When it comes to soil fumigation, performance is often judged by what happens after planting. But long before anything is visible above ground, the most important decisions have already been made. The success of a metam fumigation program doesn’t start at application, but rather hinges on how the soil is prepared, managed, and understood. Extensive...

When making your liquid nitrogen selection, consider adding higher rates of Thio-Sul®, a concentrated liquid containing both nitrogen and thiosulfate sulfur. By adding more Thio-Sul to your urea ammonia nitrate (UAN) solution, you can effectively stretch the nitrogen fertilizer while providing essential sulfur nutrition to the growing crop.

Written by Danica Kluth, Tessenderlo Kerley Agronomist High producing alfalfa removes large amounts of nutrients from the soil every growing season. Among the most critical and often the most under applied nutrients in forage systems are potassium and sulfur.

Maintaining adequate nitrogen in leafy green production is critical whether in South Florida or in the Salinas Valley of California. While nitrogen is essential to plant growth and development, it is also subject to losses that can affect crop yield and negatively impact the environment.

Your crops may benefit from a soil amendment that loosens your soil, which ultimately may improve aeration, and dispersion of other soil inputs. Solmenda®, a soil amendment that provides plant-available calcium and sulfur, also leaches away excessive salts.

CaTs® is a 100% water soluble calcium with a 0-0-0-10S-6Ca analysis. CaTs applied through the irrigation system can supply the necessary calcium and sulfur at critical growth and uptake times. Onion trials conducted in the PNW have show increased yield and improved storability.

In the pursuit of maximizing yield and fruit quality in processing tomato production, nutrient management remains a cornerstone of agronomic success. Among the various inputs available to growers, calcium thiosulfate ( CaTs®) has been a valuable tool for decades—particularly when applied through drip irrigation systems. CaTs delivers essential...

For almond and pistachio growers, one of the most critical, consequential, and confusing decisions when making a nutrient management plan is potassium fertilization. It’s critical, due to the importance of potassium in several physiological processes, and especially its role in maximizing nut size and total yield.

Get Your Soil Spring-Ready! Sectagon® effectively controls common pests found in growers’ fields, such as weeds and soil-borne diseases, and suppresses nematodes, all of which can harm growing plants and reduce yields.
