Season I, Crop I, Row I


It seems like it’s day 486 of winter in most areas…we’ve seen an abundance of moisture and cooler average temps to start 2023. I am hesitant to think about when this season finally kicks into gear because it will be “all hands on deck” and “game on.” With a delayed season, you need to put all you can into getting your crop up fast but also give your crop a healthy start. The cooler and wetter conditions will be a challenge for managing fertility. The nutrients in your dry fertilizers need the right conditions to become plant available, and in a shortened season like this, that could mean the difference between getting your crop up and “off to the races” or delaying it even more. It’s possible to achieve quick emergence if you have the right fertility program “playbook” ready to go.


The NACHURS phosphorus-containing products are made with 70-100% orthophosphate. Why does that matter? Orthophosphate is immediately plant available, no waiting on the right conditions for your polyphosphate products to break down and become plant available at emergence when you need your phosphorus.


Now let’s talk about the most important nutrient to plants, Potassium. This one nutrient alone is responsible for numerous plant functions, including transporting other nutrients throughout the plant, cell wall structure, and, most importantly, stress tolerance. NACHURS Bio-K-containing products have potassium acetate. This is important to note since acetates are naturally occurring plant compounds that aid in the uptake of all other nutrients. Our unique formulation of potassium acetate, also known as Bio-K, is absorbed quicker and easier into roots and foliage than any other form of potassium. Some forms of potassium are extremely high in salts. Adding more salinity to your soil can stunt growth and kill vital microbes. Give your crop the fighting advantage it needs this season.

Post-Harvest Reflections

December 12, 2024
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.
