Cereal

Learn about the essential nutrients required by cereal crops throughout the growing season and how you can use plant nutrition and biostimulants to maximize the genetic potential of your cereal crop.


What are the nutritional requirements of a cereal crop?

Watch the video to learn about what nutrients are required by a cereal crop and the best times to apply them.

Essential nutrition for cereal crops

Essential nutrition for cereal can be divided into four key stages. Preventing a nutrient deficiency at each of these stages is crucial for preserving the genetic potential of the crop and maximizing yield potential. Use the tabs below to learn about the key nutrients required for each stage:

How much nutrition does your crop need?


Use our crop uptake and removal calculator to determine how much of each nutrient is required for your targeted yield.


System of Chemtrition

Developed in the lab and perfected in the field, the Chemtrition three-stage system works in tandem with your seed treatment, herbicide, and fungicide plan to deliver essential nutrients throughout the plant’s life cycle. Release the genetic potential of your crop through a proactive, balanced nutrient plan and get the most out of every acre.

PreCede

+ Seed Protectant

Rate: 3.0 L/MT    Timing: Seed

  • Drive lateral rooting with the optimal ratio of manganese and copper.
  • Increase root development and eliminate carbohydrate root exudation with the addition of zinc.
  • Enhance early season photosynthesis and overall plant health with the addition of phosphorus.
  • Drive root development and address abiotic stress (cold soils) with the addition of key
  • Synergistic impact to rooting when combined with seed protection products to improve overall plant health. 
  •  

ReLeaf

+ Herbicide

Rate: 1.0 L/ac    Timing: Foliar

  • Enhance rooting and improve nutrient uptake with the addition of phosphorus.
  • Manganese applied to balance phosphorus loading to drive rooting and photosynthesis.
  • Increase lignin strength and photosynthetic efficiency with supplementary copper and zinc
  • Drive sugar movement and proper cell wall integrity with potassium.
  • Drive nutrient uptake and efficiency by the plant with key biostimulants 

42PHI

+ Fungicide

Rate: 0.5-1.0 L/ac    Timing: Foliar

Wheat cirlce - Stage 3
  • Enhance nutrient uptake and synergy with fungicides with the optimum load of phosphorus.
  • Increase lignin strength and pollen viability with the addition of copper.
  • Ensure the movement of carbohydrates and sugars to the reproductive parts of the plant by optimizing levels of potassium and magnesium

Proven Agronomic Performance

Field trials conducted in North America proved the synergistic effects of the System of Chemtrition in Wheat, showing an average increase of 20% in Wheat yield.
