Two things farmers aren’t interested in — adding tasks to the to-do list and spending more money. Sometimes there’s no time to add even one more thing to the to-do list and sometimes there’s no wiggle room in the budget.
That’s why making the most of fertilizer investments with easy-to-use products may sound too good to be true. But with the help of science, research and trial data, nutrient use enhancers from Mosaic Biosciences™ are designed to increase fertilizer efficiency.
Nutrient use efficiency refers to the increased availability of nutrition in the soil so crops can take up and utilize those nutrients for optimal yield and quality. Improving nutrient use efficiency for crops, especially at the start of the growing season and during key growth periods, can improve season-long plant growth and vigor, helping to maximize your return on fertilizer investment (ROFI).
More Nutrients
Up to 60% of yield is dependent on crop nutrition and that yield potential can be left on the table — or in the soil — when nutrients remain bound in the soil and inaccessible to plants. Nutrient use enhancement technologies made with the right strains of PGPR — Plant Growth Promoting Rhizobacteria — activate the connection between microbes and nutrients in the soil. That mutualistic relationship helps break down soil-bound nutrients to make them more accessible and available to crops, while enhancing the microbial activity in the soil.
More ROI
Rhizobacteria use sugars, acids and enzymes naturally created by the plant as they grow and colonize around the roots, encouraging root health and growth. These bacterial colonies loosen nutrients from the surrounding soil sites where they are bound. This increase in nutrient accessibility can result in increased fertilizer efficiency, ultimately increasing the return on fertilizer investment.
More Flexibility
Nutrient use efficiency doesn’t have to add multiple new steps to a to-do list. For example, whether you use conventional liquid or granule fertilizer, or manure, Mosaic Biosciences products can be added to a tank mix or coated on dry fertilizer, making them a convenient and effective way to get maximum return on your fertilizer investment.
Maximizing the benefit of nutrients in the soil doesn’t have to add items to the to-do list or add a large expense to the budget. Nutrient use enhancers from Mosaic Biosciences help give plants a strong start, giving growers the chance to maximize yield potential and ROFI this season.
