SB GRO on Soybeans in Indiana
Overview
An Indiana grower trialed the SB GRO line of fertilizers with in-season foliar spray application, including SB GRO 2-0-6, SB GRO 4-2-2 and SB GRO 7-0-0. When compared to the control treated areas, soybeans treated with SB GRO yielded 2.3 bushels per acre more than the control-treated soybeans.

Increased Yield of 2.3 bu/ac on soybeans where SB GRO treatments were applied
Summary
This Indiana grower saw an increase in yield from use of in-season SB GRO products when compared with the control products.
Products Used
SB GRO 7-0-0
SB GRO 7-0-0 is an organic liquid fertilizer derived from soy protein hydrolysates. Applied midseason via irrigation, foliar spray or liquid side dress, SB GRO 7-0-0 mineralizes quickly allowing high quality organic nitrogen compounds to be directly absorbed by the plant roots, providing quick stimulation of plant growth and reducing plant stress from heat and salinity. SB GRO 7-0-0 is a part of the SB GRO product line formulated to be used over the growing season to provide optimum plant health and vigor for increased yields.
SB GRO 4-2-2
An organic liquid fertilizer used as a starter, SB GRO 4-2-2 is derived from plant-based ingredients and is an effective yet economical organic nitrogen source. SB GRO 4-2-2 is fast mineralizing and contains high levels of naturally occurring fulvic acids, which are known to have a stimulant effect on plants and can improve nutrient uptake. SB GRO 4-2-2 is a part of the SB GRO line of liquid fertilizers. SB GRO 4-2-2 can be applied through irrigation, foliar spray, liquid side dress and in-furrow.
SB GRO 2-0-6
Part of the SB GRO family of liquid organic fertilizers formulated to be used throughout the growing season, SB GRO 2-0-6 is applied mid to late season. It is an efficient, economical source of organic nitrogen and potassium and provides a wide range of biomolecular nutrients and microbes, supporting plant health and vigor. SB GRO 2-0-6 can be applied via irrigation, foliar spray and liquid side dress. It is compatible with most fertigation systems.
