Advanced In-Furrow Corn Starter
START-uP is a proven product that will give your crop the early push it needs to help establish your stands.
This picture above is a good reference when someone says that in-furrow starter does not make a difference. Early plant growth is essential to having a positive outcome at the end of the season. Starting the plant off by establishing a better root system and stalk diameter along with bigger wider leaves will make a big difference as the growing point is coming out of the ground and the ear is being selected.
The corn plant is a factory that takes in raw materials through the roots and establishes the top growth of the plant. The bigger and better the root system including the hair roots, the more nutrients or raw materials it will take up and use. This then is transferred into the top growth of the plant and the wider and taller the leaves are, the more sunlight energy they can capture. What is going on above ground is directly related to what is going on below ground. The combination of the larger roots and leaves makes the plant healthier and adds to overall growth. Any advantage you can give the plant at this time of its life increases the chances of paying you back at harvest.
You want the corn plant to be as stress free as possible as it chooses which ear on the plant it is going to fill and most importantly how many rows around on the ear it will choose. Corn under stress at that time in the season will select lower as it senses that stress. Weather can be a big contributor to early stress. The grower needs to control what he can control. Weeds, soil moisture, (if irrigated), populations, variety selection, early disease protection, fertility, and healthy soils able to support high production. The better armed the corn plants are the more stress they can tolerate without knocking yield.
Corn production as you know is a numbers game. The more plants with the longest ears, along with 18 to 20 rows around and good kernel depth and weight is what is going to contribute to high yields and return on investment.
That starts by giving the corn plant an early advantage, and Start uP does that. It is blended with the nutrients, Fulvic Acid and Biologicals that contribute to plants as you can see on the right side of the above picture. After the ear selection stage is complete, the crop potential is set. Now the work begins to take that potential and turn it into yield. That is when Nitro-Mag and the other Nitro-Mag products will take over and continue to supply the plant with continued root growth and plant photosynthetic energy, helping to turn early potential into what goes across the scale at harvest.
