Improve Nutrient Efficiency for Forages
Discover how Sound products can improve your forages and the profitability of your grass hay and alfalfa crops.
Unlock Profitability in Your Forages
By optimizing nutrient efficiency with Sound products, grass hay and alfalfa 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 forages at crucial growth stages, improving yield potential and boosting long-term profitability for growers.
Results Backed by National Data
SOURCE delivers strong ROI on forages like grass hay and alfalfa by increasing biomass due to improved nutrient access throughout the season.
In grass hay, SOURCE generated an average of over $100 per acre with a 95% win rate, delivering consistent profitability across all acres. For alfalfa, SOURCE delivered over $20 per acre with an 89% win rate from increased biomass, while also supporting higher-quality forage.
Even more impressive, biomass increases were not limited to the first cutting after the SOURCE application, but were observed on subsequent cuttings throughout the season.

How BLUEPRINT + SOURCE Improve Your Forages
Sound can help forage growers access more nutrients than ever before with less synthetic fertilizer.

Nitrogen
Nitrogen is vital for stimulating leaf growth, increasing chlorophyll production, and enhancing the overall health of forage plants. SOURCE and BLUEPRINT enhance nitrogen uptake by improving nutrient availability in the soil and promoting root activity, allowing forage plants to absorb and utilize nitrogen throughout key growth stages more efficiently.

Phosphorus
Phosphorus is often abundant in the soil, but much of it is locked in forms that forage 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.

Micronutrients
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 Forage Crops
By optimizing nutrient efficiency with Sound products, forage 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 forage 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.
