Where to Use JumpStart

• Seeding into cold soils:
  JumpStart is active in soil temperatures as low as 4°C making soil phosphate plant-available. JumpStart gets the crop out of the ground and off to an early start, making it a great fit for early seeded crops.
• Fall banding phosphates:
  The phosphate fertilizer is not next to the seed where it's needed for early season growth. JumpStart makes the soil phosphate around the seed plant-available helping it quickly emerge and develop a root system that will take advantage of the fall banded phosphate.
• Seed-placed phosphate is applied more than 1.5 inches from the seed:
  Same as fall banding, phosphate fertilizer is not close enough to the seed. JumpStart makes the phosphate in the soil around the seed plant-available and gives the crop that pop-up effect.
• Broadcast seeding canola:
  Using JumpStart will ensure every seed has access to phosphate. Jumpstart makes the phosphate in the soil around the seed plant-available and gives the crop that pop-up effect.
• High calcium (Ca) and high pH soils:
  These types of soils readily tie-up phosphate. The soil fungus in JumpStart breaks the bond phosphate forms with calcium by lowering the pH level within the root zone making phosphate more available.
• Concerned about seed-placed fertilizer levels:
  The top yielding canola varieties require significant amounts of seed-placed nitrogen and phosphate fertilizer to achieve their yield potential. Inoculating canola with JumpStart will help address the phosphate needs without causing seed safety concerns.
• Maturity concerns:
  An adequate early season supply of phosphate shows up at harvest time as less green seed, even maturity and more uniform seed set. JumpStart helps ensure phosphate is available to meet early season needs.
