Cross the Finish Line in 2016

Website Editor • January 18, 2016

We usually don’t use this blog site for a blatant infomercial.  But this exception will be worth the read.  There has not been a more important crop season than 2016 in recent memory.  All of us in this industry have to carefully plan and execute a blueprint for success.  Input advice is coming out of the woodwork and from all corners.  The big question is what do I cut out of the budget while maintaining or increasing my year end production? Plant and soil nutrition is a hefty annual input cost and is rightfully on the table to be analyzed for reduction or even elimination all across the country.  Tread lightly down this road.  It is not going to do anyone any good to reduce yield, in a year like this one, due to a reduction in our nutritional program.  If you do need to reduce some nutritional inputs and cost, at least consider a substitute/replacement at less cost. NACHURS introduced a new product a couple of seasons ago that has gained our attention much more than expected.  Now for the infomercial.  NACHURS Finish Line has proven to be a powerful and profitable addition to our plant nutritional program.  In fact, I will go so far as saying this product of Bio-K fertility + essential key micronutrients + organic acid should be applied, to some degree, on every acre and every crop grown today in the United States.  That is a bold statement, but it really is that beneficial, that good, and that affordable.  Foliar apply NACHURS Finish Line with glyphosate early and reduce crop stress and improve plant health and yield potential.  Apply NACHURS Finish Line early mid-season with UAN at topdress or near flowering with other chemistry to improve flower set, yield, and plant health.  Bottom line:  We have seen fantastic results using NACHURS Finish Line from carrots to cotton, from corn to snap beans.  Foliar apply 1 qt to 2 qt/ac with other chemistry and see for yourself.  This application could help balance the nutrient requirements needed in the plant, especially if some fertility inputs have been reduced or eliminated.  So, cross the finish line in 2016 with NACHURS Finish Line.  Check out some 2015 3rd party yield trials using Finish Line on www.nachurs.com.-Keith Flaniken, Southern US Sales Agronomist

The Magnesium Factor

July 9, 2024
As I travel across Canada, it has been great to see moisture along much of my path. Greener pastures and ditches in Alberta, lush spring wheat, durum, and lentil crops in Saskatchewan, as well as many triticale, grass, and alfalfa fields, are being cut from British Columbia to Nova Scotia. I do not want to forget those potatoes spread across our country along with many specialty crops. As heat and moisture have brought germination, emergence, and vegetation growth, our crop nutrient management remains a key to success as we monitor the “Points of Influence.” Crop scouting, accompanied by tissue or sap samples, supports crop-based crop protection and foliar nutrient applications. As we have been programmed to concentrate on nitrogen, we are putting a lot of pressure on one nutrient to solve many deficiencies and concerns while ignoring the balance of fertility our crops may be looking for. In this blog post, I will not cover all the nutrient requirements but concentrate a little on magnesium, as I refer to what makes plants green. This spring, a significant amount of discussion surfaced around magnesium, and several growers requested magnesium for their cropping plans. Sometimes, what is new is old; looking back, magnesium has been a big part of many crop plans for decades. In sandy soils, specialty crops, and our high calcitic soils, we are looking to balance our oxygen and moisture space in soil levels. To better understand what we are looking at, I have included a list of what Mg is responsible for as well as soil activity stated: Magnesium Crops require magnesium to capture the sun's energy for growth and production through photosynthesis. Magnesium is an essential component of the chlorophyll molecule, with each molecule containing 6.7 percent magnesium. Magnesium also acts as a phosphorus carrier in plants. Necessary for cell division and protein formation. Phosphorus uptake could not occur without magnesium, and vice versa. Magnesium is essential for phosphate metabolism, plant respiration, and the activation of several enzyme systems.
