Sulfur in Corn Programs: Why It’s Important
Why is sulfur important for crop production? It works hand-in-hand with nitrogen. In fact, poor nitrogen performance in crops is often associated with lower than optimum available sulfur. But – sulfur is also a vital crop nutrient itself. It’s an important part of amino acids for plant protein, and it also helps with chlorophyll formation…
Get an Extra Lift: Foliar Feeding Soybeans
While a foundation of soil-applied nutrients is important, soybeans often get an extra lift from foliar feeding. Foliar feeding lets the plant absorb what it needs – precisely when it needs it most. Plus, it avoids many soil-related issues that can lead to nutrient loss…
Micronutrient Deficiencies
Though only needed in small amounts, elements like boron, copper, iron, manganese, molybdenum, and zinc are essential for healthy plant growth. Deficiencies can be triggered by soil pH, moisture, or temperature, impacting everything from root development to overall yield. If your crops aren’t reaching their full potential, a micronutrient soil test is the best way to see exactly what’s missing.
Essential Plant Micronutrients
Though required in only small amounts, micronutrients like boron, copper, iron, manganese, molybdenum, nickel, and zinc are essential for a plant to fully thrive. Deficiencies are becoming increasingly common today, driven by modern high-yielding crops stripping the soil, topsoil removal during land prep, and excessive phosphorus levels. Watch the video to learn about the essential micronutrients or browse our micronutrient products.
Secondary Nutrient Deficiencies
Don’t forget secondary nutrients! Think of these as the unlock code for your primary fertilizer. Without sulfur, calcium, and magnesium, your crops simply can’t utilize N, P, or K to their full potential. Watch this video to decode your crop’s warning signs—from sulfur’s yellowing young leaves to calcium’s withered growing points—and stop a hidden shortage from capping your yields.
Molybdenum Deficiency
When older leaves start twisting and turning a mottled yellow at the edges, it’s easy to blame nitrogen starvation. This quick video uncovers the real culprit—molybdenum deficiency—and explains why this unique nutrient behaves completely opposite to other minerals in acidic soils.
Magnesium Deficiency
As the literal centerpiece of the chlorophyll molecule, magnesium runs the engine behind your crop’s sugar, oil, and amino acid production. Watch this video to see how a high-calcium or high-potassium soil can accidentally lock out this vital nutrient, and learn to spot the signature fading between the veins of older leaves before growth grinds to a halt.
Calcium Deficiency
Serving as the structural backbone of plant cell walls, calcium dictates everything from early root development to final fruit storage life. Watch this video to see why a deficiency strikes your crop’s newest growing points first—causing withered shoots, tip burn, and dropped blossoms—and learn how maintaining calcium effectively shields your fields from underlying soil toxicities.
Iron Deficiency
Iron is essential for chlorophyll formation and energy transfer, meaning a shortage will quickly stall growth and lower your yields. Watch this video to learn how to spot the warning signs—like interveinal chlorosis on young leaves—and understand how high pH, poor aeration, or nutrient imbalances trigger a deficiency.
Manganese Deficiency
Manganese is a vital enzyme activator that drives chlorophyll production, nutrient uptake, and crop maturity. Watch this video to learn how to spot the warning signs of a manganese deficiency—like interveinal chlorosis and necrotic spots on young leaves—and see how soil pH directly impacts its availability.
Boron Deficiency
Want to maximize your harvest? It might all come down to one crucial micronutrient: boron. In this quick video, you’ll discover how boron drives early growth, fuels plant reproduction, and directly impacts your final yield. Plus, you’ll learn how to spot the critical warning signs of a boron deficiency—like stunted roots and brittle, rusty leaves—before it’s too late. Watch now to protect your plants, secure your pollination, and boost your crop quality!
Copper Deficiency
Copper deficiencies may be rare, but a shortage can quietly stall photosynthesis and damage new growth—especially in cereal crops and western soils. Watch this video to learn how to spot the distinct visual signs of copper deficiency, avoid toxicity risks, and manage soil pH to unlock this essential micronutrient.
