Sidedressing can boost crop health and yield potential

Leawood, Kansas (June 1, 2012)--Corn has a natural growing cycle, and it requires nutrients throughout the season. However, there are certain times the plant requires more N than others. This primarily occurs during the later stages when uptake increases and N availability is essential.¹ If N is lost early in the season, yield and overall plant health can suffer. Applying a sidedress application can provide the supplemental N the crop needs to finish out the growing season.

Adding an N stabilizer, such as NutriSphere-N^® Nitrogen Fertilizer Manager from SFP, can help growers limit the amount of N lost to the environment.

NutriSphere-N is the most advanced N fertilizer stabilizer available and is proven to protect N from leaching, denitrification and volatilization.

Efficient: Apply N sidedress when corn is most dependent on the nutrient and crop uptake is highest.²

Economical: Increase ROI on input costs by minimizing N loss and increasing potential yields through the use of an N fertilizer stabilizer, like NutriSphere-N.

Environmentally responsible: Following best management practices and sidedressing N at the proper time can reduce N fertilizer loss – less runoff and volatilization leads to better water and air quality.
