Keeping Crops on Track with TERRAMAR & RADIATE After Cool Conditions
June 5, 2025 — Posted By Agricen

Terramar-Radiate_Cool_ConditionsThis spring, many growing areas of the United States are coming off an extended period of cooler-than-normal temperatures. This makes it an ideal time for post applications of TERRAMAR and RADIATE to get the crop back on track. 

Cooler conditions slow plant photosynthesis and physiological functions, which leads to slower crop growth and development. TERRAMAR helps in this scenario because it increases the rate of photosynthesis, chlorophyll production and water transpiration, leading to increased nutrient levels in the plant. RADIATE is also useful here, since RADIATE enhances root development, increasing the plant's ability to access nutrients and moisture.


TERRAMAR: Learnings from Advanced Agrilytics' Corn Trials

During the 2024 season, Advanced Agrilytics evaluated TERRAMAR on ten farms across Iowa, Illinois, Indiana and Ohio to look at nutrient uptake and crop performance metrics. On all farms, TERRAMAR was foliar-applied on V6 corn at a rate of 1 quart/acre and compared to the grower's standard practice alone (no TERRAMAR treatment).

What were some of the key findings?

  • TERRAMAR increased nutrient levels in the treated corn plants. With a foliar application of TERRAMAR, crop uptake of both nitrogen and phosphorus was increased compared to the untreated plants. At R1, nitrogen was increased in over 50% of samples compared to the controls, while phosphorus was increased in nearly 80% of the samples. Higher levels of total plant nitrogen and phosphorus are indications of TERRAMAR’s ability to make nutrients more available to the plant and convert the starches, sugar and carbohydrates needed for yield.

  • TERRAMAR increased sucrose concentration in the treated corn plants. Sucrose levels in the plant at R1 are the most reliable predictor of yield capacity. Sucrose in the stalk is essentially the fuel reserve that the plant has to draw from to fill kernels. A V6 application of TERRAMAR led to increased R1 sucrose levels in 75% of the samples compared to the controls. Further, when there was a PRE application of EXTRACT followed by TERRAMAR, sucrose was increased 100% of the time.

  • TERRAMAR provided yield benefits in both water-limited and stable environments. The greatest yield advantage (69% positive outcomes) was seen in water-limited environments.

A Note on Soybeans

In soybeans, there has been minimal plant growth in the last two to three weeks due to cooler conditions. TERRAMAR can be applied to soybeans to increase the uptake of a broad range of nutrients, including potassium, which is vital for starch and protein formation and can help regulate the stomata as temperatures increase in June. By applying TERRAMAR to their crop, soybean growers have the opportunity to boost plant development for quicker row closure and create more plant mass to support the upcoming reproductive stage.

[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.

[Interview] A New Advancement in Sustainable Nitrogen Management
April 9, 2025 — Posted By Agricen

nfinity-wityAgricen’s Scott Lay sat with Dennis Michelsen of WITY Radio to discuss a new sustainable nitrogen management tool, N-FINITY, and how it can help growers improve nitrogen use efficiency.

Dennis - WITY Radio: When prices are low, you need more bushels. I think that's what N-FINITY is going to help folks do.

Scott - Agricen: For any farmer, once you say the word “nitrogen,” you have their attention. In terms of a fertility investment, nitrogen is the largest line item. To grow an acre of corn with today's prices, a farmer is looking at spending somewhere in the range of $100 to $130 per acre on nitrogen.

N-FINITY, which we started developing in 2020, is now available from Loveland Products through Nutrien Ag Solutions retail locations. It is a biological technology that enhances nitrogen use efficiency by making naturally occurring forms of nitrogen more available to the crop so that we're not as dependent on synthetic forms of nitrogen.

Dennis - WITY Radio: By using a product like this, you are helping to be a good neighbor on the environmental side, but it’s also helping the farmer, because if you lose nitrogen out of the tiles, that nitrogen isn't doing you any good.

Scott - Agricen: The yardstick we will use to measure the effectiveness of N-FINITY is “What are the pounds of applied nitrogen per bushel?” If a grower is at one pound of applied nitrogen per bushel of yield, our objective is to make that more efficient, to lower the amount of applied nitrogen needed to produce a bushel.

