Pop-up, or seed-placed fertilizer is applied directly to the seed, or incorporated using the Strip-Till method. The result is faster growth earlier in the year which is delivered more economically than broadcasting. The traditional concept of a “starter” is that a band of fertilizer is placed beside and below the seed when you plant. With a “Pop-up”, the fertilizer is placed directly with the seed, or banded outside and beneath the seed row. This immediate exposure to fertilizer boosts the germination of the seed with doses of N, P, and K.
Ag Elements, LLC carries starter fertilizers that will enhance your crop yields by giving the plant the best start possible. NutriBoost is a balanced combination of five essential micronutrients: zinc, manganese, iron, copper, and boron. Zinc, manganese, iron and copper are key components of chlorophyll production and are critical for photosynthesis. All of them are needed during the early development of the crop, with boron being needed most during pollination. NutriBoost Crop Mix can be used as an economical correction of these micronutrient deficiencies in vegetables, row crops, small grains, deciduous trees and vines, citrus, and turf. NutriBoost Crop Mix is specially designed for both soil and foliar applications.
