Sycon: A Strong Foundation for Cotton Yield
Ensuring your crop’s resiliency throughout the growing season
Early in the vegetative stages, an application of Sycon can impact the plant in three main ways: nitrogen use efficiency, energy production and improving plant vitality. Early use of Sycon builds a foundation for a productive cotton stand, assisting plants in achieving balanced nutrition and resilience against in-season stressors.
You begin building the foundation for a quality crop through variety selection and soil preparation. This work continues throughout planting and into the early growth stages. A strong foundation helps a cotton crop have the best chance for high yields.
The plants’ ability to withstand the stressors nature will throw your way is critical to the endgame-there may be too much water or not enough; there may be a late frost or sizzling heat. Ensuring your crop has the nutrients it needs, and is able to quickly and efficiently utilize them, helps to create a strong foundation so the plant can manage those stressors and ultimately produce a quality yield.
- NITROGEN USE EFFICIENCY
Nitrogen is a critical nutrient for cotton, especially during boll fill. But it can be difficult to manage nitrogen all season long and ensure what is applied is reaching the plant. Sycon enhances nitrogen uptake, helping to get more nitrogen into the plant when it needs it most. It also improves enzyme activity and immune response to create a resilient plant that can maintain its standing in drought, wet weather, extreme temperatures and salinity.
- ENERGY PRODUCTION DURING PHOTOSYNTHESIS
Plants that are able to make the most of the critical process of photosynthesis are stronger and more productive. From first square to boll, Sycon helps to optimize energy during photosynthesis to help every cotton plant maximize its yield potential.
- PLANT VITALITY
Crops need to efficiently access the nutrients in the soil and utilize those nutrients effectively to meet their greatest potential. Sycon is proven to improve nutrient use efficiency, leading to increased plant biomass and higher yields. Sycon also helps plants efficiently transport nutrients, creating healthier plants to better defend against abiotic stresses.
THREE EFFECTS. ONE OUTCOME.
It’s no secret that plant vitality protects yield potential. Using products designed to improve vitality is the best option for driving yield. Cotton needs to be able to efficiently and effectively use available nutrients to create a system that can effectively manage in-season stressors while still producing.
