Deliver Consistent, Season-Long Benefits

To get crops off to a strong start, you need to provide adequate nutrition from day one. WinField United research demonstrates that using a starter fertilizer is the best way to do that. 

Faster, more uniform emergence and better root development are common with in-furrow starter fertilizer use. Seeds have immediate access to essential macro and micronutrients, which is key to helping maximize yield potential and the benefits of bigger, more extensive root growth can carry through the season to improve stalk strength potential and reduce lodging.

2021 WinField United trials* planted with 10-34-0 + Ulta-Che® Zinc 9% had a response rate of 72.7% with an 8.3 bpa advantage and trials planted with 10-34-0 + Ultra-Che® Zinc 9% + Ascend® PRO had a response rate of 90.9% with an 8.8 bpa advantage. Ascend PRO offers a similar starter response in cool, wet confitions while also providing added consistency in warmer environments. 

Maximizing yield potential requires minimizing plant stress. Adding Ultra-Che Zinc and Ascend Pro plant growth regulator can help optimize early-season plant growth and development.

Please contact your local Premier agronomist to learn more about your starter ferilizer options and what can be added to your tank to give your crops a stress free start.

As we move into the growing season, ensuring your crops have the nutrients they need to thrive is critical. Whether you and your agronomist planned for split-applied nitrogen or not, one of the most effective strategies to boost corn performance is with an in-crop application of nitrogen. This practice delivers nitrogen directly to plants when they need it most, supporting vigorous growth and optimizing yield potential. For farmers looking to enhance productivity while maintaining efficiency, top-dressing urea is a proven practice for success.

Although I’m a huge fan of winter, I also enjoy the way the earth comes alive at this time of year. The grass is greening up nicely, the trees are budding and farmers are beginning to till up the soil and plant this year’s crops. My biggest problem this time of year is figuring out what to wear. One day I’m in a t-shirt and the next I’ve got to put on a sweater. Do I wear spring colors or dark colors to hide the weight I gained over the winter? The struggle is real.
