[Watch] Preserving Yield Potential with Proactive Foliar Applications
May 27, 2025 — Posted By Agricen

05-25-foliar-webinar-landing-pgHow do in-season foliar applications help crops achieve or preserve their yield potential? 

Watch our on-demand webinar, "Preserving Yield Potential with Proactive Foliar Applications," to learn:

  • How foliar applications help growers preserve yield potential
  • How foliar-applied TERRAMAR increases nutrient uptake and minimizes the potential impact of weather-related stress in a broad range of crops
  • Details from Advanced Agrilytics' on-farm trials testing early post applications of TERRAMAR on corn

Guest speaker AJ Woodyard, the research agronomy lead for Ag Ingenuity Partners (the independent research arm of Advanced Agrilytics), presents some of the key findings from TERRAMAR corn trials conducted by Advanced Agrilytics during the 2024 season. Key takeaways from the trials, in which a V6 foliar application of TERRAMAR was evaluated on ten farms across Iowa, Illinois, Indiana and Ohio and compared to a control, include increased crop uptake of nitrogen and phosphorus, increased sucrose concentration in the plant and yield benefits in both water-limited and stable environments where TERRAMAR was applied.

A combination of two unique technologies, TERRAMAR delivers increased nutrient uptake and enhanced stress mitigation, which can optimize plant health and contribute to enhanced yield. The carbon-based technology (CBT) in TERRAMAR, which is derived from biologically converted leonardite, enhances nutrient uptake and photosynthetic capacity, providing key carbon derivatives for additional energy to optimize plant performance. This is complemented by TERRAMAR's marine-based technology (MBT), a formulation of biologically extracted kelp, which improves crop tolerance to abiotic stresses such as heat, cold, dry conditions and salt.

Multiple field trials validate the effectiveness of TERRAMAR as an in-season addition to foliar nutritional or crop protection programs in a wide variety of crops, including corn, soybeans, wheat, grain sorghum, cotton, alfalfa, lettuce, onions, potatoes and sugarcane.

TERRAMAR is available from Loveland Products through Nutrien Ag Solutions. 

Watch the webinar today to learn how TERRAMAR can help preserve yield potential through improved crop nutrient uptake and enhanced abiotic stress tolerance.

TITAN XC Improves Potato Yields in Idaho Trials
December 8, 2020 — Posted By Agricen

potatoes close upAt Nutrien Ag Solutions' Snake River Division in Idaho, Josh Perotto and his team have been looking at the benefits of treating dry fertilizer with TITAN XC in potato growing operations over the past two years.

In a split-farm trial harvested in 2020, the grower's potato yield was increased by +105.1 sacks per acre where his dry fertilizer had been treated with TITAN XC to maximize prill breakdown and nutrient release, as compared to yield where untreated dry fertilizer had been spread. There were also fewer culls (unmarketable potatoes) where TITAN XC had been used.

These potato yield results followed the team's findings from the 2019 season, where a split-field trial showed that potatoes grown with TITAN XC-treated dry fertilizer outyielded the untreated dry fertilizer by +19 sacks per acre (572 cwt/acre with TITAN XC vs 553 cwt/acre untreated).

Josh and his team also noted that they performed weekly tissue testing throughout the 2020 growing season and observed that potato plants grown with TITAN XC-treated dry fertilizer showed a trend toward higher tissue phosphate levels compared to the untreated dry fertilizer. 

In Idaho, high lime, high pH soils mean that soil phosphate deficiencies are not uncommon. This is because applied phosphorus will react with calcium in the soil, which makes the phosphorus insoluble and unavailable. By applying TITAN XC on dry fertilizer, growers can address this limitation and enhance the availability and uptake of phosphate and other nutrients from dry fertilizer. TITAN XC accelerates the breakdown of treated dry fertilizer and helps facilitate mineralization – the conversion of organic nutrients into inorganic, plant soluble, plant available forms. With more nutrients available, more nutrients can be captured by the plant, which can lead to significant yield benefits.

Accomplish LM Is a Great Fit for Potato Growers
August 14, 2019 — Posted By Agricen

We often focus on Accomplish LM in corn, soybean or wheat crops, but the benefits of Accomplish LM technology also extend to specialty crops like potatoes. A recent side by side comparison from a 2019 potato trial in Grafton, North Dakota shows earlier potato emergence and more robust plants when Accomplish LM has been added to the grower's standard potato fertilizer program. In this trial, Accomplish LM was applied at planting with 10-34-0, placed below the seed in a band.

This translates into yield benefits as well. In this 2018 potato trial from Bear Lake, Michigan, adding Accomplish LM to the grower's standard practice increased potato yield by 44.6 cwt per acre, with a return on investment of over $400 per acre to the grower.

Other trials similarly show that Accomplish LM is a great fit for growers who want to improve their potato yields. At nine sites that trialed Accomplish LM in potato planter bands from 2008-2012, adding Accomplish LM technology to the grower's standard fertilizer program led to an average potato yield increase of 25 cwt/acre compared to the grower's standard program alone.

We've also seen excellent results on seed potatoes and processing potatoes in Australia, showing the flexibility of this nutrient availability technology in different geographies.
