Side-Dress and Foliar Opportunities

Joe Osterhaus, Sales Agronomist • Jun 12, 2018

We are now moving into June and Mother Nature has had her fun delaying planting in some parts of the country. I talked with people from the north ( i.e. Montana, North Dakota and Minnesota) a week ago and they were just wrapping up corn planting due to wet conditions. Across the corn belt most crops are growing and really looking pretty good. Recent rains have been very welcome here in Nebraska and Iowa.

Producers are side-dressing nitrogen and post spraying herbicides. I have been promoting NACHURS K-fuse with side-dress nitrogen applications and NACHURS Finish Line with post herbicide applications at 1 qt per acre. NACHURS K-Fuse is a 6-0-12-12 formulation of NACHURS Bio-K and sulfur. This was developed to mix with UAN at concentrations higher than you could with products like potassium thiosulfate. In some areas of the country our soil’s potassium and sulfur levels have been dropping over the last 20 + years. Research is showing that this combination of Bio-K and sulfur along with proprietary ingredients has been boosting yields and could be the next step to consistently reaching ever closer to 300+ bu/A.

NACHURS Finish Line is an 8-4-6 (NPK) with boron, copper, manganese and zinc. This NPK and micronutrient combination gives your crops the boost they need at important times during the growing season. We use fully chelated micronutrients so that they don’t get tied up with chemical bonds from crop protection products. This product mixes easily with a wide variety of crop protection has been on the market for 4 years with a proven, positive return on investment. Foliar feeding works despite what you may hear from various universities. New technologies and plant available forms of nutrients have made NACHURS Finish Line a virtual no brainer. Don’t miss the opportunity to add to the top end of yields.

There are always challenges when it comes to farming. We face these challenges every year by having a plan and trying to limit the variables that we encounter. At NACHURS we are continually working to find new efficient ways to make the best technologically advanced fertilizer in the industry. There is a difference. NACHURS has products you can believe in.

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
