Building an Effective Fertilization Program Around Science-Based Nutrition and the 5Rs
Understanding your crop’s needs and asking the right questions are critical to developing an effective vegetable nutrition program. Vegetable growers obviously understand the importance of effective nutritional applications to produce maximum marketable yield, but many growers’ nutrition programs miss the mark because their program doesn’t adequately address all the components that drive a Science-Based Nutritional […]
Want the Highest Consistent Yielding Almonds?
Maximizing profitability in your almond orchard starts with maximizing nut set every year. Achieving consistency in set and minimizing alternate bearing cycles is the key to consistent yields and higher profits. The secret is ensuring the tree has the right nutrients at the right time in the right forms and right mix. Nut set can be influenced by boron which [...]
Growers Say KDL® Helps Defang Jack Frost’s Bite
Cold Climate grape cultivars are helping growers build a robust wine and tourism industry across many states, but this is a viticulture that requires a well-planned strategy for frost protection. Whether the frost arrives late in the spring as it did in 2012 or early in the fall as in 2011, growers know the risk is there. Each year more growers [...]
Get a Jump on Frost with KDL
How can KDL help protect or minimize frost damage? During spring, as plants begin to grow new green tissue, the demand for nitrogen is at its greatest. At this stage the nitrogen to potassium ratio favors nitrogen. During the fall, as fruit ripens and plants begin to “harden off” and prepare for winter, the demand [...]
Help Ensure Your Grape Crop Makes Great Wine.
Properly timed applications of Agro-K’s KDL® 0-0-24, can dramatically enhance brix, color development, and uniform maturity in all grapes. Increasing brix and color can improve juice phenolic compound levels resulting in measurable increased wine quality. KDL’s unique formulation links potassium to a sugar complex that can quickly penetrate plant tissue – encouraging sugar development in the leaf and transport into the [...]
Sysstem® VT powered by Symspray
Sysstem® VT is a specialty formulated foliar fertilizer containing potassium, calcium, magnesium in a phosphite form as well as boron all powered by Symspray® to help maximize grain fill and mitigate heat or plant stress. Sysstem® VT is designed for pre-tassel use on corn and pre or early bloom on other crops to meet the peak nutrient demand timing [...]
Quality & Yield From Sysstem- SeaCal
Calcium is a critical nutrient in growing quality fruit and vegetables. Getting calcium into the crop during the fruit “cell-division” window is the key to improving crop quality, marketable pack-out and grower profitability. Maximizing calcium levels in the fruit will improve cell wall thickness leading to improved skin appearance, transportability and shelf-life. Every crop is different, but supporting each crop’s peak demand timing [...]
Hull Split and Post Harvest Sprays Sysstem® Series Late Season NutBuilder Nutrient Program.
The best time to nutritionally impact next years almond crop is Hull Split and/or Post Harvest application timings. Many almond growers with late varieties or early leaf drop and/or who rely on custom spray application often find post harvest applications difficult logistically. Now growers have new stronger nutritional tools to make the Hull Split application just as effective [...]
BioMax – Helping Nature Work
BioMax is one of the best, most efficient ways to improve soil biology and root environment. BioMax improves soil function in all cropping systems resulting in better root and plant health and increased soil nutrient efficiency. BioMax is a soil biological stimulator that increases aerobic bacteria (vs. anaerobic) and beneficial fungi, such as ycorrhizae. BioMax contains specific food sources, […]
BioMax – Better Soils, Better Fruits and Vegetables
BioMax is the best, most efficient way to improve soil biology and root environment. BioMax improves soil function in all cropping systems resulting in better root and plant health and increased soil nutrient efficiency. BioMax increases beneficial microbial populations after fumigation and can be used for better establishment of new perennial crops. If increased soil health and resulting improvement in crop performance is what you need […]

Eliminate Your Crop Residue Problems Turn Years Into Months
Bio-Mulch accelerates crop residue break down and increases nutrient cycling and nutrient availability in the soil. Bio-Mulch is specifically designed to reduce crop residue build-up on the soil surface resulting in improved planting, seed placement and germination. How Does Bio-Mulch Work? Bio-Mulch is a unique blend of nutrients and fermentation enzymes designed to increase existing local populations of cellulose […]
Increasing Marketable Potato Yield and Internal Quality
KThe field on the left was treated with two quarts per acre of Sysstem-Ready. The field on the right is an untreated control plot showing signs of distress and a slower row close. It takes countless hours of research and continuous trial work to get the right potato nutrition regimen in place. Growers want proof. [...]
Reducing the Risk of Bitter Pit in Honeycrisp Apples
Honeycrisp apples are the hardest to grow and the most prone to difficulties. Bitter pit, a disorder most commonly linked to calcium deficiencies in the fruit, is one of those difficulties. And it can happen to anybody. It’s endemic to the Honeycrisp variety and growers are paying more attention to the risk factors that impact […]
Farmers boost days of corn stubble grazing for cattle with Bio-Mulch
Here’s something to ruminate on. Near Scottsbluff, Nebraska a farmer-rancher found over the last winter that his cattle preferred grazing Bio-Mulch™ 7-0-0 treated corn stubble so much that for a remarkably long time they wouldn’t even bother with the neighbor’s untreated half-pivot. And consider the production economics that resulted. The cattle required less supplemental feed […]
Increase Nut Quality and Yield by Improving Late Season Nutrient Uptake and Root Health with BioMax™ Dual Action +

Agro-K Corporation’s new BioMax™ Dual Action + feeds and activates native beneficial bacteria and fungi to make more soil nutrients plant-available and grower investment […]
Develop effective nutrient plans to maximize fruit size and shelf life for blueberries and cane berries
Blueberry and cane berry growers who recognize the importance of the period just beyond fruit set and at the beginning of cell division have a chance to really enhance their upcoming yields. It is the period of time where individual cells in the fruit divide rapidly. This 3-4 week window is one of the most [...]
