CORN STARTER FERTILIZER
Effective nutrient uptake is enhanced with liquid starter fertilizers. Even when soils already test high in available nutrients, starter fertilizers can still raise yield and crop quality - building the foundation for your best crop to date. WHAT MAKES 8-20 DIFFERENT FROM OTHER STARTERS? POTASSIUM (K) Adding even just a small amount of Potassium (K) in a starter will help correct Potassium (K) deficiencies and improve plant productivity. Providing this nutrient early in the season is valuable as Potassium (K) uptake in corn occurs the most during early-season growth and is likely to decrease after 40 to 50 days. It’s important to note that cool spring temperatures can limit early-season root growth and nutrient uptake which may adversely affect grain yields. SULFUR (S) Hundreds of Midwest test trials have revealed that adding Sulfur (S) in starter fertilizers results in increased yields. When combined with nitrogen in a starter, Sulfur (S) has been shown to increase grain yields by more than 20%. In cool, wet soils the release of Sulfur (S) is slower - even in highly organic soils. AMMONIUM (N) Starters perform with ammonium nitrogen and sulfur in its solution; they enhance crop uptake of phosphorus, sulfur, and micronutrients. ZINC (ZN) Zinc (Zn) applied with nitrogen and phosphorus produces significant yield increases over those two nutrients alone in many soils. Many university tests have shown this to be true even in soils testing high in exchangeable Zinc (Zn).
