Research on foliar applied nutrients such as the MAX-IN product line for various forages will be tested for performance based upon plant tissue tests. A tissue testing program called Nutrisolutions will be conducted to determine the amount of nutrients within a plant before and after the application of nutrients to forage throughout the growing season. These products will be tested on performance during different stages of plant growth to determine the plant response to the nutrient application to show statistical numbers of how applying nutrients injunction with tissue testing can help forage producers produce better quality products.
