CSAs and other highly diversified vegetable operations need a flexible program that allows the fertilization of multiple crops with widely varying nutritional needs without too complicated of a system. Our diverse vegetable program provides this flexibility through our complete line of CSA fertilizers. The products in our CSA program meet all NOP guidelines for use on organic farms.
About Our Program
As a producer, our program will help to improve your soil quality and feed your crop its specific nutritional needs with the highest quality products that will not cause root damage and will help you achieve maximum production.
Soil Balancing
Midwestern BioAg’s soil balancing program starts with a soil test. From the soil test we create a plan for how to balance your soils that will help ensure that your plants will be growing in an optimal environment and will be able to reap the maximum benefits from a fertilization program.
Crop Fertilization
- Balance: A fertilizer should have a balance of nutrients needed for optimum plant growth, yield and feed quality beyond NPK. It should include calcium, sulfur, trace minerals, plus some carbon and sugar to feed the soil microbes and make nutrients more available to the plant.
- Soluble to slow release: Most fertilizers are highly soluble, which gives the plant a quick charge but then becomes deficient later when the plant needs the most nutrients. By balancing soluble to slow release, the plant receives adequate nutrients throughout the growing season.
- pH: When the pH is within a range of 5.5 to 6.5, nutrients are more available to the plant with less chance of being tied up in the soil. A lower pH fertilizer also creates availability of other nutrients for greater uptake in the root zone of the plant.
- Non-Harmful: A fertilizer should be gentle on the soil, roots and soil microbes. By keeping chloride and ammonia to a minimum and supplying root and biological stimulants, you can have a positive effect on yield.
