Bio-Ag
Soil and Crops Program
A
soil fertility program involves two components:
The
soil balance or corrective program: If a soil
nutrient is in short supply, add it. If it is in the
high range, don't add more.
Crop fertilizer program: a balanced diet of
nutrients fed to a specific crop, at a specific time,
to meet that crops' specific need.
What
you should expect:
Good crops are grown on healthy, mineralized soils.
A healthy soil is one which has a balance of all the
minerals, is biologically active, and has good soil
structure. Crops grown on a Midwestern Bio-Ag fertility
program should have better plant health, larger roots,
greater nutrient efficiency, increased mineral uptake,
improved water efficiency, better seed quality and
higher yields.
Midwestern
BioAg fertilizers:
Nutrient balanced: Our fertilizer blends use
a variety of high quality materials with a combination
of all major nutrients: N, P, K, Ca, Mg, S, Zn, Mn,
Fe, Cu, B. We also use materials such as Rock Phosphate,
Humic Substances, Corn and Sugar Beet Fermentation
byproducts, Ammonium
Sulfate, Fish Meal and Kelp. These provide major
minerals, hormones, vitamins, enzymes and many trace
elements.
We select materials that are non-harmful to crop roots
and soil life; watch excesses as well as deficiencies;
balance the soluble (readily available) and also provide
the slow release to provide a continuous supply of
nutrients over time; control pH, keeping fertilizers
for most situations on the acid side to avoid the
microbiological tie-up and maintain availability to
the plant over a long period of time; and, use homogenized
trace mineral blends, granulated with a controlled
pH.
A
major component in our soils program is calcium as
a nutrient, not just a buffer, for improved soil and
plant health, increased nutrient uptake and increased
livestock performance.
