A Challenging Start: NACHURS Offers Opportunity
This unusually wet spring season has posed some major challenges to growers across the country. Dry weather and adequate soil temperatures (corn 50° F, soybeans 54° F) have been hard to come by, making it very hard for growers to get in the field to plant. Now more than ever is it important to provide the crop the nutrition it needs to get a jump start to make up for delayed planting.
Growers can be proactive in reducing the risk of a low quality crop (low test weights, increased drying costs, slow maturity, etc) by incorporating the best liquid fertilizers into their fertility program. Using NACHURS® Bio-K® technology results in quicker germination, more uniform emergence, improved root development, and an elevated abiotic stress tolerance; leading to better stand establishment, more vigorous growth, quicker harvest, and higher yields.
More than just an in-furrow starter, NACHURS offers opportunities throughout the growing season to maximize crop quality and yield:
- Sidedress: The NACHURS® Bio-K® product line includes 3 products which can be utilized with sidedress UAN, offering blending and tank mixing flexibility and outstanding ROI opportunities. General rate recommendation is 1-2 gal/ac. In a third party corn trial summary, sidedressing with NACHURS® Bio-K® increased yields by 5.9 bu/ac*.
- Early Foliar: NACHURS Finish Line® should be applied at a rate of 1 to 2 quarts/acre in conjunction with crop protection products (A jar test is recommended to check compatibility). In a third party corn trial summary, foliar feeding corn at V4-V5 with NACHURS Finish Line® increased yields by 5.4 bu/ac**.
