NACHURS Aqua-Tech offers new opportunities

Website Editor • June 22, 2016

When people think about fertigation, normally it is thought of as a way to deliver timely nitrogen in the form of UAN.  This has proven to be very effective in growing high yielding corn.  It also is very effective in areas where soils simply can’t hold nutrients due to sandy, low CEC and low organic matter. Applying phosphate with water has always been a no no because the cations in hard water react with phosphate and tie up nutrients and form particulates that can plug an irrigation system.  NACHURS has introduced our Aqua-Tech line of fertilizer specifically designed for application through drip irrigation as well as center pivot irrigation. Using polyamine technology we are able to keep cations found in hard water occupied so that they don’t interfere with the phosphate.  We use 100% orthophosphate so that it is readily available to plants.  NACHURS also uses Bio-K: the most soluble and efficient form of potassium.  So now we have new opportunities to feed plants through fertigation; we aren’t tied to just UAN or other insoluble forms of potassium. NACHURS offers 2 formulations of Aqua-Tech fertilizer.   Aqua-Tech 7-20-4 offers great opportunities to get additional phosphate to plants in season in a very easy handling effective way.  Aqua-Tech 2-0-20 with micronutrients offers great diversity of timing nutrient applications for precision.  We are having good interest in these products across the nation where irrigation is used.  Don’t miss your opportunity to Fertigate with Confidence.-Joe Osterhaus, Northern US Sales Agronomist

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.
