Nebraska | A couple questions for you:
I have been told if you have higher cec soil (15+) or higher organic matter (2.5+) humic won't show much without using way more than would be economically feasible. I assume they think there is plenty of humic type matter in a 20 cec soil that has 4% Om, so an application won't do much? Your thoughts?
Also heard to make a humic better, you raise the ph so that it will hold more humic content. The downfall is when that is mixed with something neutral or more acidic, that extra then falls out of suspension. Blackmax is noted for that right along with a few others I have used. I think you showed your product being an 8.6 ph, is that an issue you have when it gets tank mixed?
I assume between the strip till and planter use that you have done on your field that you have done a lot of side by sides. Across all of those side by sides what kind of yield bump are you seeing when you use the 5 gallons that you talk about?
You have talked about all of the nutrients that are freed up and more easily accessed by the plant. The theory being that you can use less fertilizer bc of this. While I agree that is a good thing, if there is no yield bump along with that, doesn't that just mean I'm giving $40 to a humic company instead of $40 to the fertilizer guy? Where does the farmer get ahead in that setup? | |
