SOURCE Fertilizer Replacement Available for Cotton in 2023
September 25, 2022 Sound Agriculture’s flagship fertilizer product, SOURCE, will be available for use in additional crops including cotton, wheat, alfalfa, and hay for the 2023 growing season.
Launched in 2021 for use in corn and soybeans, SOURCE is now used on more than one million U.S. acres in 2022. On average, returning growers doubled their purchase, driving an industry high net retention rate of 150%.
For the 2023 season, Sound Agriculture aims to support more growers with better yields and less fertilizer requirements, helping the company reach its goal of reducing 30% of global synthetic nitrogen fertilizer. Formulations for SOURCE have been improved to make the products easier to use while delivering the same yield and return on investment (ROI) benefits.
SOURCE is the only fertilizer replacement product that activates both nitrogen fixing and phosphate solubilizing microbes to provide sustainable nutrition at the root zone when crops need it the most. The product was designed to work similarly to other crop protection products, making it an easy addition to current management practices without the added time and costs often associated with new technologies.
The proprietary small molecule chemistry has secured numerous patents and is backed by rigorous mode of action studies.
Early field trial data has shown strong performance across the new crops. By providing access to more nutrients in-season, SOURCE demonstrated improved lint yields in cotton, grain yields in wheat, and biomass production in forages like alfalfa and grass hay to help create significant value for farmers – including a 3x ROI in cotton.
“It’s thrilling to see how far we’ve come in such a short time,” said Adam Litle, CEO, Sound Agriculture. “SOURCE is making a huge impact on farms with its ease of use and successful results. Our customers are looking for new tools that will help them succeed financially and environmentally, and SOURCE is doing just that.”
SOURCE is available now for the 2023 growing season and is backed by a performance guarantee. To learn more, visit the Sound website, follow on Twitter, or email source@sound.ag.
