Reliable Increases for Less with SUL4R-PLUS

When so much about your work environment is unreliable, you need to be able to rely completely on the few factors you do control. One of the most influential of these factors is the fertilizer you choose. Your fertilizer investment can make or break a season—so don’t leave your yields up to chance.

Over the last few years, we tested our SUL4R-PLUS fertilizer in several field trials to recreate the results we had seen in the past. We knew that farmers and producers needed more than just a chance at improved yields, the improvement needed to be reliable.

A reliable increase in yields is just what we saw, proven in the numbers. In our trials, honey crisp apples saw a yield of 40.4 tons per acre—that’s an extra 8.2 tons per acre! These apples also had decreased incident of bitter pit, increased fruit brix, and increased fruit pressure making them sweeter and easier to store than usual. They also saw increases in leaf nutrient content, showing that the additional nutrients available in SUL4R-PLUS fertilizer are found throughout the plant. Sugar beets also enjoyed an increase in yield of 2.7 tons per acre with increased sugar content as well.

Almonds had an increase in yield of approx. 300 lbs per acre and an increase in nut size thanks to SUL4R-PLUS fertilizer. Potato and tomato both had an increase in marketable yield, with an additional increase in storage quality for the potatoes, thanks to a 10% decrease in Hollow Heart and an increase in nutrient levels for the tomatoes.

With consistently reliable increases across all five types of crops, SUL4R-PLUS fertilizer once again proved its ability to produce higher yields no matter what nutrients your crops need. Its ability to support healthy growth in such a variety of crops is especially useful for farmers who have diversity in their fields.