One way to do that is to increase yield by providing more natural nitrogen to the crop. The second, in cases where it makes sense, is to responsibly reduce the amount of applied synthetic nitrogen by a modest amount, perhaps anywhere from 5 to 20 percent. In either scenario, N-FINITY can help deliver a better return on investment and a better result environmentally for the farmer.

Dennis - WITY Radio: While N-FINITY is new to farmers this year, it has been tested. Have you found that it works better with certain types of fertilizer programs?

Scott - Agricen: We've designed it to be compatible with farmers’ real practices. At planting, N-FINITY can be applied in furrow or two by two. As the season progresses, it can be applied with a liquid sidedress or Y drop nitrogen application.

Many sustainable nitrogen management technologies that have been introduced over the last few years utilize one mode of action, which is fixing atmospheric nitrogen. With N-FINITY, we have three modes of action so that we can provide even more biological forms of nitrogen to the plant. N-FINITY not only fixes atmospheric nitrogen like other technologies, it also liberates organic pools of nitrogen found in the soil and it helps recruit native nitrogen-fixing microbes in the soil into the plant.

Further, N-FINITY works in both a full nitrogen rate regime and in a regime where a modest reduction of nitrogen is employed, which reduces the cost outlay for synthetic nitrogen and helps to offset the investment in N-FINITY. We think that's a win-win situation for the grower.

Dennis - WITY Radio: Nitrogen can be finicky. Do you know how N-FINITY is going to work in really dry or wet conditions?

Scott - Agricen: Over the last two years, we've had the opportunity to observe N-FINITY in 344 different field environments in replicated and split-farm trials in corn, soybeans and wheat. The performance has been very consistent across a wide range of weather circumstances and growing environments. The average yield response has been +7.9 bushels an acre.

Dennis - WITY Radio: What type of ROI are you seeing?

Scott - Agricen: As I look at today's prices, December corn is recorded at $4.50 a bushel. Stating the obvious, it will be challenging to make money in corn. However, with that nearly eight-bushel average yield response with N-FINITY, we’re seeing a positive ROI of about three to one.

N-FINITY is available from Nutrien Ag Solutions.

[Interview] Every Dollar Counts on the Farm
December 5, 2024 — Posted By Agricen

Wity-radio-down-on-farmAgricen’s Scott Lay sat with Dennis Michelsen of WITY Radio to discuss where TITAN XC and EXTRACT PBA fit into fall practices, and how they can help farmers ensure that every dollar they spend on fertility inputs makes a bigger impact.

Dennis - WITY Radio: With the excellent yields that we've had the last few years, agronomists I’ve talked to say that we've taken more nutrients out of the soil than ever before, and that it's important to recharge those nutrients this fall.

Scott - Agricen: When yields are removed, nutrients are also removed from the soil profile, so it's important to replenish those. It also makes sense to utilize technologies that increase the availability of the nutrients that you've paid for. In a year like this one, with commodity prices diminished 15 to 20% relative to a year ago, every dollar counts. Given the economic scenario, the question of how to increase the amount of nutrients available to the crop next spring and summer becomes even more important.

Dennis - WITY Radio: Some local producers have told me “The only way I can make money this year is by growing more bushels.” So it doesn't really pay to cut back on your dry fertilizer game plan unless you can use a technology like TITAN XC to help you get more out of the dry fertilizers you're already applying.

Scott - Agricen: That's correct. We've had TITAN XC on the market since 2013. It’s a complement to traditional fertility practices. This fall, TITAN XC was applied on its 100 millionth-acre since introduction. With TITAN XC on dry fertilizer, we have a number of university studies that indicate we're increasing the first-year availability of phosphorus by 15 to 20% and potash by about 10%. So the value is there.

When you treat dry fertilizer with TITAN XC, the average yield response in corn is just over 10 bushels per acre, and the average yield response in soybeans is four bushels. So the economics are very consistent. TITAN XC proves itself again and again.

Dennis - WITY Radio: Tell folks how EXTRACT works.

Scott - Agricen: EXTRACT is a liquid product combining the power of our biochemistry components and ammonium thiosulfate. We created it to accelerate nutrient mineralization and release in the soil—release of those nutrients that are already there, perhaps bound to the soil colloid—and also to enhance crop residue breakdown.

