Why should you apply AgriTec’s Bio-Act to hay this growing season?
Well, as the growing season ramps up, hay producers across the country are looking for smart ways to maximize forage yield, improve plant health, and stretch every dollar in their fertilizer programs. At AgriTec International, we understand that your time, budget, and productivity matter. Bio-Act Micro-Nutrient & Humic Acid Blend is one of our most versatile, proven solutions for hay fields during active growth. Whether you’re producing alfalfa, timothy, bermudagrass, or mixed grass hay, Bio-Act is the boost your fields need right now.
What Is Bio-Act?
Bio-Act is a nutritional plant supplement that delivers a powerful combination of essential micronutrients, trace minerals, and humic acid, formulated to invigorate plant growth and soil health. This liquid solution can be applied as a soil treatment, seed start, or foliar feed, making it an incredibly flexible tool for farmers managing busy cutting cycles or irregular weather.
Each gallon of Bio-Act contains:
- 1.0% Total Nitrogen (N)
- 1.0% Soluble Potash (K₂O)
- 0.1% Boron (B)
- 0.02% Cobalt (Co)
- 0.3% Manganese (Mn)
- 0.04% Molybdenum (Mo)
- 0.4% Zinc (Zn)
This blend not only feeds the crop directly, but also improves the soil’s ability to retain and deliver nutrients effectively.
Why Is Bio-Act Ideal for Hay?
Hay fields are in a constant state of regrowth and recovery throughout the growing season. This makes it vital to ensure plants have access to immediately available nutrition, not slow-release or bound-up nutrients that may never reach the root zone. Here’s how Bio-Act supports hay fields:
- Accelerated Photosynthesis – Bio-Act promotes chlorophyll production, increasing photosynthetic rates. This means greener, thicker, more vigorous regrowth after each cutting.
Enhanced Soil Biology – The humic acid in Bio-Act improves soil structure and feeds beneficial microbes, which play a critical role in nutrient cycling and moisture retention.
Boosted Plant Immunity – Micronutrients like zinc, manganese, and boron support plant enzyme activity and disease resistance, reducing stress from cutting, heat, and drought.
Easy Application, Immediate Impact – Apply Bio-Act by foliar spray during active growth or after cutting. You’ll see visible response in foliage health and regrowth within days.
Better Paired with Liquid Calcium
Calcium is the cornerstone of plant cell division and nutrient uptake. Without enough available calcium, even the best fertilizers underperform. Most soils have bound calcium that’s not plant-accessible, especially in low pH or high magnesium soils. While Bio-Act is a stand-alone powerhouse, pairing it with liquid calcium, such as Pro-Cal or Advanced-Cal, takes your fertilizer program to the next level.
Why Calcium and Not Limestone?
Unlike traditional lime, which takes 9–12 months to break down, AgriTec’s Pro-Cal and Advanced-Cal act fast, raising soil pH and unlocking nutrients in just a few weeks. Pro-Cal increases calcium base saturation and raises pH, helping nutrients in Bio-Act move efficiently into the plant. Advanced-Cal takes it further with a built-in micro-nutrient package and carbon-based organic matter to supercharge microbial activity and protein production.
When and How Do I Apply Bio-Act?
Bio-Act is designed for maximum flexibility and minimal hassle!
Application Method | When to Apply | Rate Per Acre |
Foliar Spray (Boom or Pivot) | Vegetative growth or post-cutting | 1 quart to ½ gallon |
In-Furrow | At planting or over the top | 1 quart to ½ gallon |
Aerial | Ideal for large acreage | 1 quart to ½ gallon |
You do not need to apply after every cutting to see results, but doing so can give a boost to regrowth. For many hay farmers, one application early in the season sets the tone for a productive year.
Proven in the Field
Bio-Act is trusted by farmers across the country, not only for its results but for its cost-efficiency. Compared to generic foliar or soil micronutrient programs, Bio-Act delivers a powerful nutrient package with humic support that’s difficult to replicate.
Many producers report:
- Increased hay tonnage
- Greener fields sooner after cutting
- More consistent stands between rain events
- Improved animal palatability due to higher nutrient density
And remember: adding just 2 gallons of Pro-Cal per acre is roughly equivalent to applying a ton of lime, but with faster, more consistent results.
What Are You Waiting For?
If you’re producing hay and want fuller stands, higher yields, and faster regrowth, it’s time to apply AgriTec’s Bio-Act to hay this growing season. As temperatures climb and moisture levels fluctuate, your crop needs every edge it can get. With Bio-Act alone, you’ll get the nutritional support needed for performance. But when paired with Pro-Cal or Advanced-Cal, you’ll unleash the full potential of your soil and your plants.
