Miller - Model STN - Nitro Injection Toolbar
The Miller Nitro Injection Toolbar is designed for precision application of liquid fertilizer directly into the root zones between crop rows, crucial for optimizing crop yield and health. Equipped with a Quick-Attach system, it allows rapid transitions from spraying to fertilizing, thereby enhancing operational efficiency in the field. It supports split nutrient applications, which improve nitrogen uptake during critical growth stages and reduces the risks of leaching, volatilization, and leaf burning associated with more conventional methods. The design includes 20-inch Clymer blades, diaphragm check valves, halogen field lights, and electric ball valves, ensuring robust and precise operation. Models are available with various row spacings, including 12-row, 16-row, and 24-row configurations, to suit different field requirements. The mechanism prevents fertilizer loss due to volatilization or surface residue tie-up, minimizing environmental impact, and adjusts nutrient supply based on growing conditions to manage input costs more effectively. The stainless steel and poly depth band components reduce wear and soil buildup, enhancing the durability and reliability of the toolbar in rigorous agricultural operations.Fuel the growth
With the Miller Injection Toolbar, you'll be able to fuel the growth of your crop by injecting fertilizer between the rows into the root zone where you need it when you need it most.
FEED YOUR CORN
FEED YOUR CORN, WHERE IT NEEDS IT, WHEN IT NEEDS IT MOST
The Miller Injection Toolbar allows for precision application of liquid fertilizer between the corn rows, into the root zones, exactly where the corn needs it most.
A Miller Injection Toolbar allows you to fuel the growth of corn, applying liquid N just before the maximum uptake occurs. The majority of uptake occurs between the 6-8 leaf stage and tasseling. Nitrogen should be applied in 3-4 to 6-8 leaf stage to ensure it is readily available during the critical growth period to follow.
Feed the critical growth stage. To nurture the crop along, an injection of fertilizer from emergence to 6-8 leaf stage will assist the starter fertilizer in maximizing the ear girth. In fact, the majority of N uptake occurs between V8 and the tassel stage. Applying all of the required fertilizer pre-plant or at planting increases the risk of loss through leaching, leaving the plant in a yield-robbing state of N deficiency. Leaching is also an environmental concern, particularly for lakes, rivers, and streams, which you can minimize through properly timed injection applications.
Unlike broadcasting liquid or dry fertilizer, or applying NH3, soil incorporation of liquid N with a coulter into the soil will prevent burning of the crop by eliminating leaf contact, and potential vapor damage of leaves and roots from NH3.
Ground applied liquid fertilizer is at risk of loss due to volatilization. Without a sufficient rainfall, 30% may be lost within 2 weeks of the application. Nutrients may also be tied up in surface residue.
Adjust and increase application rates if conditions are favorable. Or, in poor growing conditions, forego the cost of needlessly applying expensive fertilizer.
