Micronutrients

Fertilizer

Our 3 and 5 Star programs are fertilization concepts that boost soil capacity to release nutrients from the soil using fertilizer bases with specific characteristics. In addition, we have known for a long time that deficiencies in minor elements such as zinc, boron, copper and manganese limit the development and yield of crops.

The minor granular elements added at a rate of a few kilograms per ton of fertilizer are poorly distributed in the fertilizer strip and therefore inefficient. This is why our 5 Star programs have integrated the Microsyn technology which consists of coating each granule with minor elements. This ensures an even distribution on the ground of these elements.

Urea and DAP (diammonium phosphate) tend to promote the presence of ammonia in early root development. The use of these bases as a starter is not optimal compared to the 5 Star that does not promote the presence of ammonia.

5 STAR STARTERLIQUID vs GRANULAR IN CORN

nosignificativedifference

There are two main types of liquid starter products on the market. There is the simple mixture of 32% solution and ammonium polyphosphate (APP), and there is the pop-up at the seed level applied at the same time as the 32% solution in 2x2. These products slow the growth of new roots because the urea it contains promotes the formation of ammonia (NH3), which is contrary to the desired effect of a starter.

Note that the urea contained in the 32% solution has no negative effect on the large well developed root system of June. In June, this is when the plant needs the 32% solution to draw in nitrogen.

FERTILIZERl i q u i d s t a r t e r

convincing results in corn

For producers who wish to remain with the application of a pop-up in terms of seed and the 32% solution in 2x2, there is an alternative solution, which is to replace the 32% solution with the N-POWER BLUE. Although less efficient than the 5 Star liquid fertilizers, this alternativesignificantlyreducesthenegativeeffectontherootslinkedtothe32%solution.Byitscomposition,the N-POWER BLUEdoes not promote the formation of harmful ammonia.

Anoptimalprogramallows the cornplant tohavesufficientnitrogenup to the5-6-leaf stage (collarmethod), which is the ideal stage where the post-emergence nitrogen (N-POWER BLUE or UAN 32% or urea, etc.) takes over. The starter alone does not always ensure nitrogen availability until this critical stage. We must therefore avoid the application of nitrogen prematurely in postemergence, at the 2-3-leaf stage (collar method), as this method has the effect of limiting the availability of nitrogen later whentheplantisatthegrainfillingstage.

Same amount of nitrogen, but with fractionation: preplant incorporated, and later in post-emergence instead of applying once everything all at post-emergence. The result from the trials is a yield increase of 16 bu/acre in 2016, 8 bu/acre in 2017 and 2018.

The composition of YaraVera AMIDAS does not favor the ammoniacal phase (NH3) which is toxic for small roots in development, as urea does. In other words, unlike urea, with YaraVera AMIDAS 13% of the nitrogen released is in ammonium form which is available immediately.

Using a hardness meter, YaraVera AMIDAS 40-0-0 5.5(S) has demonstrated to be stronger (average: 9.20 kg/granule) than granular urea 46-0-0 (average: 5.92 kg/granule) and ammonium sulfate 21-0-0 24(S) (average: 1.32 kg/granule). In addition to the granule hardness, YaraVera AMIDAS offers superior handling due to particle uniformity and its virtually dust-free consistency.

YaraVera AMIDAS is unique because of its production process. Urea liquor and ammonium sulfate are combined during the manufacturing process to create a homogeneous granule. It is a truly homogeneous product that ensures uniform application. The ammonium nitrogen and sulfate sulfur are immediately available to plants. YaraVera AMIDAS’s N:S ratio of 7.3:1 is ideal for most crops.

YaraVera AMIDAS homogeneous composition of urea and ammonium sulfate will not segregate. The physical blend of urea and ammonium sulfate does. Note the ammonium sulfate (brown) concentration inthe1.4mmto2.8mmsizefractionsinclassicblends.

YaraLiva NITRABOR is a field grade calcium nitrate fertilizer, with addedboronsuitableforfieldapplicationtoallfruits&vegetablescrops.YaraLivaNITRABORisadensegranularfertilizerthatspreadsaccuratelywhenplacedby hand or by machine (up to 24 meters). Its hygroscopic nature means that it readily dissolves when in contact with the soil in humid conditions or a night dew.

YaraBela AXAN is a uniform compound granular nitrate based nitrogen and sulphur fertiliser with an N:S ratio of 7.5:1 suitable for use on all crops. YaraBela AXAN contains nitrogen as nitrate and ammonium. Plants require nitrogen in the ammonium and nitrate forms, so by applying these forms the nutrients are immediately available for plant growth. Nitrates are the most efficientformofnitrogenandarekeytoachievingoptimumyields.

YaraVeraAMIDASisahomogeneousgranularfertilizercontainingureaandammoniumsulfate.Its7.3:1N/Sratioisoptimalforpre-plantfertilizationof most crops (cereals, corn, canola, potatoes, etc.). By combining urea and ammonium sulfate into a single particle, the absorption of N and S by plant roots is increased compared to physical mixtures.

For optimal yields, plants need boron and nitrogen. Boron is an important nutrient, as it is involved in cell division, flower development (pollenviability), synthesis of sugars and proteins and use of water and nitrogen. Therefore, the synergy of these two nutrients makes a difference.

• The amount of boron is generally low.

• Boron needs water to penetrate into the roots, but too much water can leach it away.

• Boron has little mobility in plants.

• Input must be consistent to ensure distribution throughout the plant, especially to ears.

Itisrecognizedthattheprobabilityofmaximizingsoybeanyieldsincreaseswithearly planting. This practice strongly encourages the use of a starter that promotes a quicker start of the plant under less hot soil conditions than a late seeding.

Astartercontainingphosphorusandsomenitrogenisbeneficialbecausethesetwo nutrients promote the early development of the roots which in turn stimulates the development of the nodules and the fixation of nitrogen. Nitrogen in thestarter promotes root development, not to take over the nodules, nor hinder their development, on the contrary.

The faster the root system develops, the faster the leaves can become photosynthesized thanks to thecontributionof fertilizingelements.Well-developed leaves that can therefore provide sugar to the nodules that in turn provide nitrogen to the plant and so on.

Yields are maximized when thenodules are able to supply nitrogen quickly and in greater quantity to the plant.
