YIELD ENHANCERS
Yield enhancing Products
Carbon Boost-S
DESCRIPTION
When Carbon Boost-S is added to existing soil fertilizer applications, plants are more rapidly
and efficiently able to absorb and translocate vital nutrients than before. Carbon Boost-S
utilizes technology to promote plant health, increase crop yields, increase nutrient efficiency,
reduce soil chemistry tie-ups, and reduce crop stress. It is formulated to promote strong
plant growth under stressful environmental conditions (i.e. cold, wet soils, drought stress,
compaction, pH extremes, excess sand content, etc.).
Mix this with your chemical as a foliar feed. It helps improve chlorophyll movement
throughout the plant. It can be used on any crop. A normal rate for Carbon Boost-S is 8oz/A.
Brandt Smart Trio
DESCRIPTION
BRANDT SMART TRIO is a proprietary crop nutrition technology designed to boost plant
health, correct nutrient deficiencies, and bring new efficiencies to foliar applications. Ideal
for today’s leading row crops, BRANDT SMART TRIO allows micronutrients and herbicides,
such as glyphosphate, to be mixed in the same tank and sprayed with one application.
This is a great product to mix with your glyphosates when spraying crops. It provides
micronutrients that help give plants manganese to prevent the crop from stunting from
glyphosate. Our plots have shown a 2.8 bu to 6.2 bu advantage in soybeans.
Quick Roots
DESCRIPTION
The microorganisms in QuickRoots have been shown to increase availability of certain soil
plant nutrients. Can release plant available phosphorus from sources in the soil which has
been shown to increase root mass, allowing the plant to explore a greater volume of soil.
Increased plant nutrient availability will often lead to increased plant health and vigor which
can translate into a yield response.
Wetcit
DESCRIPTION
WETCIT is an adjuvant to improve tank mix efficiency via improved coverage of moisture and
improved penetration of tank mix into plant and insect follicle and waxy surfaces. This adjuvant is used to enhance the performance of chemicals when post-spraying your crops. It
contains citric acid which helps suppress insect pressure of soft bodied insects such as mites.

COVER CROP PROGRAMS
SOILBUILDER™ COVER CROP
SoilBuilder™ Spring Mix
Wheat Rotation
Burndown date: At planting
SoilBuilder mix includes: Oats, Turnips, Radish,Cow Peas, Lentils, Forage Pea
Planting Rate: 30 lb. per acre
This mix is perfect for seeding following corn or soybeans and ahead of planting winter wheat. It
has ideal ratio of grasses (45%), Brassica (40%) and legumes (15%) to keep the soil covered reducing
erosion. It also stimulates microbial activity, conserves soil moisture, and prepares the seedbed for fall
wheat seeding. This mix also works well in a corn rotation provided it can be seed in very early spring
and corn planting is later. A separate spring mix for a soybean rotation features grasses and brassicas
that get beneficial soil organisms off to a good start and prep the soil ahead of soybean planting.
SoilBuilder™ Summer Mix
Corn Rotation
Generally planted post wheat harvest
SoilBuilder™ mix includes: Summer Annual Forage, Purple Top Turnip,
Oilseed Radish, Lentils, Cow Pea, Forage Pea or Forage Soybean
Planting Rate: 16 lb. per acre
This mix is beefed up with (25%) legumes to fix as much nitrogen as possible ahead of the following
spring’s corn planting. When combined with (10%) grasses and (65%) brassicas, this cover crop is
outstanding at holding soil in place. The extra boost of nitrogen - 50-100 pounds per acre average will help your corn crop perform. The soil will firm up quicker in spring, allowing corn planting to get
underway sooner than on bare ground. When compared to eco-fallow, this cover crop saves fuel and
chemical costs while reducing compaction.
Forage Option
Some growers seed up to 1.5 times the regular planting rate and allow livestock to graze the cover crop
in the fall. The SoilBuilder™ Summer Mix provides excellent nutrition for livestock with solid protein and
total digestible nutrient figures. Grazing does, however, reduce some of the soil benefits the cover crop
provides. This is an option in all ARROW SEED summer annual forages.
An alternative SoilBuilder™ mix is also available for soybean rotation. This mix includes: Summer Annual
Forage, Oats, Turnips, and Oilseed Radish that invigorate the soil while reducing erosion.
Why Plant A Cover Crop?
