Benefit of Proper Nutrient Recommendations

Taralan MultiFactor™ System recommendations provide you with a site specific nutrient recommendation plan. By applying the proper amount of nutrients where they are needed you not only provide adequate nutrition to the plant but you reduce over application of fertilizer.

In providing proper nutrition to the plant you allow the plant to utilize what it needs to achieve proper growth. Running out of one nutrient too early may limit plant growth and not allow the plant to utilize the other nutrients you have applied. If that happens yields may be reduced and you are wasting money on fertilizer that is not being used.

Proper nutrition has it's benefits, the most obvious being increased yields. Some other benefits though are yield consistency and reduced loss during crop stress years.

Nutrition is only one part of the picture but it is something you can control. If those nutrients are there when needed, then when conditions are good the plant is not limited, or when conditions are bad the plant does not have to worry about where its next meal is coming from. The key is in having the proper amount and balance
