Microbials

Prime Dirt is exploring a new frontier in maximizing crop production: soil fertility at the biological level. Observing that increased diversity of the biome can improve uptake efficiency and increase crop productivity, Prime Dirt developed N-TEXX, an all-natural liquid soil inoculant that contains a broad spectrum of soil bacteria.

Why microbials with N-TEXX SI and N-TEXX Edge?

Improved soil health and tilth
Improved nutrient cycling and efficiency for greater yields
Improved yields, protein levels and test weights
Healthier plants have less disease pressure and more efficient on water needs
Improved ROI on nutrient investment through improved crop yields
Improved soil biological activity improves soil health and crop yields

Pasture Management

Protect, preserve and conserve: the land and your business. Pasture is your lowest-cost feed source. When weeds and brush get in the way, you need solutions.

- Aerial applications can allow early application of trusted herbicides to your pasture. Choose from Tordon 22K, 2, 4-D Amine, GrazonNext HL or Escort XP. Contact your strategic account manager of nearest MKC location for more information.

- MKC's investment in Rantizo Drones will allow for liquid and dry fertilizer to be spread via drone. This allows for more precise application in areas large spray rigs can't get to. These drones are still in the developmental stage and are not ready for commercial use. Learn more here.

Wheat Fungicides

A fungicide is an agent that destroys fungi or inhibits their growth. Fungicides are needed to control a disease during the establishment and development of a crop, to increase productivity of a crop, and to improve the storage life and quality of harvested material. Ag professionals and farmers alike are starting to see fungicides resulting in higher yields, even in the absence of disease. Fungicides promote healthier plants through growth efficiency, disease control and stress mitigation.

For wheat, MKC is focusing on the products Absolute Maxx, Topguard, Prosaro and Stratego YLD.
