SOURCE

  1. SOURCE is a soil activator that gives crops access to a more efficient source of nitrogen and phosphorus. A foliar application of SOURCE provides 25 pounds of N & P per acre and enhances micronutrient uptake by stimulating beneficial microbes, and its performance is supported by a cash-back guarantee.

    Find out how it works: SOURCE Mode of Action video.

  2. SOURCE is a foliar-applied chemistry that is tank mix compatible with herbicides or fungicides. The optimal timing of SOURCE products varies by crop.

  3. When SOURCE is applied as a foliar spray, plants absorb the product and send the active ingredient through the roots into the soil. The product mimics a natural signal sent by plants to microbes, nitrogen fixation and phosphate solubilization to provide more nutrition to the plant.

  4. There are currently three products within the SOURCE portfolio. SOURCE DC for use on corn, cotton, alfalfa and grass hay, and SOURCE XC for use on soybeans and wheat.

  5. SOURCE can be purchased through our network of independent dealers. Find your nearest dealer here. If a dealer is not available near you, please reach out to source@sound.ag to purchase today.
