SOURCE® was used alongside a 40 lb reduction in nitrogen. The fields where SOURCE was applied showed double the root hairs and root mass, and crops were a full growth stage ahead of the control.
SOURCE was applied on corn alongside a 25 lb reduction in phosphorus. Greener, healthier, and more robust leaves are evident compared to the control on the right.
Using SOURCE® + BLUEPRINT™ resulted in a substantial increase in root mass and stalk diameter.
“We are dedicated to discovering new methods to help growers maintain productive agricultural systems in ways that are more profitable and better for the land,” said Adam Litle, CEO, Sound Agriculture. “This includes the launch of a new product, BLUEPRINT, that synergizes perfectly with our flagship product, SOURCE. By pairing these products with financial incentives that reward growers for adopting practices that are better for the planet, growers can save money while eliminating risk.”
Sound Agriculture’s Efficient Acre Solution
The Efficient Acre Solution was developed for growers interested in reducing fertilizer while tapping into new sources of income. By using SOURCE® to replace 25 lbs of nitrogen and/or phosphorus, growers can participate in the Efficient Acre Incentive. This program incentivizes farmers to reduce their reliance on synthetic fertilizers, while helping them manage the associated risks. The program includes:
- Financial Incentives: Corn growers can earn up to $10 per acre for replacing synthetic nutrients with SOURCE, available on up to 350,000 acres in 2024-25.
- Guaranteed Yield Protection: If yield is not maintained, Sound Agriculture will reimburse growers up to $100 per acre.
- Risk-Free Adoption: This program eliminates the financial risk of replacing synthetic fertilizer with SOURCE, encouraging growers to improve soil health and nutrient efficiency.
