THE TECHNOLOGY THE SCIENCE

THE PRODUCT nitrogen phosphorus potassium sulfur

Strip-till cropping systems have their own unique challenges when it comes to nutrient management. Fertilizer placement, nutrient availability and nutrient stratification are just some of the challenges faced by strip tillers. NACHURS TMR-DP® is a liquid fertilizer that delivers phosphorus , potassium, and sulfur in one package that is convenient to apply in the spring or fall. This fertilizer contains organic acids and NACHURS® Bio-K® to allow for better uptake and provides a more balanced program. NACHURS TMR-DP® offers flexibility within fertilizer programs where strip tillage, 2x2 at planting, or sidedress applications are utilized.

NACHURS TMR-DP® may be blended with UAN at an 8:1 ratio. Rates will vary depending on cropping systems and fertility goals. NACHURS TMR-DP® can be used in a 2X2 placement with a planter that works well with a seed-placed fertilizer to maximize two delivery placements. NACHURS TMR-DP® can also be used with a sidedress application of nitrogen. NACHURS TMR-DP® is not limited to any ratios as it can be used for soybeans, corn, sugar beets, and dry beans. NACHURS TMR-DP® provides growers the quality nutrients they need specifically for their strip-tilled crops to help maximize yield.

Rates: determined on a complete program and delivery systems.

NACHURS® Bio-K® is a premium source of potassium fertilizer combined with a natural plant metabolite creating the most effective and efficient source of potassium. Using

Bio-K® technology results in quicker germination, improved root development, and an elevated abiotic stress tolerance; this leads to better plant establishment, more vigorous growth, and higher yields.

FEATURES:

Acetate is a natural organic acid and plant metabolite Two influencers (potassium fertility and biostimulant) in a single product Very low salt index Excellent compatibility with other fertilizers

BENEFITS:

Recognized by plants as a natural form of potassium playing an important function within the plant, forming many compounds necessary for increased productivity

The preferred source of potassium for plant uptake due to the acetate carrier molecule – more efficient and readily absorbed by the plant

Plant and seed safe – will not burn at recommended rates Blending and tank mixing flexibility

What makes Bio-K® unique is in the origination of its organic-based carrier (anion), the acetate molecule. Acetate is a natural plant metabolite that has many important functions within the plant as well as in the symbiotic relationship of plant roots, soil microbes, and mycorrhizal fungi.

P<.0001*Application rate: 4 gal a.i./acre (93.5% K-salt + 6.5% PGPR) = 1.5 ul a.i./90 g soil

*Soil Preparation and Inoculation:A 90 g aliquot of soil will be weighed in 100 ml beaker and then placed in a 1 L glass jar. The jar will then be autoclaved for 3 hours on two consecutive days in order to sterilize the soil. A 50 ml solution will be prepared for each treatment as follows: 93.5% K-salt (46.75 ml) plus 6.5% PGPR (3.25 ml). Solutions will be prepared two days prior to inoculating soil. Treatments (1.5 ul aliquot) will then be added to soil with sufficient carrier (28 ml DI H2O) to bring the soil moisture to approximately 50% water filled pore space. Approximately 10 ml DI H2O will be added to the bottom of the jar and lids sealed tightly so that soil moisture is maintained during incubation. The 72 microcosms will be placed in a temperature controlled incubator at 30°C. Microcosms will be removed from the incubator 7d after treatment initiation and prepared for fumigation and extraction with 0.5 M K2SO4. The 90 g soil sample will be divided equally into three 30 g subsamples and each placed in 50 ml beakers. Two of the samples will be fumigated and third will not (non-fumigated samples). Samples to be fumigated will be put into a vacuum dessicator along with 50 ml beaker containing ethanol-free chloroform (20 ml) and boiling chips. The dessicator will be evacuated and vented six times, but on the sixth cycle it will not be vented. After three days, the vacuum will be released and the chloroform removed.

It’s not so much about the use of potassium (as we agree it is an important farming practice), but rather the use of an efficient, available, and soluble potassium source to drive nutrient stewardship, sustainability, and yield.

Contact a NACHURS representative for specific recommendations. It is always recommended that a jar test be done when adding to other

fertilizer or chemicals. Always read and follow the pesticide labels when considering tank mixing pesticides with fertilizer products.
