Right Source

Right Source means ensuring a balanced supply of essential nutrients, considering both naturally available sources and characteristics of specific products in plant-available forms. Working from a foundation of decades of research, farmers know what nutrients the crop needs. Soil analysis tells the farmer what nutrients are present and available in the soil, and additional nutrients will be needed to maximize crop yields. Nutrient management plans will help a farmer select the right balance of nitrogen, phosphate and potassium as well as secondary and micronutrient needs.
