NACHURS in the specialty crop world

Always the innovator, never the imitator is our goal and those words have never been truer than the last number of years. NACHURS has for years led the industry in innovation, beginning with the early liquid fertilizer materials that our Grandfathers used, to high performance nutritional products of today. Greater consumer pressure to produce a quality product along with the greater need for efficient products that support greater returns and the continuing focus on Environmental Stewardship has led NACHURS to the product tool box that we have today. This tool box, has brought great benefit into the Row Crop markets but even more so into the Specialty Crop world.   The NACHURS tool set has brought great ability to a market driven on producing a crop as well as one that will meet demands on crop size, color, flavor, aroma, harvest window, duration of harvest, crop durability and shelf life. Currently few companies have the tool set that NACHURS has to truly influence all of those desired traits. NACHURS has always been a company of evolution with continued advancement in product technology, manufacturing standards and customer support. We have also serviced growers in dual markets, the Row Crop Market as well as the Specialty Crop Market. Due to the strong advantages that our product line brings to the table, we are excited to announce that NACHURS has created a division dedicated to the Specialty Crop producer. This segment of our company is focused solely on everything other than the traditional row crops, with focused product development and a staff dedicated to the support and production of such crops like Fruits & Vegetables, Ornamental Crops, Greenhouse Crops and Tree Nut Crops to name a few. You might be surprised to know that our work in these crops isn’t new and that many of the crops that are distributed by large National produce labels that grace your table daily may have been produced with NACHURS products and technology.   NACHURS and the American Producer: touching your lives from construction material building this great country, to the clothes on your back, to the food on your table. Innovation, progress and focus are the very core of our company.-Jay Castleman, Eastern 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.
