Drive Crops Forward
with Starter Fertilizer

Getting crops off to a strong start is key to optimizing potential yield and profit. To protect crop vitality throughout the growing season, providing sufficient nutrients is essential from day one.

As you make final preparations for planting, consider the benefits of pop-up starter fertilizers. Balanced starters work to drive crops forward through accelerated germination, uniform emergence, enhanced root development, increased plant vigor, and improved stress tolerance. Pop-Up starter fertilizers can be an important tool for growers, especially when planting in cold, wet soil conditions.

Why Use Starter Fertilizer?

EVEN EMERGENCE
Accelerated and uniform emergence is commonly observed after starter fertilizer applications because seeds receive direct access to key nutrients. This leads to a better crop stand, which helps maximize yield potential.
INCREASED PLANT GROWTH

Starter applications promote crop growth because a plant-available supply of nutrients is easily accessible to a seedling’s limited root system. Strong seedlings set the table for a strong crop.

ENHANCED ROOT DEVELOPMENT

Cold soils hinder root growth, reducing the plant’s ability to absorb nutrients. Starter fertilizers offer a higher concentration of critical nutrients available in the root zone at planting, which helps establish strong and healthy root systems. With greater root growth, stalk strength is improved and lodging is reduced later in the season.

IMPROVED VIGOR & STRESS TOLERANCE

To maximize yield potential, you must minimize stress. Adequate and balanced nutrition allows young plants to overcome abiotic stress and adverse growing conditions from start to finish.
