Farming Video | Can Corn Handle 30 Less Units of Nitrogen?

13 Aug 26

Mother Nature changed the plan on Heath Huisinga’s N-FINITY corn trial, so instead of going in-furrow, it ended up going out through the Y-drop. The bigger twist? They also pulled 30 units of UAN 32 out of the program.

5+ Years - Grower Standard Practice

00:00 Pete Thuesen Get out here with XtremeAg, and I have Jeremy Lewis with Loveland Products, and we're going over our Agrason Infinity corn plot. 00:00:08 And if you guys remember from the previous video, we had originally slated for this product to go in-furrow, and Mother Nature said that wasn't going to happen, so 00:00:15 we ended up Y-dropping it onto this field. Now, whenever we Y-dropped it on here, we still use our grower's standard practice, but we cut back on 30 units of nitrogen in the form of 00:00:26 UAN 32. And in addition to adding the Infinity to that, we're seeing some really great stuff. Jeremy and I just got done walking the field. We were sopping wet. 00:00:36 It's early in the morning, dew, pollen everywhere, so we're heavily in pollination right now. But I want to go ahead and turn this over to Jeremy, and 00:00:43 he'll hit on some of the product high-level notes of Infinity. Yeah. So Infinity is a newer product from Loveland Products, 00:00:51 and it's a nitrogen-fixing product where we actually fix nitrogen from the soil microbes. We recruit those microbes that have been dormant 00:00:59 and bring them back into play as well. And then we free up some of that free nitrogen that's found roaming around in the soil and allow those microbes to consume it. It actually stimulates that. 00:01:08 So it is a biological that allows us to do it. This, unlike some other nitrogen-fixing products, it can't be harmed or hindered or inhibited by a salty nitrogen 00:01:18 fertilizer. So it's a new three-mode of action nitrogen-fixing product that we're looking at and overall trying to reduce total synthetic nitrogen in the plant, but yet keep the same type of yield 00:01:30 that we expect from nitrogen and corn alone. Yeah, absolutely. And Jeremy hit on a great point there. Nitrogen conversion efficiency is our number one goal here. 00:01:38 And just looking at the plants, I can't see a nitrogen efficiency- No 00:01:42 ... in either plant, despite cutting that out. And I really do think Jeremy had his LeafTech scanner here. I think we're seeing better conversion in the Infinity check, but we're going to 00:01:51 pull a sap here, and we'll revisit this in a couple of weeks to confirm. But overall, I'm really excited to see how this goes. 00:01:58 Yeah. They both look really healthy, but my money's on the Infinity right now just for that conversion non-bottleneck factor, but we'll stay tuned and see what 40 00:02:06.040 --> 00:02:06.380
