STANDING TALL

New technologies are making crop nutrient applications more precise, more crop-specific and more cost-effective.

Getting the most from tech advances requires gauging crop needs throughout the growing season and delivering nutrients over time for maximum uptake and minimal loss. Split and variable-rate application strategies are making it easier to help crops meet their yield potential.

To ensure owners have dependable fertilizer supply, CHS sources and markets more than 9 million tons of crop nutrients each year. Local cooperative precision ag experts can use soil and tissue testing to offer nutrient recommendations based on yield goals and results from previous seasons.

Nitrogen stabilizers take the process even further by helping growers get more value from every pound of fertilizer. N-Edge® nitrogen stabilizers, available from CHS-affiliated co-ops, help protect fertilizer investments by reducing volatilization, denitrification and leaching so more nutrients are available when and where crops need them most.
