Tidal Grow® alignN® 18-0-0 delivers encapsulated urea nitrogen, powered by align® Technology, when and where your crops need it most—directly on and into the leaf.
Feeds urea nitrogen through the stomata of the leaf where it will be consumed for maximum absorption.
Simplified Nitrogen Management
Easy-to-use, compatible with fungicides and nutrition products. A simple alternative, easily incorporated into an existing nitrogen program with flexible application options: ground, aerial, and drone.
Optimizes Daily Operations
Low application rates, compared with mineral fertilizers, help retailers and growers with season-long logistics: freight, storage, handling, and tank mixing.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is Tidal Grow® alignN® 18-0-0?
A: Tidal Grow® alignN® 18-0-0 is an intelligent leaf delivery technology applied to crops, like corn and wheat, as a foliar up to two times during the growing season when and where crops need nitrogen the most.
Q: What is the active ingredient in Tidal Grow® alignN® 18-0-0?
A: The active ingredient in align® Technology is a proprietary formulation to improve the delivery of crop nutrition.
Q: How does Tidal Grow® alignN® 18-0-0 impact crop performance?
A: Given that Tidal Grow® alignN® 18-0-0 is applied when and where the crops need it most, the technology demonstrates improved crop performance, including bigger brace roots, better stalk integrity, increased leaf surface area, limited leaf firing, higher leaf nitrogen content (proven by NDRE satellite imagery), less tip-back, and improved overall plant health—all contributing to improved yields.
Q: How does Tidal Grow® alignN® 18-0-0 give retailers and growers flexibility in their nitrogen management during the growing season?
A: Tidal Grow® alignN® 18-0-0 enables growers and agronomists to adjust nitrogen application rates in the fall and early spring and add Tidal Grow® alignN® 18-0-0 with post-emergence herbicide and late-season fungicides to ensure crops get nitrogen during the growing season—when they need it most.
Q: Is Tidal Grow® alignN® 18-0-0 more cost-effective than other fertilizer options available today?
A: While precisely formulated, Tidal Grow® alignN® 18-0-0 is priced competitively with traditional nitrogen sources. Growers benefit the most when optimizing nitrogen programs by applying the encapsulated urea nitrogen at the right time during the growing season with precise, low rates applied directly on and into the leaf.
Q: What is the mode of action of Tidal Grow® alignN® 18-0-0?
A: Tidal Grow® alignN® 18-0-0 uses positively charged particles, the encapsulated urea nitrogen, to adhere to the plant leaf, a negatively charged surface. This enhanced adhesion and retention of the fertilizer directly on the leaf directly supports improved intake of urea at an optimized rate. align® Technology allows the encapsulated nitrogen to penetrate the leaf tissue more effectively, leading to better absorption and utilization of the nutrients delivered.
Q: Does Tidal Grow® alignN® 18-0-0 require special storage and handling?
A: Tidal Grow® alignN® 18-0-0 is a stable encapsulated urea nitrogen product that does not require any special storage or handling, similar to other standard liquid fertilizers.
When harvest wraps up, many growers see leftover residue as an obstacle to clear before next year’s planting. But handled strategically, that residue can become one of the most valuable tools on the farm.
Bringing biological crop products to market might not be as expensive or time-consuming as their synthetic counterparts, but that doesn't mean it's a simple process.
Californian specialty crop growers are facing numerous threats to their livelihoods, including climate change-induced wildfires, higher crop input costs, and trade challenges
Better timing, smarter applications, and thriving trees next season. Fall is a decision point. For growers managing perennial fruit and nut trees, the post-harvest window offers a narrow but valuable opportunity to restore nutrient balance, prepare for dormancy, and strengthen next year’s crop potential. It’s the final shot at influencing tree performance before winter, and […]
Join Chad as he interviews Galynn Beer and Trey Cutts, PhD from Tidal Grow, a company turning crab shell waste into powerful chitosan-based agricultural inputs. In this episode, we dive into the science, strategy, and sustainability behind their proprietary manufacturing process—and how it’s helping Total Acre growers get more out of every acre.
Agriculture is in a constant state of flux. Whether it is new products and methods, there is always something new — or a new way — to do something. That can also be said about the people adopting those changes. Galynn Beer joined Tidal Grow AgriScience as Vice President of Global Sales in June. We talked with him about the change and what he hopes to accomplish in his new role.
