Galynn Beer, vice president of global sales for Tidal Grow, says the current dynamics in agriculture bring opportunity to think about fertilizer differently. Tidal Grow is bringing crop fertility products to the market to elevate yields and solve for environmental loss and sustainability.
“At Tidal Grow, we recognize the ag economy is ever-changing, and it’s always going to have its up and down cycles,” Beer says. “But one thing we always want to do is provide the growers with tools to help navigate whatever climate we’re in.”
He says in this current downturn, Tidal Grow is launching a product to help achieve that goal, particularly when it comes to nitrogen. Tidal Grow alignN 18-0-0 is an encapsulated urea nitrogen product. It’s formulated with the company’s align Technology, which uses intelligent leaf delivery technology.
“This makes it more effective to get into the leaf, and it makes it more effective once it’s in that leaf,” Beer says.
This foliar applied nitrogen is marketed to supplement a farmer’s nitrogen program and be a tool for when environmental and growing conditions develop through the season. Beer says this product is a fit for farmers who want to give a crop a strong finish.
“You don’t really know what’s Mother Nature going to throw at us over the course of the season,” Beer says. “So as that farmer steps through the season, he can see what the crop looks like it, how Mother Nature has been treating the crop, and he can hold some of that expense, or hold some of his cards until he gets even all the way to tasseling. And then he can say, ‘I love how the season has played out, I love how it’s ending here, I’m going to push that crop to the end.’ And that’s the tool that we’re bringing to the grower.”
Beer says the efficient delivery of the nitrogen into the plant is a hallmark of the align technology. And he says in today’s economic equation for inputs, farmers know it’s paramount to stay focused on nutrient use efficiency.