If we are applying EXTRACT in a broadcast application with a fall herbicide or in the spring with a broadcast application of a pre herbicide, we're able to increase the mineralization or release of nutrients in the soil while also, if it's in a minimum till situation, enhancing the breakdown of crop residue and getting that residue into more of a plant-available form more quickly.

Initially EXTRACT was targeted more towards the corn acre. We've had great success with it on corn, but as time has passed, we probably treat almost as many acres of soybeans with EXTRACT as we do corn.

Dennis - WITY Radio: When I look at data on TITAN XC and EXTRACT, I see a lot of the third-party and university data from Illinois.

Scott - Agricen: We’ve worked with the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign since 2012, and have done trials with Purdue and many other institutions as well as on-farm split-field trials where we can evaluate how the technology performs in a range of conditions. Whether we're talking about EXTRACT as a broadcast application or TITAN XC impregnated on dry fertilizer, those yield results have been pretty consistent.

TITAN XC and EXTRACT are available from Nutrien Ag Solutions.

[Interview] Protecting Existing Crop Yield Potential from Heat Stress
July 31, 2024 — Posted By Agricen

Wity-radio-down-on-farmAs we progress through the reproductive stage of the growing season, many growers have reason for optimism in terms of yield. But, even for those who are having a good year so far, stress from excess heat can have a negative impact on the crop. Agricen’s Scott Lay sat with Dennis Michelsen of WITY Radio to discuss how TERRAMAR can be applied with fungicide to help protect existing yield potential from heat and other weather-related stress.

Dennis - WITY Radio: It’s been a weird year with the weather. I believe all of those different weather factors are adding to crop stress, and we've already had a prolonged period of hot nights.

Scott - Agricen: In the summer months, heat will happen in every zip code, in every crop. It's a matter of trying to protect the yield potential that exists. With TERRAMAR, we have a technology that can help minimize the impact of heat stress on a crop. It’s a good day for a crop if you can minimize the temperature within the crop canopy. What we're seeing in a number of replicated trials is that we can reduce the crop canopy temperature by two to four degrees Fahrenheit with TERRAMAR.

Dennis - WITY Radio: We know we're going to get more heat going forward. How much benefit is there to applying TERRAMAR with fungicides?

Scott - Agricen: Let's review the negative detriments of heat on a crop. We know it impacts the ability of that plant to photosynthesize and to transpire water, and we know that it affects the plant's ability to mobilize nutrients into the plant and fill grain. So, if we can minimize that canopy temperature by two to four degrees with TERRAMAR, that's a positive. Secondarily, if we can increase the amount of nutrient uptake or movement in that plant, that's also a positive. We have documented a nutrient increase in tissue samples in the range of 10 to 15% with TERRAMAR.

Dennis - WITY Radio: Does that translate to yield?

Scott - Agricen: More often than not, it does. But more importantly, at each stage of the game, including the reproductive stage where we are today, we're attempting to increase the amount of nutrients available for that plant—to move starches and sugars to form that grain. If we can do that, we have a better opportunity to yield.

Dennis - WITY Radio: If you look at our weather this year, we had a lot of different weather conditions – from really wet to really dry, and with wind and hail damage in some parts. Now we take that already stressed-out corn, and we add more heat. Is there a cumulative effect of stress on a plant?

Scott - Agricen: I think there is a compounding effect. As we reach the critical reproductive stage, whether it be in corn, soybeans or perhaps other crops, fungicides are often applied to minimize the impact of disease, and that's a step in the right direction. But for factors brought about by the weather, TERRAMAR, in concert with a fungicide, provides a synergistic effect. If we can minimize the impact of a disease like tar spot, gray leaf spot or northern corn leaf blight with a fungicide, while also minimizing the canopy temperature of the crop with TERRAMAR to increase photosynthesis and nutrient uptake, the cumulative effect is positive. We're attempting to preserve yield potential, and we believe that's our best opportunity to do so.

Dennis - WITY Radio: With grain prices where they are, a producer I spoke to recently said he is changing his strategy this year to ensure he can get every additional bushel, because he needs that to make money this year.

