SOURCE - Performance Optimizer
The Performance Optimizer uses soil pH, organic matter (OM), and cation exchange capacity (CEC) to predict performance. Finally, a tool that can help you prioritize where to use a product for the best outcome. We’re taking out the guesswork to make application more precise than ever before.
By entering pH, organic matter, and CEC for a field, we can determine performance outcome for SOURCE Corn.
- Excellent Performance: 8+ bu/acre
- Strong Performance: 4 – 8 bu/acre
- Limited Performance: <4 bu/acre
pH: Variability in soil pH can cause nutrient tie-up, especially in phosphorus. SOURCE has strong performance potential in a low pH environment where phosphate typically gets tied-up with aluminum.
OM: A higher percent of organic matter in the soil leads to more mineralization, an important process for providing in-season plant available nutrients. SOURCE performs best in lower OM environments where the soil is less capable of supplying nutrients.
CEC: The cation exchange capacity of the soil indicates its ability to hold nutrients, especially nitrogen. Lower CEC soils tend to lose more nitrogen to environmental factors, and are ideal candidates for SOURCE. Predictions are most accurate for soils with CEC of 0 – 30.
The interaction of these variables is complex and conditional on one another. Having one value outside of the ideal range doesn’t necessarily prevent a positive result, so we encourage you to enter in data for a few fields as long as at least one of the above variables lines up with your soil characteristics.
Tank mix compatible
Easy to add to your tank with herbicides and fungicides. There’s no need to make an additional trip into the field.
Low use rate foliar spray
Less than 1 fluid ounce per acre. One gallon covers 183 acres of land.
Flexible application window
Choose the best application time for your fields. SOURCE Corn can be applied from V4 — R3 to provide nutrients when they are most needed.
