Nutrient Management and Hybrid Planning
| By Pat Schaddel |
Nutrient management planning and hybrid planning are key steps to cultivating a successful season. Brandt brings the power of information and technology to the fields by partnering with our growers. As we move toward the turbulent waters of this year, Brandt has new programs to help smooth those waters. |
One of those premier products showcased this fall is Nutrazone®. This program combines all the attributes pertaining to nutrient plant health into an easy to use, efficient web-based system. It starts with a GPS soil test and incorporates soil textures, logged entry data, and several other proprietary technologies developed by Brandt Ag Specialists. It works through each field to establish a balanced nutrient efficiency plan for nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, lime and micronutrients, thus increasing yields and precisely applying your input dollars. In order to be prepared for fall 2009, it is very important to schedule your soil testing for the spring season to avoid unnecessary application delays. |
Another outstanding custom built product for release in spring 2009 is Seed Rx. With today’s advancing genetics your operation’s profitability relies heavily on proper selection and placement of hybrids. The Seed Rx system matches population and genetics to the soil productivity within a field. Brandt utilizes aptitude, equipment and years of data mining expertise to build seeding recommendations that place hybrids in the proper zones maximizing the true yield potential of field fertility levels, drainage conditions, soil textures and mineralization. In addition, Brandt offers Precision® Planting planter calibration with their MeterMax® Plus system. Brandt’s Research Farm shows definite advantages to having your planter correctly calibrated. Accurate spacing of seeds has greatly increased yield time and time again. Seed Rx combined with a properly calibrated planter makes for a winning combination. |
In just one meeting with your Brandt Trusted Advisor you can build a plan on each field for nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, lime, hybrid/variety recommendations, seeding rate recommendations, micronutrients and much, much more.
