How NACHURS can help your crop-
The foliar application of NACHURS K-fuel (0-0-24 Bio-K) provides the crop with much-needed plant-available potash at significant growth points in its life cycle. During flowering, cotton plants are a sink for potassium, and NACHURS K-fuel will help keep potassium levels in the plant where they need to be. Making this application twice during the flower/squaring period has proven to be a money maker by enhancing lint quality, production, and seed quality. When NACHURS Finish Line is included in the application, the micronutrients and other ingredients in this balanced nutrient help the cotton plant better deal with the applied chemistries. NACHURS Finish Line is perfect for tank mixes and provides a source of fulvic acid, copper, manganese, zinc, and boron. The combination of NACHURS K-fuel and NACHURS Finish Line has a long history of yield enhancement and stabilizing the potassium levels in cotton plants until the last white flower has made as boll. Producers have seen higher percentages of a productive top crop program that will yield positive results! Typical rates are 2-3 gpa NACHURS K-fuel + 1-2 qt/ac NACHURS Finish Line split over 2-3 applications.
