Free Phos 24 Resources

For 2023, we conducted multiple trials, here are 9 separate trials to help solidify the results that can be expected, when incorporating Free Phos 24 into almost any corn program in the Midwest. It has always been CultivAce’s goal to thoroughly investigate the efficacy and development of our product line.

Our Mission in 2023

Free Phos Corn Trial

2023 Iowa No Till Corn Trial

In our 2023 Iowa No-Till Corn Trial, a unique comparison was conducted between Free Phos 24 and a standard treatment on a sizable cornfield.

The trial was initiated in early May and harvest was in mid-October, showing an improvement in gross return.

2023 Ohio Corn Trial

In our Ohio trial, a comparative study was conducted on a farm in Washington Courthouse on corn. The trial, initiated in mid-May, employed alternating treatments across different field sections.

Our results highlighted a subtle yet consistently noteworthy difference in yield performance, demonstrating the potential benefits of the treatments used.

2023 Michigan Corn Trial | 8-24-0 v. 9-24-0-2S

In a trial at Mount Pleasant, Michigan, Free Phos 24 yielded 137 bushels per acre, surpassing the standard fertilizer's 131 bushels per acre.

Despite limited rainfall, Free Phos 24 achieved a higher gross profit of $685 per acre, compared to $655 per acre of the grower standard.

In Colfax, Wisconsin, we conducted a field trial, testing the effects of foliar applying 1 gallon per acre of Free Phos 24 on two corn hybrids equal applications of 10-34-0, ZInc EDTA, 1.5 lbs of Sugar, and 1 gal/acre of K-Row.

The goal was again, to improve gross yield per acre, when comparing it with standard fertilization methods. Free Phos 24, consistently makes moderate, translateable gains in yield profit.

Free Phos 24 isn't just a phosphorus fertilizer; it's also a beneficial carbon source. With the inclusion of a carbon source, it provides essential carbon compounds. As the soil microorganisms feed on this carbon source, they contribute to improved nutrient cycling and overall soil health.

2023 Wisconsin Free Phos 24 Corn Trial

In the Wisconsin trial, CultivAce's Free Phos 24 demonstrated its superiority over a standard treatment comprising 10-34-0, K-Row, Zinc EDTA, Humic Acid, and Sugar. Applied to corn varieties DKC and P9193, Free Phos 24 yielded a notable increase in gross returns: $995 per acre for DKC and $1,050 for P9193.

This outcome highlights Free Phos 24's potential in not just enhancing crop yields but also in offering a more profitable solution in comparison to conventional nutrient mixes.

Grower Success Stories

  • "Western Aglands has used CultivAce acetate products and FreePhos since they were developed. The acetate products are in a very available form and because of this as a grower I have had great success using them in foliar applications. In a trial last year growing bush beans 4 gallons of free phos was applied as a side dress while 30 gallons of 10-34-0 was applied the same. The FreePhos block yielded 32% more. On my farm we used 3 gallons FreePhos as a side dress on winter wheat seed last fall. Even with the dry and intensely hot growing season this year we obtained yields in the range of 150 bushel per acre without irrigation. As a grower, consultant, and distributor, I promote and recommend the Cultivace acetate products and FreePhos with high confidence.”

    Bob Wilt l Western Aglands/Wilt Farms l Founder/Owner

  • "I’ve used a multitude of CultivAce products when working with my growers. Where we’ve used FreePhos 24 against other pop-ups we can see the difference to the row. Their acetate fertilizers work better than any other foliar I’ve used in the past."

    Mannie Rose  l  CCA/PCA  l  California

  • "There is noticeably more root fiber with Free phos than the untreated check. In a year with low moisture this will make a big difference."

    - Matt S. Hampton Iowa

  • "I’ve been very impressed with Free phos 24 where I’ve used it in my wheat and corn."
