Plan wisely in your crop nutrition strategy, for next season and years to come

Financial audits are often viewed through the lens of a point-in-time — what factors got you to where you are today, and what is the best investment for the near future?

When making year-end financial decisions, the nutrient choices you decide today influence soil health for seasons to come. Land deprived of fertility for multiple seasons could be at risk of loss for a decade or more, which could impact yields.

“We’re going to be using a lot more nutrients than we used to, because we’re growing more crops,” Connor Sibley, Postdoctoral Research Associate at the University of Illinois, explains.

Optimal nutrition boosts ROI

Look at soil nutrient health as an ongoing, long-term investment, rather than a year-by-year approach. Use yield monitor data to pinpoint high- and low-yielding areas of your field that might be experiencing site-specific nutrient removal.

“Ask, ‘Where’s the most bang for the buck?’,” advises Curt Woolfolk, Senior Manager of Crop Nutrition Technologies at Mosaic. “You’ve got to look at return on investment for each and every input across your farm.”

Consider this: MAP/DAP blends are made of granules with different particle sizes and densities. This can create the following, less-than-ideal challenges:

– Granule separation

– Uneven application

– Plants that don’t receive the right amount of nutrients

As a single, uniform granule, MicroEssentials® provides the optimal amount of phosphorus, nitrogen, two forms of sulfur and zinc.

Mosaic’s proprietary Fusion® Technology creates a unique chemistry that results in increased nutrient uptake and crop yield compared to alternative sources.
