Is the calcium in the soil available to your potatoes?
Calcium nitrate is key for growing your best potatoes. Even calcareous soils often need available calcium added at key points in the season. YaraLiva delivers fast-acting nitrate nitrogen and fully-soluble, readily available calcium for higher yields, better quality and improved storability in Western Canada potatoes.
Take a look at these trials
On the left side, potatoes were treated with YaraLiva TROPICOTE. On the right, potatoes received the grower standard program (no added calcium).
Potatoes treated with YaraLiva TROPICOTE yielded 524 cwt/ac versus 374 cwt/ac from the grower standard program.
On the left side, potatoes were treated with YaraLiva TROPICOTE. On the right, potatoes received the grower standard program (no added calcium).
Potatoes treated with YaraLiva TROPICOTE yielded 391 cwt/ac versus 326 cwt/ac from the grower standard program.
Average potato yield increase with YaraLiva CN-9 across 21 trials between 2018-2021
Potato yields were increased by an average of 19.6 cwt/ac (7.3%) with YaraLiva CN-9 in 21 field trials conducted in North Dakota, Minnesota, Michigan, and Oregon between 2018 and 2021.
Impact of form of calcium on potato yield in Michigan across six trials between 2021-2023
Evaluation of calcium sources in Michigan showed YaraLiva CN-9 improved potato yields compared to calcium chloride (+14.5 cwt/ac), gypsum (+14.5 cwt/ac), and where no calcium was applied (+95 cwt/ac). These findings are based on six field trials conducted between 2021-2023 on Manistee and Russet Norkotah varieties.
