Strategic and Profitable Plant Nutrition

Website Editor • Jan 31, 2017

In recent years, NACHURS has invested heavily in new product development and testing.  Over the past several years NACHURS has led the industry with the launch of world class technologies such as Bio-K, Rhyzo-Link, Aqua-Tech, and YaraVita PROCOTE.  We have created plant nutrition programs and protocols that are proven and work.  Going on 71 years, NACHURS has led the industry in liquid nutrition innovation and technologies.  In December, we launched Rhyzo-Link LF.  This is the pure PGPR we blend into our Rhyzo-Link blends.  Having Rhyzo-Link LF available allows this important technology to be applied with any fertility system or program.  For example, Rhyzo-Link LF can now be added to any of our blends right in the field. Now that conservation, precision placement, soil and water stewardship has gained industry attention and traction, it’s even more impactful and significant how NACHURS has been the leading contributor of all this for decades.  With that said, I would like to share some programs that have been very successful and profitable to producers of late. In furrow, seed applied starter on corn and other crops has been a common practice for years and continues to be incorporated into planting sequences and rotations.  As we are busy in the shop and office preparing and planning nutrient management programs for corn, consider one or more of the following NACHURS nutrition programs: Corn in Furrow, 2x2 & Foliar Program Options   3 – 5 g/ac NACHURS 6-24-6 + 25 oz/ac NACHURS Rhyzo-Link LF + 1 – 2 pt/ac NACHURS 9% EDTA Zn.  If you are a fan of our NACHURS imPulse, NACHURS 9-18-9 or NACHURS 3-18-18, Rhyzo-Link LF can be used with them as well. If your program is a 2x2 system, make your poly blend complete by including NACHURS K-fuel (0-0-24) or NACHURS K-flex (0-0-19-6S) in a 5:1 ratio.  This will give your 2x2 application a complete NKP blend and not ignore the vital and much neglected potassium boost you corn starves for. If you use UAN sidedress and inject it into the soil, include NACHURS K-fuel or NACHURS K-flex at an 8:1 ratio in that mix as well. With your glyphosate application, serious consideration should be given to including 1 qt/ac of NACHURS Finish Line.  This micro-blend has been a welcomed and proven addition to NACHURS product lineup. If you layby at V5 with a last shot of glyphosate, including 1 g/ac of NACHURS SRN and 1 qt/ac Finish Line will help launch the pending rapid growth stage to another level. If you apply a pre-tassel fungicide, adding 1 – 2 g/ac of NACHURS SRN is a common practice.  Some customers use NACHURS K-fuel plus NACHURS Finish Line instead.  Both give the flowering plant a shot of plant food as transitions from vegetative to reproductive growth stage.

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
