What Are The 5 Stages?

  • Stage 1

    Stage 1 - Setup

    Break down crop residue and kick-start mineralization — returning vital nutrients back to the soil.

    Stage 1 ensures your soil is setup for an optimal growing season.

  • Stage 2

    Stage 2 - Establish

    Ensure initiation of seed germination, nutrient availability, seedling vigor, and overall formation of plant-to-microbe associations in the rhizosphere.

    Stage 2 establishes the seed health for productivity in later stages.

  • Stage 3

    Stage 3 - Create

    Enhance the function of photosynthesis in your crop, increase sugar production, and support biological activity in the rhizosphere.   

    Stage 3 creates the right systems for your plant during rapid growth phases

  • Stage 4

    Stage 4 - Refuel

    Manage this late vegetative stage and prime your crops and soil for peak profitability, focusing on root depth and size.   

    Stage 4 refuels your plant for fertility by maintaining sugar production and root development that is known to decrease during this growth stage.

  • Stage 5

    Stage 5 - Move

    The better plants are at producing and remobilizing vital sugars, the better they are at overcoming stress and finishing strong.    

    Stage 5 is focused on moving the critical nutrients to the top of the plant so it can keep up with sugar production to maximize yield.
