WillRock Ag Nutrient & Residue Management

Two 2.5-gallon jugs per pack — 5 gallons total, treating 20 acres at the 32 oz rate.

You already own more fertility than you think. It is lying in the field.

Corn residue holds nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium that the next crop never sees, because the stalks do not break down fast enough to release it in time. WillRock Nutrient & Residue Management goes on with your pre-plant burndown and puts that nutrition back in play — while conditioning your water and carrying the herbicide better than the AMS you were already buying.

One pass. One jug on the trailer instead of three.

Four jobs, one product

Water conditioning. Ammonium sulfate ties up the hard-water cations that rob glyphosate and other water-soluble herbicides of their punch. This is the same job your dry AMS was doing, without the bag, the dust, or the wait for it to dissolve.

Surfactant. A non-ionic surfactant is built in, so the spray sheets out and stays where it lands. That is another jug you no longer have to load.

Residue breakdown. CycleStrike™ LR is a consortium of microbes that goes to work on stalks and cover crop material, degrading residue faster so you get better seed-to-soil contact at planting and a cleaner seedbed to work into.

Nutrient release. As that residue breaks down, the nutrients locked inside it become available to the crop you are about to plant — in the same season, not two years from now.

The microbes stay alive until you use them

CycleStrike LR ships in a sealed Bio-Capsule™ that mounts on the jug. You unscrew the cap, screw the capsule on, push the button, and release the microbes into the jug right before it goes in the tank.

That design exists for a reason. Biologicals pre-mixed into a liquid carrier lose viability sitting on a shelf. Keeping them separate until the moment of application means the count you paid for is the count that reaches the field.

The pack also includes BioFlex, a water pre-treatment that converts chlorine in your spray water into chloride — a form that is a plant nutrient rather than something that kills the biology you just paid for. Treat your water with BioFlex first, then add everything else.

Why growers use it

• Replaces three products — AMS, surfactant and a separate residue product, in one jug
• No extra pass — rides along with your pre-plant burndown
• Faster residue breakdown — better seed-to-soil contact and cleaner emergence
• In-season nutrient release — Meristem reports 40 to 60 lbs of NPK released from residue 45 to 60 days after application, with third-party trial data putting corn fodder release at roughly the equivalent of 100 lbs of 10-30-30 per acre
• Better herbicide performance — water conditioning and surfactant working together on water-soluble burndown chemistry
• Live biology at the point of use — Bio-Capsule stays sealed until you break it at the tank
• Chlorine handled — BioFlex protects the microbes from your own spray water
• Less trailer space, less mixing — fewer jugs to haul, fewer things to get wrong

Rate and coverage

Apply at 32 oz per acre — one quart — in a minimum of 10 gallons of water per acre. Sold as a 2-jug pack, two 2.5-gallon jugs, 5 gallons total. One pack treats 20 acres, or about $15 per acre.

Positioned as a pre-plant application with burndown. It can also be applied in the fall after harvest, which gives the microbes a longer window to work on standing residue before spring.

How to mix

1. Treat your spray water with BioFlex first, before adding anything else.
2. Unscrew the jug cap and screw the CycleStrike LR capsule onto the jug.
3. Push the button to release the microbes into the jug.
4. Shake or agitate the jug to blend.
5. Add to the tank with your herbicide and finish filling.
6. Maintain agitation and spray. Do not let a loaded tank sit overnight.

Release the capsule the day you spray, not the week before. The whole point of the Bio-Capsule is keeping the biology dormant and viable until application. Once it is in the jug, use it.

Specifications

Always read and follow label directions. Jar test any tank mix combination you have not run before.
