Meristem Launches EXCAVATOR® AMS

Ohio-based Meristem Crop Performance® on June 27 announced the launch of EXCAVATOR® AMS, a new formulation of its EXCAVATOR product designed to break down residue and cover crops faster, speed nutrient release, reduce labor, and improve the efficacy of herbicide applications.

Meristem said the new formulation includes ammonium sulfate, which it described as a “non-ionic surfactant to make burndown of weeds and cover crops more effective and more convenient.”

“It’s time to fight back and take cost out of your synthetic fertilizer spend by unlocking the plant nutrition you already own,” said Mitch Eviston, Meristem Founder and CEO. “Additionally, we are giving the farmer a best-in-class water condition and surfactant system for free and a nitrogen kicker making EXCAVATOR AMS the best residue breakdown product on the market.”
