2018 Central Illinois Corn Starter Additive Study - In-Furrow

2-YEAR MICROCARB ZMB™ RETURN ON INVESTMENT

The addition of infurrow applications of starter additives can provide early-season nutrition, enhance soil microbial activity, and has the potential to increase nutrient availability, root growth, early-season crop growth, and yield. In 2018, all the products tested provided yield increases and positive returns on investment. Our two-year data shows that MicroCarb ZMB™, when combined with 5 gal./A. of PureGrade® Diamond 6-24-6 starter fertilizer, has been a highperforming product mix. MicroCarb ZMB contains zinc, manganese, and boron as well as a fulvic acid and a soil microbial enhancer.
