Peanuts


Peanuts are primarily located-

Peanuts are grown throughout the Southeast United States. Those states include NC, GA, SC, VA, TX, FL, AR, MS, OK, NM, LA, and AL.


Common deficiencies for peanuts-

A common deficiency often seen in peanuts includes Boron and Manganese. This usually occurs on more sandy soils, a popular soil type for peanuts.

 

What are the periods of influence for peanuts-

Peanuts have several periods of influence. This begins with the early vegetative stage, which moves into the first bloom. During this period, it is crucial to provide the plant with essential nutrients that play an important role in plant growth. Following the first bloom, pegging is the process in which the ”pegs” grow away from the plant as a stem and penetrate the soil, where the seed embryo on the end of the peg begins to form into a peanut. Following pegging, the peanuts then form into a full-size pod which will, in turn, mature into full-size peanuts, which are then dug and harvested. Essential nutrients are needed during each process, and the plants must have what they need to ensure full yield potential.

 

How NACHURS can help your crop-

Typical recommendations for peanuts will follow along with the periods of influence. Foliar applications of NACHURS Finish Line® begin around 30 days after planting recommended. These applications will also continue at roughly 45 and 75 days after planting. This application of Finish Line provides plants with essential macronutrients N-P-K, as well as critical micronutrients that are needed for crucial plant growth functions. Through the applications at 30, 45, and 75 days of Finish Line, both Boron and Manganese are supplied, which ensures that the plant receives the levels needed and should prevent deficiency symptoms through the season. Line also contains fulvic acid, which helps to ensure efficient nutrient absorption on the leaf surface. After this period, NACHURS K-fuel® is recommended to be applied 90 and 110 days after planting. During this later period of pod fill and peanut maturity, potassium is critical in helping to ensure pods fill and the highest yield can be achieved.

Wayne Becker, District Sales Manager & Agronomy Specialist Blending two NACHURS products (Triple Option® and Balance®) at a 1:1 ratio has proven to jump start soybeans and increase profitability. Many farmers would like to use in-furrow starter fertilizer with their beans but are uncertain of the benefits. When beans are first planted early growth is very important. • It is a race against time between soybeans and weeds, fighting for water, sunlight and nutrients. • The quicker a canopy is established, the less weeds are able to steal resources, which could affect yield potential. Traditional In-furrow fertilization of beans is usually not as easy to visually observe as when it is applied to corn or wheat. However, that does not mean that they are not extremely important. This treatment will provide early season fertility that will help the young crop remain strong and vibrant, enabling them to better deal with stresses like insects, drought or water logging. NACHURS liquid fertilizer has been providing the best in-furrow fertilizer treatments for 75+ years. With NACHURS in-furrow, producers have always been able to safely provide the traditional benefits without decreasing germination because of the fertilizer’s low-salt content and superior availability. New focus on plant and soil health has raised the bar even higher. The NACHURS Bio-K® line of fertilizers is the most available source of K on the market, yet it also promotes both soil and plant health. Because the Bio-K fertilizer is a carbon molecule combined with potassium, applying it in-furrow provides beneficial soil microbes with a food source. This enables microbes to increase nutrient availability – for all types of crops. Legumes use Rhizobia to “fix” their own nitrogen. NACHURS has developed a product specially designed to stimulate early development of these important soil microbes. It is called Balance®. We combine the rhizobia stimulating qualities of Balance with Triple Option which maximizes quantity of other nutrients. The result is improved potential for early season growth and greater profitability of soybeans
