The new system allows farmers to apply both dry and liquid fertilizer in a single pass, giving them the freedom to source products from any retailer or supplier.
“Ultimately, good nitrogen management is about adapting, both to your field’s characteristics and to the season’s unpredictability,” says Bill Long, Pioneer field agronomist.
Corteva Agriscience partnered with Dan Quinn, assistant professor of agronomy at Purdue University, to perform several trials of Instinct NXTGEN nitrogen (N) stabilizer. Trial objectives were to gather data on corn yield, plant N uptake and soil N availability on plots that received N treated with Instinct versus plots that were left untreated by Instinct.
The company says in a press release it has established and patented improved formulations to improve applications onto fertilizers, allowing room for other technologies during the retail coating process. The formulations are also designed for application for extreme cold and high humidity environments.
Determining the amount of supplemental nitrogen, if any, that is needed after saturated soil conditions is a difficult question to answer. Soil conditions such as texture, temperature, and length of saturation plus nitrogen application factors timing, placement, source, inhibitors used along with the growth stage of corn which impacts the amount of N already taken up, affect the decision to apply additional N.
“No-Till is not a machine, not a crop and not residue. Instead, no-till is a combination of all the critical things you need to produce the best crop with the least cost and the most sustainability. That’s been our farm goal for the past quarter century.”
No-tillers with certain soil types and weather challenges may find ESN’s technology is a good fit for raising high-yielding, profitable corn while protecting their ‘N’ investment.
