Midwestern BioAg launched TerraNu? fertilizers in 2017. TerraNu? “delivers key crop nutrients in a carbon matrix, supply the benefits of manure in a uniform, granulated fertilizer.?
Rob Warren serves Midwestern BioAg as wholesale manager for the Midwest region. Warren describes TerraNu? as revolutionary, noting it is nothing like other fertilizer products.
?The thing about commercial fertilizers is you’re feeding the plant and providing micro-nutrients on a carrier that provides no value to neither the plant nor organisms in the soil. ?What?s different about TerraNu? is we?re taking the same plant nutrition, but formulating on a carbon base. We?re not only feeding the plant, but we?re also feeding the soil biology through the addition of carbon into the soil profile,” Warren said.
Midwestern BioAg prides TerraNu? fertilizers for their biological and microbial benefits.
?Our manufacturing plant is connected to the largest dairy in North America – Fair Oaks in Indiana,” Warren said. “We?re basically taking cake. The cake is comprised of bug bodies, for lack of better term. The thing about this is the nutrients we?re infusing into the carbon base are basically held in this organic matter. Although we do get some release due to normal rainfall and moisture in the soil, the primary way it is released is when it goes through a consumption cycle with soil microbes.”
TerraNu? fertilizers can be used in custom dry machines and strip-till machines. Warren says Midwestern BioAg has seen an excellent yield return from the homogenous granules in both corn and soybeans.
?Probably the big thing I noticed, from taking tissue samples, was more nutrients within the plants. It?s an impressive thing to see – The use efficiency of not only what we?re putting in TerraNu, but other nutrients in dry fertilizers you?re supplying the plant with. We?re getting making everything more available, getting more into the plant and that?s the bottomline,? Warren said.
