Nutrient Management

Responsible Nutrient Management advocates using the most efficient cultural practices and usable plant nutrition products available. When the highest percentage of applied nutrients ends up producing a crop yield, the least environmental risk is created. Nutrients that are taken up to produce food and fiber do not end up in streams and lakes.

Test
Use a soil test to determine what your crop needs so you are not over applying nutrients.

Rate
Make sure you have a balanced program and you are getting the greatest productivity per unit of nutrient applied.

Usability
The proper placement of nutrients is important; make sure the nutrients are protected from loss and match the crop demands.

Sustainable
Maximize productivity by understanding the value of micronutrients and nutrient interactions.

Timeliness
The application of nutrients must be at the right time to match peak demands and the usability window of the nutrient.

Invest wisely, know your yield history, know your soil capacity
And remember, micro’s matter.