Scott - Agricen: Corn and soybean commodity prices are not what they were a year ago, and certainly not what we would like them to be. The only other lever that can be pulled to impact net farm income is the yield. Again, we're not going to increase yield at this point. We're simply trying to preserve what yield potential exists. So if the crop is worth investing in to preserve yield potential, fungicide plus TERRAMAR gives a very consistent payback in terms of return on investment.

[Corn Trial] Lower Canopy Temperatures & Greater Nutrient Uptake with TERRAMAR
May 20, 2024 — Posted By Agricen

By Jeremiah Butler, Agricen

Early in the summer of 2023, widespread nutrient deficiencies were observed in the Corn Belt, particularly potassium (K) deficiency in corn. Due in large part to drier-than-average early season growing conditions, abiotic stress—or stress from environmental conditions—was more prevalent, impacting crop physiological development and reducing nutrient uptake during a critical phase.

Beginning in mid-June, a number of crop consultants were reporting an interesting phenomenon. Corn fields treated with a foliar application of TERRAMAR in the V3-V7 growth stage visually appeared to be healthier and were not exhibiting the same level of K deficiency symptoms as untreated corn.

As a result of these observations, trials were conducted on later-planted corn in Minnesota and Michigan, and on a soybean field in Indiana to evaluate the impact of a V4 application of TERRAMAR on nutrient uptake and abiotic stress reduction. Corn nutrient demand significantly increases after the V4 window to produce a healthy, high-yielding crop.

In the Minnesota trial, a foliar application of TERRAMAR (1 quart/acre) was made at V4, followed by rigorous tissue sampling to determine nutrient uptake levels of treated versus untreated plants. A total of 135 tissue samples were taken at the V9 growth stage (10 days after application) hourly over a 12-hour period (7 am to 7 pm). In addition, leaf surface temperature readings of treated and untreated plants were taken to evaluate canopy temperatures. Higher ambient air temperatures during the trial period were an indication that the corn crop was experiencing moderate heat stress.

Compared to the untreated corn, TERRAMAR increased the uptake of the majority of nutrients into the corn leaf tissue (Fig. 1). Potassium uptake was particularly notable, showing a 38% increase compared to the untreated corn.Terramar-tissue-samples-1200px

Fig. 1. Percent increase in micro- and macronutrients in corn tissue with TERRAMAR treatment versus untreated. Samples taken 10 days after foliar application of TERRAMAR.

Leaf canopy temperature was also notably reduced in corn that had been sprayed with TERRAMAR compared to the untreated corn (Fig. 2). Lower leaf temperatures indicate that the plants were under less stress and were therefore able to more efficiently perform physiologic functions such as transpiration and photosynthesis.

Terramar-tissue-temp-1200pxFig. 2. Tissue temperature in the leaf canopy of corn plants treated with TERRAMAR versus untreated. Temperatures taken using thermal camera 10 days after foliar application of TERRAMAR.

At harvest, the TERRAMAR treatment was associated with a yield advantage of +11.2 bushels/acre compared to the untreated corn (165.8 bu/a vs 154.6 bu/a, respectively).

These results are in line with prior research demonstrating TERRAMAR’s consistency in reducing stress from abiotic factors (e.g., heat, drought, salinity, wind, hail and wet environments) at any given time in the growing season following a foliar application.

While stress mitigation significantly contributes to the product’s performance, more recent research indicates that a foliar application of TERRAMAR also increases nutrient uptake (documented by leaf tissue tests in both stressed and non-stressed environments), nitrate assimilation, carbon fixation, and photosynthetic capacity. These benefits add value by providing more efficient nutrient uptake during the crop’s critical demand windows.

Every growing season creates a different set of challenges, but some things remain constant. Globally, 50% to 70% of crop yield is lost to abiotic stress factors. Taking measures to reduce the impact of abiotic stress and increase nutrient uptake throughout the growing season with new technologies like TERRAMAR provides growers a fighting chance to add more to their bottom line across a range of crops.

[Interview] Addressing Weather-Induced Crop Stress
May 13, 2024 — Posted By Agricen

Wity-radio-down on farmAs growers finish putting this year’s crop in the ground, Agricen’s Scott Lay spoke with WITY Radio’s Dennis Michelsen about TERRAMAR, a foliar product designed to help crops increase nutrient uptake and better tolerate weather-induced stress.

