With fertilizer prices at all-time highs, Meristem Crop Performance says it’s time to FIGHT BACK with new products and practices that can make the most of the nutrients laying in the soil that you already bought and paid for. This is the season to try new biologicals that break down residue, release nutrients, ignite root growth and improve yields.

In this demo, farmers will learn:

• How EXCAVATOR offers them four ways to win, that could easily tally up to $113/acre:
  • Breaking down residue faster will allow faster planting with fewer skips: $25/A.
  • More nutrients available early, 30-40lbs. N, 5-10lbs. P, 35-40lbs. K: $55/A.
  • Lighter residue means one less pass: $18/A.
  • Breaks down carbon and increases organic matter: $15/A.
• How they can win by moving away from blanket all-field fertilizer applications to more strip-till and in-furrow starters. Field research with REVLINE HOPPER THROTTLE™ and the talc/graphite carrier system for biologicals is demonstrating a 6 to 8 bushel per acre yield bump.
• How considering new biologicals can make the most of every pound of NPK you put down – and at a fraction of the cost. REVLINE ADVANCED™ contains REVLINE™ plant growth regulators and NUTRIFUEL™ with eight different microbes that boost plant health and nutrient availability.
