Improve Nutrient Efficiency for Corn
Discover how Sound products can improve your nutrient use efficiency score and the profitability of your corn crop.
Optimize Your Profitability and Nutrition of Corn Crops
By optimizing nutrient efficiency with Sound products, corn plants can access and use nutrients more effectively. When crops are able to access the nutrients in the soil, the result is higher yields with fewer inputs.
Sound can help growers make key nutrients like nitrogen and phosphorus more available to corn at crucial growth stages, improving yield potential and boosting long-term profitability for growers.
Results Backed by National Data
Silage Results
SOURCE consistently delivers value for silage growers by increasing biomass and quality. The 4‑year average yield improvement is nearly 1 T/ac with a 77% win rate.
Our experience with silage over 4 years has revealed two important aspects of proper placement. First, the application timing matters: we recommend the V4 – V6 timing window. Next, as shown in the chart, growers who apply less than 100 units of synthetic nitrogen achieve even greater results, averaging 1.4 T/ac uplift.
SOURCE has been tested in every major silage-producing region and consistently provides $30+ per acre in return to silage growers.

Boosting Nitrogen Uptake for Corn Growth
Nitrogen plays a critical role in leaf growth, chlorophyll production, and overall plant vigor. SOURCE and BLUEPRINT enhance nitrogen uptake by improving nutrient availability in the soil and promoting root activity, allowing corn plants to absorb and utilize nitrogen throughout key growth stages more efficiently.

Unlocking Phosphorus for Optimal Corn Yields
Phosphorus is often abundant in the soil, but much of it is locked in forms that corn plants can’t absorb. Sound’s products unlock this stored phosphorus by working with microbes and fungi that break it down and deliver it to the crop.

Maximizing Corn Growth with Micronutrient Support
Micronutrients are often the limiting factor in crop growth. SOURCE improves nutrient availability while BLUEPRINT provides extra reach into the soil, allowing the crop to access more critical nutrients throughout the soil profile.

Unlock Profitability in your Corn Crop
By optimizing nutrient efficiency with Sound products, corn plants can access and use essential nutrients more effectively, paving the way for healthier, more productive crops. Nutrient efficiency means making the most of what’s already in your soil and improved nutrient availability so corn plants can channel their energy into stronger growth, better boll development, and ultimately higher yields.
Sound products, like SOURCE and BLUEPRINT, are specifically designed to unlock key nutrients like nitrogen and phosphorus that are often trapped in forms plants can’t absorb. These products work synergistically with soil microbes, enhancing nutrient availability at critical growth stages.