15
Consider all these economic benefits:
Improves Soil Structure
Increased Soil Biological Activities
Nitrogen Stabilization & Fixation
Provides A Grazing Resource
Improved Soil-Water Relations
Soil Stabilization
SoilBuilder™ Late Summer Mixes
Corn Rotation
Plant prior to last irrigation or on silage ground or seed corn
production fields; or drill immediately after soybean harvest
SoilBuilder™ Mix includes: Summer Annual Forage, Oats, Turnips,
Oil Seed Radish, Austrian Winter Pea, Lentils, Forage Pea or
Forage Soybean
Planting Rate: 19lb. per acre
This late summer mix greens up quick with (65%) grasses to get well established ahead of a hard freeze
which keeps beneficial organisms active into late fall. (25%) brassicas combat compaction while the mix
as a whole encourages residue to break down more quickly. (10%) legumes provide a helpful shot of
nitrogen. This mix is typically drilled on silage ground or air seeded over mature corn prior to the final irrigation or on soybean ground prior to leaf drop or immediately after soybean harvest.
Winter Annual Mixes Option for Corn Rotation
Burn down date: April 1 of following year or at planting
SoilBuilder™ Mix includes: Winter Wheat, Oats, Triticale
(or Annual Rye or Winter Rye), Turnips. Oilseed Radish,
Austrian Winter Pea, Lentils, Common or Hairy Vetch
Planting Rate: 19lb. per acre
This mix establishes itself quickly in the fall and greens up again in the spring with (65%) grasses to get
beneficial soil organisms off to a quick start and keeps soil in place while (25%) brassicas break up
compaction and (10%) legumes provide a bosst of nitrogen. This mix is typically drilled on silage ground
or early harvested corn or air seeded over mature corn prior to the final irrigation or soybeans prior to leaf
drop.
Wheat Rotation (No-Till Fallow)
Generally planted into corn stalks
SoilBuilder™ Mix includes: Oats, Turnips, Oil Seed Radish,
Austrian Winter Pea, Lentils, Winter or Common Vetch
Planting Rate: 26lb. per acre
This mix of (45%) grasses, (47%) brassicas, and (8%) legumes goes right to work breaking up compaction
and breaking down corn residue all while reducing wind and water erosion. This mix is typically drilled
into corn stalks.
Soybean Rotation
Plant prior to leaf drop
SoilBuilder™ Mix includes: Summer Annual Forage, Oats,
Winter Wheat, Turnips, Oilseed Radish
Planting Rate: 16lb. per acre
With this mix you’ll get a high quality product of (75%) grasses and (25%) brassicas that quickly establish
themselves and build a deep, strong root base that helps break up compaction and significantly reduce
erosion, and the soil will better absorb and hold moisture. This mix is typically drilled on early harvested
corn ground or seeded prior to final irrigation.
ARROW SEED developed its SoilBuilder™ cover crop mixes to provide the most benefits
to the soil and to the next crop in your rotation thanks to their ability to improve the soil’s
structure while providing a boost in nutrients like nitrogen. The mixes are big on

TECHNOLOGY TO IMPROVE YIELD
The FUTURE
OF IRRIGATION
By: Lance Atwater
Precision Ag Technology Specialist
For Precision Ag Help Contact:
Kevin Royal: 402-463-5148
Irrigation has been around for centuries and has changed
dramatically over the years. Many farmers probably remember growing up
using irrigation ditches that utilized siphon tubes. Then pipe became the
normal way to irrigate until the invention of the pivot.
While irrigation practices might have changed over the years, the
resource used to irrigate crops has not. As many already know, water is a
natural resource that comes in a limited supply and should not be taken for
granted. Although we need to conserve water for future generations, we also
have to look at ways to maximize water applications so that irrigation costs
are reduced and yields increased.
This is where CPI’s Water Management Solutions program comes into play. Through
the use of variable rate irrigation technology and soil moisture probes, farmers now have
better control of their water applications. Variable rate irrigation and soil moisture probes
let farmers apply the correct amount of water on the right soil type at the right time. This
can prevent over watering and under watering of crops, which leads to reduced yields.
CPI’s soil moisture probes also identify leaching of nutrients through the soil profile by
measuring salinity. Using variable rate irrigation and soil moisture probes will reduce
irrigation costs and increase yields whileconserving water at the same time.
Variable rate irrigation and soil moisture monitoring are the future of irrigation.
Yet, why wait for the future? The time to implement this technology is now! Be sure to
visit with your local CPI sales representative about CPI’s Water Management Solutions
program and how CPI can help you maximize your water applications!
