Why Carbon and Micronutrients Matter

Plant nutrition is about more than just nitrogen.

The Importance of Carbon

Carbon is critical for high-yield soybeans, often acting as a limiting factor because soybeans are more “carbon-starved” than corn. It powers photosynthesis, builds soil microbial health, balances the carbon-to-nitrogen ratio for better nitrogen fixation, and improves soil structure for water retention. While these benefits are especially important in high-yield soybeans, healthy soil biology and nutrient cycling are valuable across many crops, including corn, peanuts, alfalfa, wheat, tobacco, and turf.

Earthquake Liquid Humic provides concentrated humic substances designed to support these important soil functions. It can help improve soil structure, water-holding capacity, nutrient availability, root growth, and overall soil health throughout the growing season.

The Importance of Micronutrients

While carbon helps support the soil processes that drive crop performance, micronutrients help support the plant functions that drive growth and development.

Micronutrients are required in smaller amounts, but they play a critical role in plant growth and development.

Micro-N-Rich is a convenient way to deliver five essential micronutrients alongside a nitrogen carrier in a single application. The combination of boron, iron, manganese, molybdenum, and zinc supports key plant functions including photosynthesis, nutrient utilization, pollination, reproductive development, and overall plant health. The EDTA-chelated micronutrients are designed for maximum plant availability, while the nitrogen carrier helps move nutrients into the plant.

Whether applied in-furrow, with liquid nitrogen, or as part of a foliar program, Micro-N-Rich provides balanced micronutrient support for corn, soybeans, wheat, tobacco, peanuts, and other crops.

Improve Your Next Pass

While carbon helps support the soil processes that drive crop performance, micronutrients help support the plant functions that drive growth and development. Both products fit easily into many existing fertility, foliar, and spray programs, making it easy to support soil health and crop nutrition without adding another trip across the field.
