X-Tend

Background X-Tend® mixed with other fertilizers applied to specific crops has enhanced results with improved plant growth and higher yields. Combining X-Tend® with grower standard products applied to soil and when applied as a single product foliar application could also impact results. Objective The focus of this study was to observe if X-Tend® as a...

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...

Background  Humates and plant growth stimulators can positively influence a crop such as sugar cane to produce a higher yield.  Objective  The focus of this study was to observe how fall application of Huma® products Fertil Soil®, a source of soil nutrients and humates, and Breakout®, which stimulates growth, would affect sugar cane production. The...

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...
