Sulfur is important! It maximizes nitrogen efficiency and creates synergies with potassium and nitrogen to produce proteins essential for crop growth. It can be challenging to apply efficiently because sulfate is water soluble and moves freely with soil water, making it susceptible to loss
through leaching during Spring rainfall events. It sure would be nice if someone would make Thio-Sulfate with faster and more efficient plant uptake! Well, that’s exactly what we did! Introducing… SideMate.
A high Sulfur load UAN additive that can be used beside the row or in sidedress, Y-Drop or topdress applications. SideMate is designed to take the place of Ammonium Thiosulfate (ATS) with several distinct advantages!
It contains Sulfur in the form of Ammonium Thiosulfate
→ Sulfur maximizes nitrogen use efficiency.
It contains NanoBondTM, NanoLiquid technology, proven to increase ROI in UAN
→ At Beck’s Practical Farm Research in 2022, the addition of NanoLiquidTM technology to UAN had a positive ROI of $9.05/A., while increasing yield 2.5 Bu./A.
→ At the Precision Technology Institute (PTI) in 2022, the addition of NanoLiquidTM technology to UAN showed a positive ROI of $11.18/A., increasing yield 2.9 Bu./A.
It contains Fulvic Acid
→ Fulvic Acid is known to energize soil bioactivity which results in increased nutrient utilization, specifically improving the uptake and efficiency of Phosphorus
