St. Paul, Minn. — CHS Inc. has introduced two new liquid starter fertilizers: CHS Aventine™ Complete, available through CHS Service Centers, and XLR-rate™, available nationwide through CHS cooperatives and crop input retailers. Both XLR-rate and CHS Aventine Complete can be used as a soil or foliar application. Their low-salt formulations make both products seed and plant safe, eliminating the risk of injury or yield loss. “XLR-rate liquid starter fertilizer is a high orthophosphate formulation that delivers early green-up in colder, wet soils; promotes root development for a better stand; and strengthens the crop during pre-productive growth stages to overcome disease and adverse growing conditions,” said Michael Johnson, crop nutrients marketing director for CHS. “CHS Aventine Complete contains a broad range of nutrients and unique chelation technology that prevents micronutrients like iron, copper, zinc, and manganese from binding in the soil, which improves seedling health for a good start that’s necessary for maximum yield,” said Mark Biedenfeld, business development manager for CHS.
