Loveland Products Inc. has announced the launch of Extract® XC, a next-generation product of its Extract Powered by Accomplish® (Extract PBA).
The new concentrated formulation is designed to help farmers release more nitrogen and sulfur from crop residue, using half the product per acre compared to previous versions.
“Farmers are always looking for ways to get more out of every dollar they invest,” said Ron Calhoun, senior manager of plant nutrition for Loveland Products. “With Extract XC, they can get more nutrients working for their next crop while handling fewer jugs and making fewer passes. It’s about making fall fertility simpler, more efficient, and more profitable.”
For information on Extract XC, reach out to a Nutrien Ag Solutions crop consultant, or go to lovelandproducts.com.
