Improving Nutrient Efficiency and Finishing Strong
Foliar feeding is a very important step in providing the additional nutrition a crop needs while transitioning into the reproductive stage. This helps set the stage for pollination while promoting plant health, maximizing yield potential.
NACHURS Bio-K products offer the grower flexible treatment options with proven effectiveness that demonstrate improved crop yield and quality. NACHURS Finish Line alone has provided a 4.4 bu/ac average increase on corn across all environments and a 71.5% win rate on all crops over the last 5 years. This product is an advanced nutrient technology package offering balanced NPK, fulvic acid and compatibility agents, a high concentration of Zn and Mn in addition to B and Cu, and is powered by NACHURS Bio-K.
When pairing 1 gallon of balanced NPK such as NACHURS imPulse or NACHURS Triple Option with a quart of NACHURS Finish Line, a grower is providing the plant nutrition during periods of peak nutrient and helping with unanticipated nutrient deficiencies.
NACHURS foliar products offer excellent tank mix compatibility with many crop protection products, but always jar test for verification. By tank mixing with crop protection products a grower is improving the efficacy of his treatments and providing a buffer for chemical stress.

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

The benefits of maximizing potassium efficiency
The benefits of Zinc on Winter Wheat
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.
