Foliars that fit
MFA offers its own Gold Advantage foliar micronutrients tailored to the needs of row-crop farmers. These precision foliar products are designed to help farmers achieve high yields for corn, soybeans and small grains. Foliar fertilizer applications are intended to be a complement to a comprehensive soil fertility program.
Gold Advantage Trend-B provides serious results. This foliar-fed, slow-release nitrogen is combined with boron to provide targeted nutrition when the plant needs it the most. Trend-B works in synergy with fungicide to promote plant growth and stress tolerance, resulting in more gain with higher N efficiency. The benefits of fungicide are proven, but adding more nitrogen over the top provides an even better return. Trend-B not only adds the small amount of available N necessary to help a fungicide improve plant performance, but it also helps maintain optimal boron nutrition, which is often needed late in the season. Unlike many plant nutrients, boron is very mobile in the soil but not in the plant. Adding boron to a foliar application reduces its need to move from the soil through the plant. Trend-B contains:
NITROGEN (N)
- Essential for plant growth, development and reproduction
- Needed throughout the growth cycle, especially from V8-VT
- Increases duration of photosynthesis
- Critical for kernel development and ear-fill
BORON (B)
- Essential for the growth of pollen tubes
- Critical for seed and cell wall formation
- Promotes maturity
- Necessary for sugar translocation
Gold Advantage Complete is a foliar micronutrient package designed for high-yield soybean, corn and small grain production. Gold Advantage Complete can be combined with a foliar fungicide application, an insecticide application or a tank mix of both. The correct timing of this prescription nutrition package will let your crops express their full genetic potential. Gold Advantage Complete contains:
BORON (B)
- Essential for the growth of pollen tubes
- Critical for seed and cell wall formation
- Promotes maturity
- Necessary for sugar translocation
MANGANESE (Mn)
- Aids in chlorophyll synthesis
- Increases the availability of P and Ca
- Serves as an activator for at least 35 different enzymes
MOLYBDENUM (Mo)
- Required to form the enzyme which converts N in the plant to a useable form
- Aids in the formation of legume nodules
- Aids in the conversion of P in the plant to a more useable form
ZINC (Zn)
- Aids plant growth hormones and enzyme systems
- Necessary for carbohydrate and starch formation
- Aids in the formation of seed IRON (Fe)
- Promotes the formation of chlorophyll
- Acts as an oxygen carrier
- Critical in the reactions involving cell division and elongation
SULFUR (S)
- Integral part of amino acids
- Helps develop enzymes and vitamins
- Promotes nodule formation on legumes
- Helps in chlorophyll formation
- Aids in seed production
