DuPont Pioneer launches Encirca Yield Fertility Management Service

DuPont Pioneer recently launched its new Encirca Yield Fertility Management Service, a tool for maximizing production within growers’ existing fertility budgets by creating precise input modeling for phosphorus, potassium and lime.

The service also allows growers to make real-time modifications to fertility plans based on their field- and zone- specific nutrient needs, fertilizer budgets, and yield goals.

Managing phosphorus, potassium and lime can boost the plant’s photosynthetic capabilities, help plants resist drought, improve soil pH balance and enhance overall plant quality. The product provides new insights into these major nutrients that can have a significant impact on profitability each season.

Growers also can use the service to model different application scenarios and see the results in real time in order to optimize the allocation of their nutrient budget by generating customized fertility plans for similarly grouped land parcels.

“Nutrient applications are a significant investment for growers each season, and a single rate approach to fulfill crop nutrient needs across an entire field often leaves yield or money on the table,” Steve Reno, DuPont Pioneer vice president and regional director for the U.S. and Canada, said. “By utilizing the Encirca Yield Fertility Management Service, growers can see the precise impact different input levels have on both fertility and cost on a per-acre basis.”
