“My neighbors have had issues with hard ground, and not being able to get into the fields with machinery, but I never had that issue since using Bio-Cal. Over the years my soil has increased, my yields have gone up, and moisture has been absorbed better.”

Bio-Cal® or OrganiCal™

Best to apply at pre-plant or fall, at the recommended application rate of 500-1,000 Lbs/A, and must be bulk spread.

Loyal to Your Soil Benefits:

1. Increase forage quality through improved nutrient uptake with soluble calcium.
2. Soluble calcium increases potassium and sulfur availability.
3. An additional benefit includes an increase to soil flocculation to improve soil structure and reduce compaction.

Bio-Gel® RootSurge®

At an application rate of 2 Qt/A, apply with high quality liquid starter or as standalone starter. Ideal application is better at pre-emerge and side dress. Application is best when applied at plant. Applying product at the vegetative state is good, but to avoid application at the reproduction stage.

Loyal to Your Soil Benefits:

1. An increase in water holding capacity to lesson stress in water limited situations.
2. Increases in root mass that improves overall plant health and increased stress management.
3. Increased soil organic carbon levels that lead to more efficient nutrient efficiency
4. Stimulates soil biology by feeding native populations or biological products combine with Bio-Gel.

Bio-Gel® NSurge

At an application rate of 2 Qts/A with UAN, it is best to apply at plant or side dress, and better to apply at pre-emerge. Applying at the vegetative state is good, but it is recommended to avoid applying at reproduction.

Loyal to Your Soil Benefits:

1. Increase nitrogen availability and efficiency by reducing nitrate leaching and ammonia volatilization
2. Improves water use efficiency
3. Preventing nutrient tie-up through increased nutrient use efficiency.

TerraNu® P-Base

At an application rate of between 50-150 Lbs/A, place as close to root zone as possible (thru-strip-till machine or air-seeder), it is best to apply at plant, and better to apply at pre-plant. Applying at top dress and fall is good.

Loyal to Your Soil Benefits:

1. Through the combination of manure based carbon mixed minerals it reduces typical phosphorus tie-up
2. Increases soil organic carbon and native soil biology. 15-20% of total product is carbon
3. Increase nutrient use efficiency with 12 vital minerals in a homogenized form.

TerraNu® K+

At an application rate of between 30-150 Lbs/A (30 Lbs/A Max for in-furrow) it is best to apply at plant, better to apply at pre-plant, and good to apply at both top dress and fall.

Loyal to Your Soil Benefits:

1. Manure carbon-based buffer salts to support soil biology.
2. Improves potassium efficiency by improving water management and preventing potassium tie-up
3. Increases soil organic carbon and native soil biology
4. Increases nutrient use efficiency

TerraNu® MicroCaSH

At an application rate of 25-75 Lbs/A it is best to apply at plant, but better to apply at pre-plant. It is good to apply at top dress and fall, as well.

Loyal to Your Soil Benefits:

1. Increases micronutrient use efficiency through nutrients being in a homogenized form
2. Increased micronutrient use efficiency with increased number of fertilizer granules per square foot due to lighter bulk density
3. Increases soil organic carbon and native soil biology. 15-20% of total product is carbon.
