When proper soil structure is addressed, then the task is to awaken the microbial life of the soil through application of GroZyme. The Ohio State University's research has shown GroZyme causes the soil to become more active and allows for the release of NPK from parent material. GroZyme also enhances the root system, causing greater absorption of nutrients.

When the soil is treated as a living system, it accepts other nutrients more readily, particularly if they are presented at planting time. Often, fall and even spring applications of anhydrous ammonia have virtually disappeared by planting time. As a result, the developing plant lacks the critical protein-producing nitrogen needed for the kernel to fill after pollination.

In many cases just knowing how to properly apply nitrogen and herbicides can immediately save growers $40-50/acre, while later improving yields. Specially formulated P & K are also critical for maximizing kernel numbers and need to be applied to the seed at planting time.

Finally, Purdue University research has revealed how critical it is that hybrids are selected based on their response to nitrogen timing and potassium uptake. Ag Spectrum takes advantage of this type of practical research to make grower-specific recommendations.
