How important are sulfur applications to soybean yield? This is a question we hear often. In fact, we talk a lot about sulfur. Sulfur applications have become much more prominent in the past few years. In fact, it may be a nutrient we need to consider with the same level of importance as N, P and K.

Sulfur plays an extremely important role in nitrogen fixation in the soil. In a test at the North Central Research Station in 2020, the addition of sulfur from several different sources generated a positive ROI across the entire trial.

Some of the key takeaways from this trial:

• Adding an application of sulfur generated a positive yield response across the entire experiment
• A Y-drop application of 2 gallons of accesS increased soybean yield by 3.7 per acre
• A Y-drop application of CalSip at R2 increased yield 3.2 bushels per acre

Extend your UAN by adding eNhance

ENhance is a sulfur-based additive for UAN solutions designed to enhance the uptake and efficiency of applied nitrogen. When mixed with UAN*, total nitrogen applications can be reduced by 20%.

Average of 47 trials, 2001-2021

AgroLiquid has years of research to back performance in both corn and wheat. Multiple trials have shown the addition of eNhance with an 80% N use rate will provide similar yield response as UAN alone at 100% N use rate.

 

Average of 20 trials, 2004-2019

In addition to yield performance, the return on nitrogen dollar invested is greater with UAN + eNhance compared to UAN alone.

*Mix rate of 2 gal/ton of 28% UAN or 2.25 gal/ton of 32% UAN

Deliver Consistent Nitrogen

ENhance builds off of the Nutriq Technology we use to deliver a consistent macronutrient supply. The plant-based polymer chain allows the nutrients to be slowly released alongside nitrogen fertilizers, creating the perfect recipe for the highest level of nitrogen utilization.

ENhance is designed to be used with other nitrogen fertilizers. To make this as easy as possible, we made it simple to apply and combine with other fertilizers. Apply eNhance at the same time you apply your primary nitrogen fertilizer, and watch your crops thrive.

You Can Increase Yield With Just 4 gal/A of accesS®

We talk a lot about sulfur. In fact, it may be a nutrient we need to consider with the same level of importance as N, P and K (although I would argue all nutrients are important, especially in a balance – but that’s a topic for another day).

Sulfur also happens to be a nutrient that you need to increase corn yield. But how do you get that needed sulfur???

The addition of accesS is research-proven to regularly increase yield when soil test Sulfur is low. And it’s easy. Look at the multi-year test results in a corn-soybean rotation.

The AgroLiquid base program (left bars for each year) include Pro-Germinator® + Sure-K® + Micro 500®. The right-side bar for each year shows what adding four gal/A of accesS to a nitrogen sidedress application did for yields.

The four year average yield increase was 12.3 bu/A.
