Research
Our objective is to discover applications that return an economic yield response. Such applications being tested include: N-P-K-Ca/Mg fertilizer blends, broadcast applied before soybeans, corn, wheat and alfalfa in both reduced tillage and no-till systems. The focus of our research efforts reflect these applications.
Located near Casey, Illinois and under the direction of Dr. Roy M. Stephen, Arise Research is an incorporation of field research chemists with over 30 years of field trial laboratory experience. Arise works in all facets of agronomic field research offering testing in low organic matter soils with low CECs as well as high organic soils with high CECs.
 Since 1994, Arise Research and Discovery has been commissioned to study NutraLime and NutraSoft applications to a variety of crops. In recent years, Dr. Gary Tuxhorn of Eldora, Iowa; Philip Logsdon, Director of Research of Miles Farm Supply located in Owensboro, Kentucky; and Dr. Randy Simonson located in Catlin, Illinois have added their efforts towards researching NutraLime. All research protocols include alternative treatments. Specific NutraLime treatments are consistently showing economical yield responses while maintaining existing soil pH levels for continued productivity.

Alfalfa...
NutraLime increased harvested tonnage in all test years; crude protein content is significantly higher in the treated 2003 trials. Tests show improved seeding establishment and early plant health with Pellet Lime.
Soybeans...
Nine out of ten years soybeans treated with NutraLime significantly out yielded non-treated soybeans and netted big profits.
Wheat...
NutraLime applications with wheat successfully increased wheat quality and yield.
Corn...
Test results show a positive response to broadcast NutraLime.
Grass/Legume...
A 200 lb/ A NutraLime application out-yielded the control by over 2 ton/acre in our first year's testing. |
