Nutra-Flo has fertilizers specific for each crop

Mar 16, 2015

Available for corn, soybean, wheat and cotton

With new technology, seed varieties and other tools being developed for precision farming and agriculture, it is slowly turning from a practice to an art form.

Farmers, like painters, must use the proper brushes, tools and paint combinations on different parts of their canvas to bring them to life.

Nutra-Flo from North Sioux City, South Dakota, introduced its RoMax Performance Series, a line of fertilizers designed for the specific crop the farmer is planting. The products are available for corn, soybean, cotton and wheat.

“Our team of expert agronomists created these platforms of N-P-K and micronutrients based on proven crop response,” said Jason Glover, Nutra-Flo Director of Product Development in a press release.

“Complex interactions between N-P-K and micronutrients ensure essential crop functions take place throughout early development, and early development leads to yield gains.”

RoMax wheat is designed to enhance the early season growth and promote root systems that can withstand drought and winter kill. It encourages tillering, improves early season growth which also allows for more grazing potential and can improve water usage and nitrogen efficiency.

RoMax wheat also comes with a guaranteed analysis based on an application rate of 4 – 10 gallons per acre:

Total Nitrogen (N) ........................................9.0%

Available Phosphate (P2 O5 ) .................... 24.0%

Soluble Potash (K2 O) ....................................3.0%

Copper (Cu) .................................................. 0.08%

Manganese (Mn) ........................................ 0.08%

Zinc (Zn) ........................................................ 0.05%

Join the discussion. Is RoMax something you might consider using for your wheat or other crops?

Video: Sweetener Effects on Gut Health - Dr. Kwangwook Kim

In this episode of The Swine Nutrition Blackbelt Podcast, Dr. Kwangwook Kim, Assistant Professor at Michigan State University, discusses the use of non-nutritive sweeteners in nursery pig diets. He explains how sucralose and neotame influence feed intake, gut health, metabolism, and the frequency of diarrhea compared to antibiotics. The conversation highlights mechanisms beyond palatability, including hormone signaling and nutrient transport. Listen now on all major platforms!

“Receptors responsible for sweet taste are present not only in the mouth but also along the intestinal tract.”

Meet the guest: Dr. Kwangwook Kim / kwangwook-kim is an Assistant Professor at Michigan State University, specializing in swine nutrition and feed additives under disease challenge models. He earned his M.S. and Ph.D. in Animal Sciences from the University of California, Davis, where he focused on intestinal health and metabolic responses in pigs. His research evaluates alternatives to antibiotics, targeting gut health and performance in nursery pigs.
