitrogen sources, providing growers with cost-effective nitrogen programs—delivering a strong return on investment and the flexibility to make in-season nitrogen decisions.

“Nitrogen costs and supply chain issues create real in-season challenges for growers and retail agronomists to overcome when grappling with weather and equipment breakdowns,” said Galynn Beer, vice president of global sales for Tidal Grow AgriScience. “They are in dire need for simple nitrogen management tools that offers flexibility, is easy to incorporate into existing fertility programs, and is cost effective. alignN helps to fill these gaps.”

Tidal Grow plans to expand alignN in global markets in the near future, with additional product formulations in development to further extend the technology’s benefits.

Key features and advantages of Tidal Grow alignN include:

  • Encapsulated urea nitrogen applied in season when crops need nitrogen the most
  • Direct delivery to the leaf’s cuticle and stomata for precise absorption
  • Flexible application options: ground, aerial, and drone
  • Compatible with most herbicides, fungicides and other fertility inputs
  • Low application rates streamline logistics and operations
  • Supports 4R Nutrient Stewardship practices