Dennis - WITY Radio: It’s impossible to predict the weather long term, but we know that something will always put our crop under stress every growing season. Would it be fair to say that the main reason a producer would want to add TERRAMAR to their lineup is to reduce stress?

Scott - Agricen: That is the essence of it. Weather-induced stress is one of the greatest yield robbers that farmers face. Up until this point, short of going to church on Sunday and praying for more moderate temperatures and rain, there's not been a heck of a lot we could do to address stress.

TERRAMAR was new to the row crop market last year, during which nearly 2M acres were treated. It does two things. One, it has a biologically extracted kelp component that minimizes the effects of weather-related stress, such as heat, drought or early season cold. Secondly, it has a biologically extracted carbon component that stimulates the plant to pull in more nutrients to aid in chlorophyll production and photosynthetic capacity, as well as increase carbon fixation in the plant. In this way, TERRAMAR provides a one-two punch that equals a better chance for yield at harvest time.

Dennis - WITY Radio: How and when is this product applied?

Scott - Agricen: TERRAMAR is designed for post-emergent foliar application throughout the growing season. It can go out early in the vegetative stages with a post-emergent herbicide in advance of the stresses that will present themselves to the crop. Then, as we get into the reproductive stages where a fungicide is often applied for the purpose of minimizing the impact of disease, a dose of TERRAMAR at that time will carry on for at least two to four weeks to minimize the impact of weather-induced stress.

We can measure this by canopy temperature. Last year, we did a number of trials across Indiana, Michigan and Minnesota to quantify the impact of TERRAMAR on canopy temperature in both corn and soybeans. Throughout the course of a July day, we saw that the canopy temperature of plants treated with TERRAMAR was 3°F to 5°F lower compared to untreated.

If you can lower the canopy temperature, that plant will be more efficient in reproducing and filling.

Dennis - WITY Radio: That's the key, Scott, because we always think about drought as a big stressor of crops, but we also get those hot nights where the temperature doesn't drop much below 75°F. That plant needs all the help it can get to stay out of stress, or we're losing bushels.

Scott - Agricen: That is absolutely correct. Heat happens in every zip code and every crop, every year. If we can moderate the temperature of the canopy, we're minimizing the impact of heat. It's not a replacement for a 60° F night. But if we can minimize the impact of those warm July and August evenings and give that plant a better chance to photosynthesize and to transpire water and nutrients, again that correlates very nicely to better yield potential.

Dennis - WITY Radio: What's the ROI that we can expect?

Scott - Agricen: In third-party university trials and farmer-conducted side by sides, we’ve found that the average response is 7 to 10 bushels in corn, 4 to 7 bushels in soybeans and 5 to 8 bushels in wheat. All told, regardless of crop, the average is a 3 or 4:1 return on investment. So for every dollar invested in TERRAMAR, a farmer could expect a $3 to $4 return as a result of an increased yield result.

TERRAMAR is available from Nutrien Ag Solutions.

Terramar-piano_graph 2019-2023

 

What are the key benefits of TERRAMAR for row crops?
TERRAMAR sets a new standard in stress mitigation and plant performance. Foliar application of TERRAMAR improves abiotic stress tolerance (e.g. heat, cold, drought) at various stages of plant growth. Visible improvements in stressed crops can often be observed several days after application. Additionally, increased nutrient use efficiency has been documented when TERRAMAR is applied in conjunction with a foliar nutrition program.

How is TERRAMAR applied?
TERRAMAR is recommended for liquid foliar applications in row crops to enhance plant performance while minimizing weather-induced stress. Foliar applications deliver TERRAMAR's unique set of highly active, metabolite-based compounds for quicker absorption through the plant leaf tissue. The recommended rate for TERRAMAR is 1 quart per acre. It is compatible with a broad range of liquid fertilizers, insecticides, herbicides and fungicides for maximum application flexibility.

When should TERRAMAR be applied?
TERRAMAR can be applied in early post-emergent applications as well as mid- to late-season fungicide applications.

Should I apply TERRAMAR even if I am not anticipating severe crop stress?
Yes. TERRAMAR can optimize plant performance in all growing conditions, whether they are stressful conditions in which crop development could be impacted or average to ideal conditions in which crops have the best chance of reaching their yield potential.
