Unlock Soybean Potential from Day One

 Effective early nutrition is essential for maximizing soybean yield. A properly balanced Dry Fertilizer Soybean Starter applied at planting provides the nutrients your crop needs for strong early growth and better nutrient uptake throughout the growing season. This ensures your soybeans establish robust root systems and thrive under optimal conditions. 

• Improved Root Development: The right nutrients at planting help create strong, healthy roots that can efficiently access soil nutrients throughout the growing season.
   
• Early Growth Boost: Soybeans require an early nutrient boost for quick establishment. Fertilizer at planting supports rapid growth in the critical early stages.
   
• Stronger Stress Resistance: A solid start enhances a plant’s ability to cope with environmental stressors such as drought and disease.
   
• Increased Yield Potential: Early growth directly translates to better yields, as plants can capture and store more nutrients as they mature.
   
• Tailored Nutrient Blends: Nutrient requirements vary by soil and environment. Custom dry fertilizer blends ensure your soybeans get exactly what they need for peak performance.

1. Phosphorus (P)

• Role: Phosphorus is crucial for strong root development and early growth. It is especially important in soils with low available phosphorus.
   
• Recommended Rate: Apply 20-60 lbs per acre based on soil test results. More phosphorus may be necessary in soils with low P levels.
   

2. Nitrogen (N)

• Role: While soybeans fix their own nitrogen, a small amount applied early supports healthy growth in the early stages.
   
• Recommended Rate: 20-30 lbs per acre of nitrogen will be sufficient for early development.
   

3. Potassium (K)

• Role: Potassium helps with stress tolerance and enhances root development. It is particularly important for improving overall plant health and resilience.
   
• Recommended Rate: Apply 30-50 lbs per acre depending on soil tests. Increase if potassium levels are low.
   

4. Micronutrients

• Zinc (Zn): Promotes enzyme systems and root development.
   
  • Recommended Rate: 1-2 lbs per acre if deficiency is indicated by soil tests.
     
• Sulfur (S): Supports protein synthesis and overall plant health.
   
  • Recommended Rate: 5-10 lbs per acre for soils with low sulfur availability.
     

Application Timing:
Apply the dry fertilizer at planting to ensure nutrients are readily available when the seeds begin to germinate and develop roots.

Placement:

• For optimal uptake, place the fertilizer in a band 2-3 inches to the side and 2 inches below the seed. This minimizes the risk of seedling injury and ensures efficient root access to nutrients. Broadcasting is another great option.
   

Recommended Application Rate:

• Based on soil tests, the typical application rate for soybean starter fertilizers ranges from 50 to 150 lbs per acre.

 Early nutrient application provides the foundation for healthy soybean plants, ensuring your crops get the best start possible. A well-balanced starter fertilizer gives your soybeans the nutrients needed for rapid root development, stronger plants, and better yields. By applying key nutrients like phosphorus, nitrogen, and potassium at the right time, you ensure your soybeans thrive during the most critical growth stages.
