Fast starts make for strong finishes

With the start of baseball season, there are many similarities that can be drawn to plant growth, stand establishment, and final yield.  Regardless of production system (traditional row crops, vegetable crops, greenhouse, transplants, etc.), it is extremely important to get the plant off to a strong, healthy start.  It is well documented that slow emerging, struggling plants provide little to no contribution to yield, and oftentimes are the source for disease inoculation within a field.  The use of in-furrow fertilization (3-6 gallons for corn; 1-3 gallons for soybeans, cotton; 6-10 gallons for potatoes, etc.) and/or nutrient supplementation via transplant solutions (1-2% v/v) provide the foundation for rapid, uniform plant emergence and subsequent healthy stand establishment.  NACHURS has a wide variety of products to choose from with varying degrees nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium concentrations to choose from, all from high quality, low salt materials.  NACHURS was also the first to market with Rhyzo-Link fertility solutions, which combines a nutrient component (N, P, K, S, Zn) with a multi-strain, microbial package (bacillus ssp.) to provide the ultimate boost in plant establishment.  Reflecting back to baseball, I will tie in a summary that provides relevance to both agriculture and sports, “You can’t win the division in April, but you can lose it!”- Tommy Roach, Director of Specialty Products & Product Development

Balancing Nutrient Efficiency

When costs tighten, fertilizer decisions often shift toward reducing spend instead of protecting nutrient efficiency.

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.
