Getting More With Less - Maximizing Fertilizer Efficiencies

About Presenter

David Tysdal has been involved with bringing new and innovative technology to growers for the past 35 years.  David has been on the leading edge of bringing growers production improvements starting with the introduction of Treflan to Western Canada, Hybrid canola seed and now innovations in fertilizer efficiencies.  His focus has always been on demonstrating how new products can have an immediate positive impact on the producers bottom line.  His hands' on approach and personal farm experience with the products he represents has earned him trust and credibility in the farming industry and brings direct value to growers with his insightful presentations.

 

About The Presentation

Alpine’s Phazed Nutrition Program will demonstrate how growers can reduce the risk of variable weather conditions by managing the efficient use of crop nutrition products to maximize net profits. By strategically using soil and tissue analysis growers can plan a crop nutrition program to maximize efficiencies and increase crop returns.

 Key to the program is the use of Alpine liquid starter fertilizer. This low rate, available form of phosphate with micronutrients encourages early emergence and robust root development even under cold dry conditions.  Learn how the proper placement of phosphate in the seed furrow increases crop returns. Growers are able to free up air cart space and seed more acres per day by utilizing this high quality, non corrosive liquid starter fertilizer. The application system for Alpine starter fertilizer is the ideal mechanism for conveniently adding any additional micronutrients identified from a soil analysis to correct deficiencies.

The next phaze targets nutrition to plant requirements at the critical vegetative and reproductive stages which generally corresponds to timing for herbicide and fungicide applications. Foliar applications of fertilizer can range from 4-100 times more efficient than a soil application. By combining the application with a crop protection product growers receive application cost savings as well as efficient use of their time and fertilizer dollar. Alpine has a family of controlled release nitrogen products, phosphate, sulphur, potassium, and micronutrients to choose from to enhance crop production. The proper use of these products can: correct nutrient deficiencies as determined from soil or tissue tests, strengthen damaged crops, speed growth, and stimulate root uptake of nutrients.
