It is well known that phosphorus is essential for seedling vigor. We know early season applications of P will set the trajectory for greater yield and speed maturity of the crop when applied in-furrow.
But did you know that most crops take up greater quantities of phosphorus after rapid vegetative growth is over? For most crops 70% of phosphorus uptake occurs during pollination and grain/fruit development.
Typical farming practices apply all of the phosphorus early in the season. As time passes, phosphorus binds in the soil and becomes less available. Therefore, applications of phosphorus just before or at the beginning of grain/fruit development can be extremely beneficial. Applying NACHURS Aqua-Tech 7-20-4 is the best way to apply this needed phosphorus in irrigated situations:
This should be an excellent year to give NACHURS AquaTech 7-20-4 a try!
Contact a NACHURS representative for specific recommendations on products. It is always recommended that a jar test be done when adding to other fertilizer or chemicals. Always read and follow the pesticide labels when considering tank mixing pesticides with fertilizer products.
