Improving Nutrient Efficiency and Finishing Strong
Jenny Phillips, Marketing • June 1, 2020
Foliar feeding is a very important step in providing the additional nutrition a crop needs while transitioning into the reproductive stage. This helps set the stage for pollination while promoting plant health, maximizing yield potential.
NACHURS Bio-K products offer the grower flexible treatment options with proven effectiveness that demonstrate improved crop yield and quality. NACHURS Finish Line alone has provided a 4.4 bu/ac average increase on corn across all environments and a 71.5% win rate on all crops over the last 5 years. This product is an advanced nutrient technology package offering balanced NPK, fulvic acid and compatibility agents, a high concentration of Zn and Mn in addition to B and Cu, and is powered by NACHURS Bio-K.
When pairing 1 gallon of balanced NPK such as NACHURS imPulse or NACHURS Triple Option with a quart of NACHURS Finish Line, a grower is providing the plant nutrition during periods of peak nutrient and helping with unanticipated nutrient deficiencies.
NACHURS foliar products offer excellent tank mix compatibility with many crop protection products, but always jar test for verification. By tank mixing with crop protection products a grower is improving the efficacy of his treatments and providing a buffer for chemical stress.

Transform Your Harvest: Discover the Benefits of Finish Line®
The effect of foliar fertilization on wheat yield.
We are at the point in the year where things are slowing down around the farm and it is time to reflect on the season to remind ourselves what we learned. Over the last couple of weeks, the District Sales Managers and I have spent some time reflecting on what worked well in the field and the challenges we faced too. Here are the top 5 things we learned from 2024 growing season: #1 Split applying Nitrogen and Sulfur is a practice that should be embraced on a yearly basis when growing corn. Do you remember how the planting season started and what happened in the first 60 days after the planters started rolling? Our field conditions started out dry with some areas of the corn belt showing up on the drought map. Then mother nature blessed us with rain that never stopped in some areas making it difficult to finish planting. Growers that had split applied their Nitrogen and Sulfur were able to avoid nutrient loss from the rain but also apply the nutrients when the crop needed it most. In the end yield was better on split applied nitrogen fields compared to fields that had all the N applied in the fall or spring before planting. #2 For the past 2 seasons in the North region, we have seen the benefits of adding NACHURS Humi-Flex FA to the in-furrow starter fertilizer. NACHURS Humi-Flex FA is our fulvic acid and it is becoming a valuable component in our starter fertilizer for many reasons. We are using it to chelate the nutrients in the starter fertilizer especially phosphorus. Humi-Flex FA also buffers the soil pH to neutral in that nutrient band keeping nutrients available in fields that have less then optimal pH for crop growth. Finally, we use Humi-Flex FA to create a healthy soil microbiome that leads to more root mass and nutrient uptake. #3 Nutrient uptake charts for corn and soybeans have been a great tool for our team to help our customers visualize the crops nutrient needs based on timing during the growing season.
