3 components for powerful synergy

These results are from Pima cotton grown near Deming, NM.

Blocks yielded between 3 and 5.5 bales per acre. The average yield was 4.2 bales per acre.


This nutrition program takes a systems approach, where 3 critical components are implemented:

  • Biology
  • Food source for the Biology
  • Carbon-complexed nutrients

This system creates a powerful synergy in the soil environment. The biology provide efficient nutrient delivery. Food sources for the biology ensure that there is energy for the microbes to utilize. Carbon-complexed nutrients are more biologically friendly, more resistant to leaching and tie-up, and achieve greater efficiency rates.

The nutrition program included sap testing at critical growth stages to monitor nutrient levels and respond to crop need accordingly.

A carbon-based starter fertilizer was used pre-plant. Foliar applications were applied per sap analysis results.

Total Nutrition cost per acre was $380.00, which was easily recovered with the yields produced.
