NACHURS SideLine® is a concentrated liquid micronutrient fertilizer developed to deliver magnesium, iron, manganese, and zinc in highly available, fully EDTA-chelated forms.
EDTA chelation helps protect micronutrients from chemical reactions that can cause them to become tied up in the soil or when mixed with other fertilizers. This protection helps keep the nutrients available for crop uptake and allows SideLine to fit efficiently into existing starter, foliar, and irrigation fertility programs.
The balanced micronutrient package supports essential plant processes including chlorophyll production, photosynthesis, enzyme activity, nutrient movement, root development, protein formation, and crop maturity. SideLine is particularly well suited to soybean fertility programs and crops with micronutrient requirements confirmed through soil testing or plant tissue analysis.
NACHURS SideLine can be applied with the seed using a compatible NACHURS in-furrow starter, sprayed over the crop as a foliar treatment, or delivered through drip, sprinkler, and furrow-irrigation systems.
Nutrient Analysis
- Magnesium: 0.50%
- Iron: 0.36%
- Manganese: 2.60%
- Zinc: 1.50%
Role of the Nutrients
Magnesium
Magnesium is a central component of chlorophyll and supports photosynthesis. It also helps regulate nutrient uptake and phosphorus movement within the plant.
Iron
Iron is required for chlorophyll formation and supports biochemical processes involved in respiration, photosynthesis, and nitrogen metabolism.
Manganese
Manganese contributes to chlorophyll development and functions as a catalyst within several plant enzyme systems.
Zinc
Zinc supports starch formation, proper root development, seed production, vigorous growth, and uniform crop maturity.
Ideal Applications
- Soybean starter programs
- In-furrow micronutrient applications
- Foliar crop-nutrition programs
- Drip-irrigation systems
- Sprinkler irrigation
- Furrow-irrigation systems
- Crops with confirmed micronutrient deficiencies
- Fields requiring supplemental magnesium
- Fields requiring supplemental iron
- Fields requiring supplemental manganese
- Fields requiring supplemental zinc
- Programs using compatible NACHURS liquid starters
In-Furrow Application Rate
Apply 1–2 pints per acre with the seed.
SideLine may be applied with a NACHURS in-furrow starter fertilizer labeled for use on soybeans. Follow the starter-fertilizer label and consider the total fertilizer salt load, soil conditions, row spacing, and placement method.
Foliar Application Rate
Apply 1–2 pints per acre with sufficient spray volume to provide thorough and uniform crop coverage.
Foliar timing should be based on crop requirements, growth stage, soil testing, plant tissue analysis, and professional fertility recommendations.
Irrigation Application Rate
Apply 1–2 pints per acre through a compatible:
- Drip-irrigation system
- Sprinkler-irrigation system
- Furrow-irrigation system
Confirm compatibility with the irrigation water and any other fertilizers before application.
Mixing and Compatibility
NACHURS SideLine may be incorporated into compatible liquid fertilizer and crop-protection programs.
For best results:
- Add approximately one-third of the required water or fertilizer to the tank.
- Add other compatible agricultural products.
- Add the remaining water or fertilizer.
- Add the recommended amount of SideLine.
- Agitate thoroughly to produce a uniform mixture.
Always perform a proportional jar test before large-scale mixing. Follow every fertilizer and pesticide label included in the application.
Why Growers Choose NACHURS SideLine
Micronutrients are required in relatively small quantities, but they support essential processes throughout the crop’s life cycle. When magnesium, iron, manganese, or zinc becomes unavailable, crops may experience reduced chlorophyll production, limited root development, restricted enzyme activity, or uneven growth.
NACHURS SideLine supplies these nutrients in fully EDTA-chelated forms designed to remain available for plant uptake. Its flexible in-furrow, foliar, and irrigation applications allow growers to provide targeted micronutrient nutrition without requiring a separate fertility system.
SideLine should supplement a complete fertility program. Apply according to soil testing, plant tissue analysis, label directions, and recommendations from a qualified agronomist.
Protect micronutrient availability. Support stronger crop development. Keep every fertility program on the right side of performance.
