Less stopping

For starter applications you can size your tank to run out when seed runs out.  With dry fertilizer you have to stop more often.  For foliar application, our rates are often less than other products.

One pass

For starter applications, product is placed when the seed is planted on the same pass.  For foliar applications our products are compatible with many other products (pesticides, fungicides, herbicides, insecticides) and can be applied when you are already going into the field to make a pass.

Cleaning

Unlike dry fertilizer and high salt liquid fertilizers, our products are non-corrosive, low salt, and have a neutral pH.  No extensive equipment cleaning is necessary.

Staged Nutrition

We recommend adding nutrients throughout the growing cycle:

• Starter nutrition at the time of planting
• Staged (early to late season) foliar nutrition at key points

NACHURS starter allows the plants to be continuously fed efficiently during its growing cycle versus putting everything down at once and risking the chance that it won’t be available to the crop.

By spoon feeding the crop, it allows the grower to decide how much fertilizer to add to the crop during the season (and in essence how much money to spend on it as the season goes on) versus putting it all out before the season starts and hoping to get a good year.  It also allows for the grower to add required trace elements to the foliar application if needed.

Our starter products get the crop off to a fast start which shortens the amount of time for the crop to grow to maturity.

• The crop will have a quicker and consistent emergence
• This gives the crop a better chance of surviving a late spring frost
• If planted late, this will help catch the crop up
• Faster emergence allows for earlier pesticide application
• The crop will also develop a better canopy coverage
• This will shade ground conserving moisture
• Weed growth will be reduced
• Getting off to a fast start also means an earlier maturity
• Better chance of avoiding an early autumn frost due to earlier harvesting
• Decreased moisture content, resulting in drier corn at harvest

Nitrogen moves quickly throughout the soil moisture profile.

Phosphate moves very little in the soil.  The majority of P in most soils is essentially in insoluble forms.

Potassium is slow to move and usually becomes stratified in soil layers.

• If the plant does not get the nutrients then nutrients did not do any good
• Most of the nutrients applied are lost or tied up.  It is estimated that the following percentages of nutrients are either lost or tied up when placed in the soil:  N-50%  •  P-95%  •  K-85%
• When nutrients are applied efficiently, less is needed and money is saved
• Further healthy plants can process water and nutrients more efficiently
• NACHURS fertilizers can be placed on the seed at planting which greatly improves nutrient efficiency.

Safety (low impurities, low salt, neutral pH)

•  Plant/seed safe at recommended rates
•  Non-corrosive on equipment

Storability

Year round storability in any temperature environment

Compatibility

Compatible for tank mixing with trace elements, herbicides, pesticides, fungicides, insecticides to help:

•  Correct deficiencies
•  Decrease plant stress

We always recommend a jar test first and mixing the product right before application.

Decades of trials have shown yield advantages using NACHURS products vs. dry starter, 10-34-0 and no starter.
