QuickRoots®
QuickRoots® is composed of live microorganisms that quickly colonize the root. QuickRoots® produces novel enzymes that have the ability to release soil nutrients that are otherwise not available to the plant. QuickRoots® has been shown to increase plant uptake of N, P, K and other important soil nutrients.
Results have shown:
- 8+ bushel/acre increase on Corn
- 3+ bushel/acre increase on Soybeans
- 3+ bushel/acre increase on Wheat
- 200+ pound/acre increase on Sunflowers
Nutri-Lock™ is available for silage, haylage and high moisture rolled grain or for baled hay and legumes. Nutri-Lock™ is a live bacteria product that helps speed up the fermentation process saving valuable dry matter, protein and energy. Available in 50 lb. granular units or 5 oz. frozen soluble powder units. Each unit will treat 50 tons.
Poncho 250™ is a seed-applied insecticide that delivers the early-season protection your crop needs against cutworms, wireworms, white grubs, seed corn maggots, grape colaspis, flea beetles, chinch bugs and other early season pests.
Poncho 1250™ is a seed-applied insecticide that controls cutworms, wireworms, white grubs, seed corn maggots, grape colaspis, flea beetle, chinch bugs, billbug and other insect pests. This is recommended for refuge acres in conjunction with the use of rootworm-resistant corn hybrids.
Latitude™ contains Gaucho insecticide for seed protection from wireworms, white grubs, seed corn maggots, seed corn beetles, flea beetles (up to first true leaf) and imported fire ants. These major seed-feeding insects are naturally occurring in the soil. Know how to identify them, but remember that they are often hard to find until the damage is done. There is no rescue treatment other than replanting.
Kernel Guard® Supreme contains Permethrin for protection from wireworms, seed corn maggots and seed corn beetles. It also contains Vitavix fungicide for protection from seed decay and damping-off. It has a very low order, with improved plantability for vacuum planters. Kernel Guard® Supreme is also labeled for soybeans and is available in 1.5 oz. canisters.
SoyGard® delivers a good disease package against both the primary and secondary diseases affecting soybeans. SoyGard®'s active fungicide is azoxystrobin and the time-proven performer metalaxyl. SoyGard® is effective against Rhizoctonia, Pythium, Phytophthora, Fusarium, Phomopsis pod and stem blight.
Soybean Inoculants
N-Charge Dry Stick™ is a pre-mixed, humus-based, high-tech inoculant containing concentrated numbers of rhizobia with a special built-in sticking agent. For planter box application: 1,500 lbs. Each bag treats 30 units.
Nitro-Fix® is a sterile liquid preparation of Bradyrhizobium bacteria which, when applied to soybeans, for a symbiotic relationship with the roots, converts atmospheric nitrogen to ammonia which is usable by the soybean plant. This process will help assure your soybeans will have sufficient nitrogen for faster growth, higher yields and higher protein content. Available in 40 bushel/48 unit bags.
HiStick® 2 is a category of sterile inoculants used on selected legume crops such as soybeans, peanuts, alfalfa, and dry beans. HiStick® inoculants promote essential nitrogen fixation naturally by delivering a uniquely high rhizobium count uncommon to other inoculants. Applied directly to the seed before planting, HiStick® can provide growers with higher yields and greater profits, with a low capital investment. Available in 56 oz. dry packs.
