Nutra-Flo has fertilizers specific for each crop

Mar 16, 2015

Available for corn, soybean, wheat and cotton

With new technology, seed varieties and other tools being developed for precision farming and agriculture, it is slowly turning from a practice to an art form.

Farmers, like painters, must use the proper brushes, tools and paint combinations on different parts of their canvas to bring them to life.

Nutra-Flo from North Sioux City, South Dakota, introduced its RoMax Performance Series, a line of fertilizers designed for the specific crop the farmer is planting. The products are available for corn, soybean, cotton and wheat.

“Our team of expert agronomists created these platforms of N-P-K and micronutrients based on proven crop response,” said Jason Glover, Nutra-Flo Director of Product Development in a press release.

“Complex interactions between N-P-K and micronutrients ensure essential crop functions take place throughout early development, and early development leads to yield gains.”

RoMax wheat is designed to enhance the early season growth and promote root systems that can withstand drought and winter kill. It encourages tillering, improves early season growth which also allows for more grazing potential and can improve water usage and nitrogen efficiency.

RoMax wheat also comes with a guaranteed analysis based on an application rate of 4 – 10 gallons per acre:

Total Nitrogen (N) ........................................9.0%

Available Phosphate (P2 O5 ) .................... 24.0%

Soluble Potash (K2 O) ....................................3.0%

Copper (Cu) .................................................. 0.08%

Manganese (Mn) ........................................ 0.08%

Zinc (Zn) ........................................................ 0.05%

Join the discussion. Is RoMax something you might consider using for your wheat or other crops?

Video: Seed Testing: Regulatory Cost or Competitive Advantage?

Most seed companies see testing as a regulatory box to check.

But what if it’s actually one of your strongest competitive advantages?

In this conversation with Amanda Patin, North America Business Development Director for US Crop Science at SGS, we dig into what seed testing really reveals, far beyond germination and a lab report. From seed vigor and mechanical damage to stress performance and pathogen pressure, Patin explains how deeper testing can help companies differentiate their seed, protect value, and drive real return on investment.

If seed testing is something you only think about when you have to, this discussion might change how you see and use it.
