AgroInsights- That Little Extra
Don't forget to add a little fertilizer.
Joe Osterhaus, Agronomy Support Specialist
Well, another year with so many differences. Planting season was spread out from early April to nearly June. This two-month period was cooler than usual, with a mix of wet and dry conditions. Crop growth stages are all over the board causing farm work to be at different stages, and many producers in Nebraska have been irrigating for over a month already. A few areas have been picking up much-needed moisture, but those areas are hit or miss at best. Most corn post herbicides have been sprayed, and that corn is now growing like a teenager. Did you remember to foliar feed when spraying herbicide? Are you planning to spray fungicide? Don’t forget to add a little fertilizer with your fungicide spraying.
Nachurs-Alpine Solutions has a wide range of products for foliar feeding. We offer different combinations of macro and micronutrients to maximize yield potential, all powered with NACHURS Bio-K®. Bio-K is a patented formulation of potassium that has shown to be a game changer. This is the most soluble form of potassium on the market. We also have a full line of chelated micro-nutrients.
Our number one go-to foliar feed is NACHURS Finish Line® at 1 Qt. This product is a fully loaded 8-4-6 with boron, copper, manganese, and zinc. Finish Line has fulvic acid for plant entry and compatibility agents for easy mixing.
NACHURS Balance® is a 4-7-7 with boron, cobalt, and molybdenum. This is an excellent product for vegetable, fruit, and legume crops. This product promotes nitrogen fixation and both above and below-ground growth. This product is used at a 1-2 gallon rate/acre.
NACHURS NocKout® is a 10-0-10 with Boron. This new product this year combines up-front nitrogen and slow-release urea triazine N, Bio-K, and boron to help pollinate and balance sugars and starches. NocKout is an excellent product for aerial spraying as this will not hang in the air as long as other slow-release N products. Pilots like it.
Farming is like horse racing. It’s a gamble every year. You rarely win if you stumble out of the gates (use a good quality starter). Mother Nature bumps you and kicks dirt in your face the entire season (spoon-feed your crop). You need a strong kick at the end of the race (finish strong with fungicide + NocKout for the win).
