ASA is excited to announce a new partnership with FMC Corporation and NACHURS. ASA is seeking 125 growers across the soybean belt to enroll and conduct a Soy Booster field trial on their farms during the 2013 production season.

ASA, FMC and NACHURS will work with participating growers to conduct field trials utilizing FMC’s Capture LFR (Liquid Fertilizer Ready) insecticide and NACHURS HKW6 liquid starter fertilizer on soybeans. These trials will give individual soybean growers the opportunity to observe and measure for themselves how the application of Capture LFR insecticide with starter fertilizer will enhance profitable production on their farm. ASA will partner with FMC and NACHURS to educate growers about the use of these tools and techniques.

Field Trial Requirements:

• Growers will need to devote 20 acres treated with Capture LFR and NACHURS HKW6 liquid starter fertilizer and 20 acres untreated
• Products for treatment will be provided free of charge and you must be able to apply the starter fertilizer and liquid insecticide in-furrow to all row units as you seed soybeans.

"ASA is always working on behalf of U.S. soybean producers to increase profitability," said ASA Vice President and Membership & Corporate Relations Committee Chairman Bob Worth. "We appreciate growers’ consideration of participating in this important research."

Growers who complete the program will receive a free Kindle Fire tablet.
