X-Tend B

Background Enhanced Efficiency Fertilizer (EEF) additives can improve crop production. Humates have been shown to improve crop yield. The Huma® EEF additive X-Tend® B is a concentrated Micro Carbon Technology® product derived from humates with high levels of organic acids and nutrients that is formulated to be blended in liquid fertilizers or to be impregnated...

Objective  To demonstrate the effects of Huma® products X-Tend®, Fertil Humus®, Fertil Soil®, and Zap® on the reduction of nitrogen and phosphorus leaching in Immokalee sandy soils.  Background  The leaching of nitrogen and phosphate fertilizers presents an ongoing problem in Florida soils. Agricultural amendments that reduce leaching when applied to soils or when mixed with...

Objective  Determine the effect on barley yield of adding Huma® X-Tend® B to split applications of different rates of nitrogen fertilizer.  Background  Enhanced Efficiency Fertilizer (EEF) additives improve crop production. Humates have been shown to improve crop yield. The Huma® EEF additive X-Tend® B is a concentrated Micro Carbon Technology® product with high levels of...

Introduction  Nitrogen loss through volatilization begins to occur immediately after application unless the urea is stabilized. Agrotain® has been the industry standard for urea stabilization. In 2011, at Shoffner Farm Research, a trial was established to compare Agrotain® and the Huma® product X-Tend® to increase nitrogen use efficiency and rice yield (using the CL 151...
