The purpose of this study is to evaluate various starter additive products, applied in-furrow, and their effects on yield and profitability.

2018 Indiana Corn Starter Additive Study - In-Furrow

2-YEAR STARTER ADDITIVE RETURN ON INVESTMENT

Beneficial microbial activity, or lack thereof, can greatly impact nutrient availability. The various products tested in this study include specific strains of microbes that are designed to enhance the naturally occurring biology that is already present in soils. After two years of testing, NanoZyme 2.0, a combination of specifically cultured microbes, minerals, and humic acids, has proven beneficial in our soils at the Indiana PFR site.
