MANAGEMENT
A properly crafted fertility program leads to the success of your crop today, tomorrow, and in the future. Including PureGrade® liquid fertilizer in your program will ensure your crop has the nutrients needed to reach its full potential. PureGrade low-salt starters are the best choice for maximizing yield potential due to numerous benefits.
- STARTS SEEDS IN COLD SOILS
Applying a PureGrade low-salt starter during planting provides an immediate supply of NPK to overcome slow growth and stunting caused by cold soils, harsh weather, and poor soil conditions.
- INCREASES FERTILIZER EFFICIENCY
Applying a PureGrade low-salt starter at planting is the most efficient way to fertilize high-yield crops. This timing reduces fertilizer tie-up, increases nutrient availability, and minimizes denitrification.
- PRODUCES DRIER GRAIN
PureGrade liquid fertilizers stimulate quick advancement through the growth stages, producing drier grain at harvest.
- INCREASES YIELDS
Using a PureGrade low-salt starter is the most efficient way to fertilize crops. In a university test, applying liquid starter on corn generated 24 more bushels per acre than a traditional broadcast application.
RESEARCH
By Amy Schroeder, Research Agronomist
Season Pass Plus has been researched extensively and proven to maximize yield potential. The average yield increase of five replicated trials was 8.0 bu/A. These trials were conducted at reputable research facilities in Indiana and Wisconsin.
