Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the value of potassium, sulfur, and humic acid in Aero-Carbon?
A: The potassium in Aero-Carbon is essential during the later growth stages in crop growth due to the increased needs to support grain fill and optimize quality at harvest. Sulfur is essential for nitrogen utilization and amino acid formation. The humic acid in Aero-Carbon increases the uptake of applied nutrients, improving the overall efficiency of application.
Q: What is the benefit of drone and aerial application methods for fertilizer applications?
A: Using aerial fertilizer applications increase efficiency by covering large cropping areas quickly and precisely. Drones also minimize waste by delivering fertilizer where it is required without the need of traditional foliar application methods.
Q: How does applying Aero-Carbon with aerial applications save time and money?
A: Fertilizer application via drone, airplane, or helicopter can save time by quickly applying products to fields. Drone applications allow fertilizer use rates to be lowered by customizing applications through the field to where the nutrients are needed most.
Q: When should I apply Aero-Carbon?
A: On field, row, and vegetable crops apply Aero-Carbon post emergence at the vegetative or reproductive growth stages.
Q: What is the use rate for Aero-Carbon?
A: Aero-Carbon is applied at a rate of 16-32 oz per acre.
Q: Can variable rate be used to apply Aero-Carbon?
A: Yes. When applied with aerial applications, variable rate technology can be utilized to create a custom application plan that allows for fertilizer application rates to be adjusted throughout the field to accommodate the various nutrition needs.
Q: Can Aero-Carbon be mixed with crop protection products?
A: Yes, Aero-Carbon is compatible with many crop protection products. The Andersons recommends a compatibility (jar) test before field mixing and application. Always read and follow all individual product labels before use. For more information, visit AndersonsPlantNutrient.com/Tank-Mix.
