With the growing popularity and adoption of humic substances in the agriculture industry, many producers are experiencing the benefits of incorporating humics into their farming practices. These benefits include water retention, enhanced nutrient uptake, and increased microbial activity resulting in higher organic matter breakdown in the soil. When humic is used in-furrow during seeding, producers give the seed the highest chance of germination and quickest emergence.
WestMET Ag, formerly known as Westmoreland Mining, has partnered with TopKrop Fertilizers to increase the availability of its humic products to western Canadian growers.
Across the board, fertilizer prices are higher in 2021. While nitrogen often gets the most attention, phosphorus prices are up the most. While fertilizer prices are higher, it’s important to remember the context. Prices are up from historic lows and, for the most part, remain well below the levels of 2011-2014. The exception, however, is phosphorus fertilizer. In many ways, phosphorus is the biggest chapter of the 2021 fertilizer story…
AdvancedAg’s ACF-SR is a plant growth-promoting bacterium that utilizes five species of bacteria to improve soil and plant health. The five species of bacteria and their functions are:
We believe there are four components that simply cannot be argued or ignored in the perfect starter fertilizer.
The health of your crop begins at seeding time. What fertilizer you place your seed with can make a huge difference. Traditional fertilizers like urea, anhydrous ammonia, and MAP have high salt concentrations. When placed with the seed, they can put the health of your newly planted crop at risk! ELEVEN is a specially designed fertilizer with a low salt concentration and a balanced number of macronutrients (N-P-K), along with eight others, to get plants the nutrients needed at the start of seeding.
Tillage, high salt content in fertilizers, chemicals, and compaction from farm implements can take their toll on the general tilth of the soil. Restricting its ability to provide the plants a balance of air, nutrients and the mechanical stability required to produce optimal crops year in and year out.
The health of your crop begins at seeding time. What fertilizer you place your seed with can make a huge difference. Traditional fertilizers like urea and anhydrous ammonia and MAP have high salt concentrations that when placed with the seed put the health of your newly planted crop at risk! Fertilizers with lower salt concentrations are recommended for direct seed placement. By placing a low salt fertilizer with your seed, you could increase seed germination & emergence rates and enhance seedling vigor giving your crop the leg up it needs in an often difficult environment.
