NW Iowa
Maneuver Rate: 6 grams/Acre
Heavy Hog Manure History

  • Better overall color and plant health

  • Less cannibalization of lower leaves

  • Larger overall root mass with increased fine root hair proliferation

  • Kernel fill & depth was drastically enhanced with Maneuver

  • Note increases plant health and stalk integrity for mid-October

  • Maneuver promotes season-long nutrient availability and plant uptake

  • Greater ear fill to date

Ear Leaf Sap Nutrient Load Increase with Maneuver

  • Average results of sap analysis conducted on 8/5/24 and 8/26/24

  • Ear leaf pulled from 60 plants in a row in both treated and untreated segments

  • Graph shows % increase in nutrient content with Maneuver treatment vs. check

  • The ear leaf sap content highlights the ability of  Maneuver to enhance access to critical nutrients

  • The value of Maneuver isn’t just one single nutrient, it’s a holistic approach

Phospholipid fatty acid (PLFA) Testing

  • PLFA Testing was conducted to determine if any substantial differences were noted in soil microbial populations

  • It was noted that the total bacteria count increased by 34% in the Maneuver treatment

  • The overall microbial soil health “ranking” of this soil was also deemed to be improved from poor to average
