As crops enter the most demanding stages of growth, nitrogen availability becomes one of the biggest factors separating average yields from exceptional ones. In-season nitrogen provides growers an opportunity to protect yield potential and improve their return on investment.
For many growers looking to maximize every acre, in-season nitrogen is not just an application but one of the final opportunities to influence yield before harvest. For crops like soybeans and corn, nitrogen plays an important role in supporting plant growth and providing the nutrients needed to finish the season strong.
Jason Gregory, Coron and Nutritional Brand Manager at Helena Products Group (HPG), compares the importance of nitrogen during this time to running a marathon.
“We’re probably at mile 20 of a 26.2-mile marathon,” says Gregory, “What can we do to make sure we finish that marathon and get those last six miles in and do it in a way that is going to put money in our pocket?”
One solution is Coron Metra®. Coron Metra combines Helena’s proven controlled-release nitrogen technology with ENC® Formulation Technology that differentiates the product from other foliar nitrogen sources.
Exclusive to Helena, this unique combination maximizes nutrient uptake, enhances tank-mix compatibility and delivers results time and time again.
Backed by 28 years of research and 2,000 different trials, Coron Metra is one of the highest tested products at HPG, and the results speak for themselves. The results show consistent performance, including an 80%-win rate in corn with an average yield increase of more than eight bushels per acre and a 70%-win rate in soybeans, averaging two additional bushels per acre.
Dr. Clay Perkins, Technical Development Manager at Helena Products Group, emphasizes the dependability of Coron Metra and the return on investment.
“Every environment, every growing condition, it has been tested in, and steady results follow that up,” says Dr. Perkins.
While market conditions and weather remain unpredictable, strategic in-season support can help crops reach their full potential.
Products like Coron Metra are designed to help crops finish strong when it matters most, at harvest. Supported by decades of research and proven field performance, Coron Metra gives growers the ultimate tool to maximize their return on investment.
