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.

August may not be a traditional planting month, but it’s a crucial time for growers looking to establish alfalfa or prepare for fall crops. For most of our trade territory, alfalfa should be seeded by August 30, ideally 6–8 weeks before the first killing frost to ensure strong root and top growth before winter. After September 1, success rates drop significantly.
