Stimulating nutrient uptake with NACHURS Finish Line and how it works!

Joe Pflum, Northeast US Sales Agronomist • Jun 28, 2018

I know I've said so many times before efficiencies are not exact.

Efficiencies are dependent upon environmental factors, moisture, temperature, physiological maturity of the crop, and the current health of the crop. When we apply a foliar application we are targeting a plant stimulation of nutrient uptake from the soil through the roots. This is how we see a small amount of crop nutrition applied on the foliage respond very similarly to a larger soil application of the same nutrients. The foliage is one of the most efficient ways to drive small amounts of nutrients into the plant. The roots are where the majority of all nutrients are absorbed and some have to be extracted from the soil. Depending on the variables I mentioned earlier determines the soil's willingness to cooperate with the normal exudates from the plant (exudates are natural compounds manufactured by the plant and excreted through the roots, some of these compounds have a low pH and will help solubilize nutrients bound to soil particles). In other words the soil has its fair share of drama. When crop nutrition is applied on the foliage and is in the available form the plant will absorb (if the timing is correct), the plant will start the production of metabolites and exudates that promote the uptake of the target nutrients along with other nutrients that are associated with current plant functions it is trying to execute.

There is always room for NACHURS Finish Line®.

NACHURS Finish Line® was engineered with the latest technology for plant uptake of nutrients and tank mix compatibility. When applied during mid to late vegetative stages on into mid reproductive stages we can consistently see a positive ROI.

NACHURS Finish Line® is an improved foliar nutritional product comprised of essential plant nutrients, two forms of phosphate molecules, fully chelated micronutrients, surfactants, compatibility agents, and organic acids as well as the latest in potassium uptake technology, Bio-K®. NACHURS Finish Line® is manufactured with the highest quality raw materials on the market today, which once absorbed by the plant helps to promote a healthier plant and root system, and ultimately helps to improve crop productivity. NACHURS Finish Line is well adapted to all cropping and management systems, including but not limited to row crops, vegetables, fruit, tree, and turf/ornamentals.

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
