The Importance of Corn and Soybeans
Corn and soybeans are among the most critical crops in the agricultural industry. For farmers, especially those in the United States, these crops represent a considerable portion of their yield. Maintaining and enhancing the productivity of these crops during the fall season can be challenging. AgriTec International’s liquid soil amendments and fertilizers offer solutions that not only optimize crop yield but also improve soil health. Fall is a pivotal time for highlighting the importance of corn and soybeans, and ensuring that crops receive the essential nutrients and minerals. nitrogen , potassium, magnesium, zinc, and calcium are all key to a bountiful harvest.
AgriTec Helps Corn & Soybeans
Fall marks a significant phase for corn and soybean farmers. Corn, being a nitrogen -intensive crop, requires a consistent supply of nutrients as it matures and prepares for harvest. Though they fix nitrogen in the soil, soybeans need minerals like potassium and magnesium to develop strong pods and healthy seeds. During this time, ensuring proper soil health is vital to maintaining productivity.
As crops are harvested, farmers must begin preparing the soil for the next planting season. AgriTec’s products, Pro-Cal and Advanced-Cal, help by enhancing soil structure, increasing nutrient availability, and balancing pH levels. These products ensure that the soil remains fertile and ready to support future crops.
The Role of Pivotal Minerals
Several minerals and elements are crucial to the growth and health of corn and soybean crops, especially during the fall season. AgriTec International’s liquid fertilizers are formulated to provide optimal levels of these key nutrients:
- Nitrogen (N): Nitrogen is vital for corn, which absorbs more of it than almost any other nutrient. AgriTec’s products, such as Nitro-Maxx+, provide a readily available form of nitrogen that is quickly absorbed by plants. Testimonials from farmers, such as Robert H. from Arkansas, highlight how Nitro-Maxx+ improved the health and color of their crops, with Hardy mentioning that his grass grew so thick he could barely walk through it.
“I have never seen my pasture this thick, I have doubled my yield. I used the Pro-Cal and it worked great, then we put Nitro-Maxx on and I can almost watch the grass grow. It’s growing so fast.” – Robert H. 2020, AR
- Potassium (K): Essential for both corn and soybeans, potassium helps regulate water uptake and supports overall plant health. AgriTec’s liquid potassium amendments ensure that crops remain resilient during dry spells. Rusty B. from Mississippi noted how his soybean crop flourished even during a drought, thanks to AgriTec’s fertilizer program.
“I applied your nitromaxx+ to my winter wheat. Within a week you could see it going to work. I’ve never seen nitrogen work so fast or efficient. Where I over lapped you could see a distinct line that was even greener than the areas that didn’t. I even stopped for a second and I could see a line there too. This stuff is really taking off. I’m excited to see what your full program does to my beans.” – Rusty B. 2022, MS
- Magnesium (Mg): Magnesium plays a crucial role in photosynthesis, and without it, plants cannot produce the energy they need to grow. By ensuring adequate magnesium levels, AgriTec’s products enhance the energy production capacity of corn and soybean crops.
- Zinc (Zn): Zinc is necessary for various enzymatic processes within the plant, including protein synthesis and growth regulation. AgriTec’s fertilizers ensure that plants receive the necessary micronutrients like zinc to maintain their health and productivity throughout the fall.
- Calcium (Ca): Products like Pro-Cal and Advanced-Cal, rich in calcium, are vital for improving soil structure, balancing pH levels, and ensuring strong plant growth. Bruce B. from Illinois experienced a remarkable 10-bushel increase per acre in his soybean yield after applying Advanced-Cal, demonstrating the significant impact of calcium on crop productivity.
“Everywhere I put the Advanced-Cal last fall made an extra 10 bushel to the acre on my beans.”
– Bruce Block 2023 Illinois
Testimonials from Farmers
Many farmers who use AgriTec’s liquid fertilizers and soil amendments have shared positive experiences, showcasing the effectiveness of these products in enhancing crop health and yield. For example, Dr. Wright from Virginia shared how AgriTec’s recommendations completely transformed his 200-acre corn and soybean operation. After switching to AgriTec’s liquid fertilizers, his crops grew healthier and more resilient, leading to a highly successful growing season.
“I just want to thank you for what you’ve done for me and my fields of corn and beans. Your recommendation and products have made a believer out of me. We are dumping Southern states and going strictly with your recommendations and products, Nitro-Maxx+ is fantastic on corn and your 3-18-18+ and Advanced-Cal saved our beans. Next year, I have corn I couldn’t plant until late May and it is over my head now. You have completely changed our 200 acres.Thank you for your professionalism.”
– Dr. Wright, 2023, VA
Additionally, Allen W. from North Carolina noted that using AgriTec’s liquid calcium product completely turned around his corn crop. After applying Pro-Cal, he saved some to use on his soybeans, further optimizing his yields. These testimonials echo the experiences of numerous other farmers who have seen significant improvements in crop health, yield, and overall soil quality thanks to AgriTec’s products.
“I used some of the liquid lime and it turned my corn around. I’m saving some to use on some soybeans.”

Liquid Soil Amendment Benefits
- Improved Nutrient Absorption: Liquid fertilizers and amendments allow for faster nutrient uptake, ensuring that plants receive the nutrients they need when they need them most. This rapid absorption can be especially critical in the fall when crops are preparing for harvest or when soil is being conditioned for the next planting season.
- Balanced pH Levels: Maintaining the correct soil pH is crucial for crop health, as it determines the availability of essential nutrients. AgriTec’s Pro-Cal and Advanced-Cal products have shown excellent results in balancing soil pH. As Randy D. from Maryland highlighted, after using AgriTec’s products, he saw extraordinary crop performance, doubling his hay yield compared to previous years.
“I purchased Pro-Cal from you last year and I was wondering if you have a product to apply to our hay fields after the first cutting. We used our manure in the spring. We had an extraordinary crop this spring. Got just as much off of first cutting as we did all three last season” – Randy Davis MD 2023
Increased Yields: Many of AgriTec’s customers report increased yields after using their liquid soil amendments. For example, Kenneth D. from North Carolina saw an increase in his hay production by more than 20% after applying Pro-Cal . Similar stories are shared by soybean farmers like R. Osborn from Illinois, who reported a record-breaking yield of 81.2 bushels per acre after using Advanced-Cal on his soybean fields.
“We came out around 20% more hay in each field we used Pro-Cal on, was a few weeks later cutting due to weather, also no broom straw in spring cutting, which was very good.” – Kenneth D. 2024, NC
“I have never gotten over 50 bushel on my beans. I put 3 gallons of the Advanced-Cal on my bean ground and got 81.2 Bushels. My neighbor farms the other half of the field. Same seed, and program but he didn’t use the Advanced-Cal and he only got 60 bushel.” – R Osborn 2023, IL
Cost-Effective: AgriTec’s liquid fertilizers are not only effective but also cost-efficient. The ease of application and rapid results mean that farmers can achieve better crop performance without the high costs associated with traditional fertilizers and soil amendments. The effectiveness of AgriTec’s products has led many farmers, such as John G. from Kansas, to switch entirely to liquid fertilizers for their corn and soybean operations.
“A week and a half ago my corn was looking very yellow and was only about knee-high. I put the Nitro-Maxx+ on it, it’s been a week and a half since I applied the product, and I just came back to this field and the corn is taller than shoulder height and dark green.” – John G. 2023, KS
