Improving Corn Yields with Rainbow Plant Food
Did you know that a corn plant needs 13 different plant nutrients to grow to the right size and yield potential? It’s a small fact that can have a big impact.
To ensure that your corn crop grows to its full potential, it is imperative that you have a proper fertilizer program – and even more so in a dry year.
“When you have long dry spells, you want a fertilizer that’s going to break down rapidly, and we need a water-soluble fertilizer on our dryland crops,” explains Andy Bell, grower from Climax, Georgia. “For that very reason, we’ve been using Rainbow Plant Food fertilizer for a long, long time.”
Corn, like many other crops, needs a proper balance of nutrients to grow, especially with all the different hybrids that are currently available on the market. Every granule of Rainbow Plant Food has all of the essential ingredients needed to grow a healthy, profitable corn crop.
“We can go long stretches without any rain, and some of the blended products tend to not break down as fast as a homogenized fertilizer,” adds Bell. “It gives me huge peace of mind knowing that the minor elements are spread out all across the field evenly.”
A basic N-P-K combination is not enough to ensure you have a high-yielding corn crop. Unless a good available secondary and micronutrient source is supplied in your fertilizer, your corn crop may suffer. The best source for these nutrients is with a fertilizer that can give you uniform coverage in the fields, like Rainbow Plant Food.
Using Rainbow Plant Food means using a fertilizer that promotes crop health across the board.
