BENEFITS OF NACHURS LIQUID FERTILIZERSHIGHER YIELDS, HIGHER PROFITSWhen used as recommended, NACHURS fertilizers become a crucial factor in a successful farming season, resulting in higher yields and profits. We have proven the advantage of NACHURS fertilizers for over 60 years.

TOP QUALITY RAW MATERIALSA good sales representative canfool most of us, but they will not fool your crop. Bottom line: good raw materials are key to making a quality product! NACHURS® products are manufactured with the highest quality raw materials to provide available nutrients, seed safety, precision placement, and are corrosion-free. It’s these characteristics that make NACHURS liquid starters truly unique! Because NACHURS products are made of top quality raw materials, this allows farmers to precision place fertilizer directly on the seed safely when used at recommended rates. Low salt and impurities = Seed safety = no crop damage. We will not compromise fertilizer quality for a cheaper price. Remember: a fertilizer may have the same analysis, but it does not mean it is the same product.
SEED SAFETY
Click on the liquid fertilizers link above to find recommendations specifically for each NACHURS liquid fertilizer analysis, or contact your local agronomist or NACHURS Distributor. Low salt and impurities = seed safety = no crop damage.
PRECISION PLACEMENTNACHURS liquid starters have a neutral pH and are low in both salt index and impurities. These features of our liquid starters enable the product to be placed directly with the seed at planting time. Placement with the seed allows the available phosphorus to be taken up at the critical early stages of growth to maximize yield potential. NACHURS liquid starters contain 80% - 100% of their phosphates in the available orthophosphate form. Orthophosphate is immediately available to the plant during the critical early stages of growth. Plants can only take up phosphorus in the orthophosphate form.
IMMEDIATELY AVAILABLE N-P-KNACHURS 6-24-6 is 80% orthophosphate. NACHURS 9-18-9 and 3-18-18 are 100% orthophosphate. This means phosphorus is immediately available during critical growing stages. The Fertilizer Institute and independent researchers have found that fertilizers like 7-21-7 and 10-34-0 are up to 70% polyphosphate, which means phosphorous is only 20-30% available to the crop during critical growing stages. Under cool, dry conditions it can take an extended period of time, even weeks, for the polyphosphate to convert to orthophosphate. Click here to learn more.
QUICK, UNIFORM EMERGENCEResearch shows that starter fertilizers stimulate growth and speed up emergence to the five-leaf stage, which helps set maximum yield potential. This is the stage of growth in which NACHURS fertilizers are critical for N-P-K uptake. See what the NACHURS ADVANTAGE can do for you!
LOW APPLICATION RATESNACHURS fertilizers’ low application rates allow for more storage space. Below are plot results from Cedar Falls, Iowa, in which only 5 Gal/A of NACHURS fertilizer was needed for optimum yield Bu/A.
LOW MOISTURE CONTENTNACHURS fertilizers decrease moisture content, averaging 1-2 pts. lower moisture. This results in drier corn at harvest, which means drying cost savings as well.
EASE OF HANDLING AND PLANTING, NON-CORROSIVENACHURS fertilizers are clean and easy to handle. Our equipment is also very user-friendly and can be fitted to most planters/drills. The sample below reflects a comparison in corrosion on a metal surface in a matter of 12 days after application. The10-34-0 (left) had a bubbling reaction and was sticky and viscuous. The NACHURS 9-18-9 (right) formed a needle-like structure, which proved to be virtually non-corrosive. In a short period of time, this corrosion can damage your application equipment, which costs you money. Play it safe with a non-corrosive liquid fertilizer. NACHURS fertilizers are chloride-free, low-salt formulations that will not clog or corrode your application equipment, which saves you money in unnecessary equipment repairs.
REDUCES CROP STRESSBad weather can add unwanted stress to the development of a plant. NACHURS fertilizers take more of the gamble out of such unforeseen events with less yield loss by providing immediately available N-P-K. This stimulates growth and speed up emergence to the five-leaf stage, which helps set maximum yield potential.
LARGER, FULLER ROOTSNACHURS fertilizers allow plants to meet their fullest potential, evident in the comparison pictures below. The corn crops on the right have much larger, fuller roots.
STORAGENACHURS fertilizers store well in cold conditions: 6-24-6: approx. 5° F A lower application rate also requires less storage. Below are plot results from Cedar Falls, Iowa, in which only 5 Gal/A of NACHURS fertilizer was needed for optimum yield Bu/A.
LOW SALT INDEX
The higher the salt index, the greater the potential injury to the seed or seedling. *Reference: Handbook of Chemistry & Physics
CHLORIDE-FREE & LOW IMPURITIES
Because NACHURS fertilizers use the highest quality raw materials, our fertilizers are chloride-free and contain low heavy metals and impurities. As a result, NACHURS fertilizers are virtually non-corrosive. The samples on the right represent a 6-24-6 and 9-18-9 fertilizer analyses, which proves that starter fertilizers come in all colors and viscosity. However, it’s what is in the starter that counts during planting and at harvest. Now, looking at the samples above, which starters would you apply through your liquid fertilizer equipment? We’ve all heard the saying, you get what you pay for, and that holds true for fertilizer too. That’s right, just because the analysis is 6-24-6 or 9-18-9 does not mean it is the same product. And just because a fertilizer is clear, it does not mean it does not have heavy metals or impurities.
HIGH SOLUBILITY
Pounds of dry fertilizer that will dissolve in 1 gallon water at 72° F*. Availability is directly related to solubility. *Reference: Handbook of Chemistry & Physics
HERBICIDES, PESTICIDES AND FUNGICIDESNACHURS fertilizers mix well with most helps herbicides, pesticides and fungicides, but we always recommend a jar test prior to full scale mixing.

"Crops take up only those nutrients that are dissolved in the soil solution. Therefore, the solubility of fertilizer sources equates to their availability and is critical to properly feeding a crop." -Spectrum Analytic Inc
"Pop-up materials near the seed can create two germination problems. One is the effect from salt and the other is the zone of ammonia that is created when putting too much urea-based nitrogen too close to the seed." -Candace Pollock,
"Stimulated early growth means a quicker two- to three week trip from emergence to the five-leaf stage for corn. Even more
importantly, your corn arrives with enough vital phosphorus for fuller ears with more kernels on every plant." -Potash Corp
"Moisture stress, either a lack or an abundance of soil moisture during critical phases of the crop growth and development cycle, affects US average crop yield, particularly when moisture stress occurs in the most highly productive crop growing areas." -NCDC
"As with good comedy, timing is everything, especially when it comes to the effects of severe early season stress on corn. Do not discount the potential effects of a seemingly minor stress when the timing of its occurrence relative to crop growth stage or other complicating stress factors is “perfect” for crop injury." -R.L. Nielsen, Purdue University
"Salt content is one of the most critical characteristics of fertilizers that should be considered when fertilizers are applied, especially with seed-row or "in furrow" placement." -Dr. John J. Mortvedt

Because NACHURS products are made of only top quality raw materials, this allows farmers to precision place fertilizer directly on the seed safely when used at recommended rates. Unlike other fertilzers, NACHURS products will not burn the seeds when used properly.
