TSM® Micro-Boost is a brand new liquid micronutrient product. Dealers and farmers have occasionally asked us if we have liquid micronutrients since these fit better in their systems. Well, now we do. The Micro-Boost increases yields on both corn and soybeans. We are seeing a 13 bu/acre increase on corn and a 5 bu/acre increase on soybeans. And the beauty of this product is that it can be applied with fertilizers or herbicides before planting or it can be mixed with foliarly applied post herbicides. The product comes in two forms, the Pre-Mix contains sulfur, but the Base-Mix does not. If you are using ammonium sulfate with your herbicides you can use the Base-Mix at one quart/acre. |
