Precision Laboratories
today announced a new product to help growers produce a better
cereal crop by utilizing unused phosphorous in the soil.
“Enrich gives growers advantages because it works in a variety
of soil conditions,” says Terry Culp, vice president of Seed
Enhancements and Nutrients for Precision. “Yield data has
demonstrated a seven percent advantage of Enrich treated seed in
medium to high production environments over untreated seed. Our
research has shown that Enrich consistently increases root mass
for improved nutrient uptake, averaging a 25% increase.
Additionally we’ve seen an eight percent or greater increase in
plant tillering.”
Enrich is a specific strain of pseudomonas that has a
significant need for phosphorous. To satisfy its own need for
phosphorous the bacteria produces an organic acid to solubolize
inorganic phosphate, and it also generates an enzyme to enhance
availability of organic phosphate. By creating an environment to
feed its own needs for phosphorous, the bacteria increases the
amount of phosphorous in the soil solution available for plant
utilization.
“Enrich employs a biological solution to the challenge growers
face to generate the maximum return from soil applied phosphate
fertilizer and to get full utilization of organic phosphate from
plant residues. Our goal is to employ the techniques used in
nature for plant health and growth promotion for commercial
agriculture,” adds Culp.
“The tag line ‘Natural Nutrition’ was chosen to define exactly
what the product is and how it works,” says Richard Wohlner,
president of Precision Laboratories. “Enrich is yet another
product innovation designed to help growers and retailers
increase their value and lower risk with technologies that
deliver performance, while remaining stewards of the
environment.”
