Amcol
Enersol LDG
Amcol Bio-Ag announces a major development in dry humic and fulvic acid application to crops. Made with highly concentrated leonardite from Amcol’s own mine in Gascoyne, N.D., LDG technology captures the full humic complex in a robust and virtually dust-free granule that quickly disintegrates and disperses in soil water. Recommended in-furrow rate is 50 pounds per acre; the product can also be blended uniformly with dry fertilizers for even distribution in the field when broadcast, placed in-furrow or side dressed. Each application delivers a powerful dose of humic fulvic acid at 70 percent that is proven to increase saleable potato yield by over 10 percent while reducing culls by 25 percent.
Each application of Enersol LDG improves soil health by increasing organic matter content, CEC, water holding capacity and micronutrient (Fe, Mn, Cu, Zn, Ca and S) availability.
ESN
Smart Nitrogen
www.smartnitrogen.com
Nitrogen (N) is one of the most important nutrients in potato production. Yield is reduced if N is in short supply, and N management is extremely important. Nitrogen is the No. 1 grower controllable factor in producing quality potatoes. ESN is the logical nitrogen management option for potato production because the controlled-release technology ensures that N is available when the plants need it most.
ESN’s flexible polymer coating allows moisture to diffuse into the ESN granule, creating a nitrogen solution. The solution moves out through the membrane at a rate controlled by soil temperature. ESN is designed to release 80 percent or more of its nitrogen from 60 to 90 days, increasing nitrogen availability as plant demand increases. ESN’s controlled release eliminates the need for a side-dress or foliar application and provides sustained nitrogen through the period of peak demand without promoting late-season leaf growth.
ESN significantly reduces the risk of nitrogen loss through leaching, volatilization and denitrification, providing substantial benefits to the environment.

Compass Minerals, the leading producer of specialty potash fertilizer in North America, introduces Protassium+, the company’s newly branded sulfate of potash (also known as K2SO4).
Protassium+ is a premium, high-quality source of potassium with sulfate sulfur that provides superior plant and crop nutrition that top growers demand. In addition, Protassium+ is backed by the technical expertise of manufacturer Compass Minerals (formerly known as Great Salt Lake Minerals), which has more than four decades of experience in providing the highest quality plant nutrition products available on the market.
As the only manufacturer of sulfate of potash in North America, Compass Minerals has long been a leader in plant nutrition. Today, the company is seeking ways to broaden its product portfolio in order to help crop growers maximize yields and quality while improving plant health and value. As part of that strategy, Compass Minerals recently acquired Wolf Trax, a Canadian-based producer of micronutrients. This move positions Compass Minerals for future growth with new products and technologies that serve more crop segments and geographies.

YaraLiva Tropicote and CN 9 are fast-acting liquid nitrate nitrogen sources with water-soluble calcium. Potato fertilization with water-soluble calcium reduces bruising during harvest, tuber imperfections and storage rot. Calcium even influences tuber size and number. Yield-robbing heat stress during vegetative growth is mitigated with Tropicote and CN 9 application.
YaraLiva CAN-17 (17-0-0-8.8Ca) is a nonhazardous liquid mixture of ammonium nitrate and calcium nitrate. CAN-17 and CN 9 provide the best fertigation sources after row closure and during tuber bulking.
YaraMila 15-15-15 is a homogenous prilled nonhazardous NPK containing ammonium nitrate and potassium sulfate. It is an excellent base dressing or side dressing for potatoes.
YaraVera Amidas (40-0-0 5.5S) is a new homogeneous fertilizer containing urea and ammonium sulfate in one granule. The nitrogen-to-sulfur ratio is 7:1, which is optimal for plant amino acid and protein production. It has a high crushing strength that makes it ideal for blending.
YaraVita is Yara’s full line of micronutrients and chelates. YaraVita products include liquids, suspension concentrates, soluble powders, and wettable powders to match up with almost any application method.
Grower’s Source
Overhaul, N-Keeper
www.growerssource.com
Overhaul is a proven technology in soil detoxification. Overhaul is a soil detoxifier that dramatically remediates sodium levels and has proven to make potassium 90 percent more available and phosphorus 48 percent more available. Utilizing Overhaul in an agricultural soil health program can increase nitrogen efficiency by up to one-third. Overhaul increases biological activity to help break up compacted layers and drastically increase the development of the plant above and below the surface.
N-Keeper is designed and formulated to penetrate the toughest soils and drive moisture down into the subsurface, allowing it to be utilized during those times when upper layers of soil become dry and unproductive. Grower’s Source’s co-polymer wetting agent allows the water being held in suspension to be wicked up into the rooting zone along with the nutrients that have been made readily available by the N-Keeper complex of specialty enzymes. This retains nitrogen in the rooting zone, which prevents unwanted leaching and runoff.
Maz-Zee S.A. International
Penatron Soil Conditioner
For the past 20 years Penatron—with 30 synergistic components—has proven to increase yield and quality. It has root growth stimulators, desert plant wetting agents, hormones for stress and disease resistance, soil structure builders and other beneficial components.
Penatron reduces hot, dry, cold and wet weather stresses. It stimulates root growth with auxins and hormones. Penatron increases water infiltration that reduces water usage by 10 to 15percent, which reduces pumping expense.
It stimulates soil microbes to improve soil structure and water-holding capacity. Fewer clods and dirt are therefore found at harvest. Replicated tests show an average increase of 45 cwt. per acre with more No. 1 potatoes.
The Penatron bottom line is higher yields and better quality.
