Bad weather is one of the most frustrating and expensive variables in farming. One week it’s too wet to plant. Next, it’s too dry for seeds to germinate. Cloudy, cold, or stormy stretches can reduce sunlight, slow nutrient uptake, and stall plant growth completely. It’s a challenge that affects farmers in every region, and one that can cut directly into your bottom line.
AgriTec International completely understands how critical it is to act fast when weather turns against you. So if you want to bounce back from bad weather, use Bio-Act and Pro-Sul! They’re both engineered to help farmers recover quickly from extreme weather and optimize crop growth, even in low-light or saturated conditions.
Bad Weather Disrupts Crops
Weather extremes like drought, flooding, and prolonged cloud cover can throw your fertility program off course. Here’s how it impacts your crop:
- Cloudy or cool conditions reduce photosynthesis, slowing down the plant’s energy production.
- Saturated soils lower oxygen levels and lock up nutrients like phosphorus, potassium, and sulfur
- Dry, compacted soil restricts nutrient movement and uptake by the roots.
- Sudden shifts in temperature stress the plant and weaken its immune response.
These problems lead to:
- Nutrient tie-up or leaching
- Reduced root growth and weak tillering
- Delayed flowering and fruit development
- Greater susceptibility to disease
- Decreased overall yields
With limited time in the growing season, farmers can’t afford to wait for ideal conditions. That’s where targeted liquid fertilizer solutions like Bio-Act and Pro-Sul make a measurable difference.
Bio-Act
Bio-Act is a liquid soil and plant stimulant that boosts recovery and growth by delivering critical micro-nutrients, humic acid, and carbon energy. It can be applied as a soil treatment, foliar feed, or seed starter, depending on the stage of the crop and soil condition.
What Bio-Act Delivers:
Humic Acid – Enhances microbial life and soil structure, helping unlock bound-up nutrients.
Boron (0.1%) – Essential for reproductive growth and cell division.
Manganese (0.3%) – Crucial for photosynthesis and activation of key plant enzymes.
Zinc (0.4%) – Stimulates root development and hormone production.
Cobalt & Molybdenum – Aid in nitrogen fixation and increase microbial function in the soil.
Post-Weather Benefits of Bio-Act:
Boosts photosynthetic activity, even during extended periods of cloud cover.
Adds high-carbon energy to the soil, reinvigorating root zones.
Enhances drought resistance and helps plants recover from wilting or heat stress.
Improves soil microbial populations, encouraging natural nutrient cycling.
Strengthens plant immunity and encourages faster vegetative development.
Application Guidelines:
Rate: 1 quart to 1/2 gallon per acre
Timing: Apply early in the season or immediately after weather-related stress to aid in crop rebound and root recovery.
Pro-Sul
Pro-Sul is a smart solution for restoring fertility after weather damage. It’s a high-performance liquid fertilizer containing 12% ammoniacal nitrogen and 26% sulfur in thiosulfate form. This dual nutrient blend is critical for both immediate growth and long-term nutrient availability.
What Pro-Sul Delivers:
Provides ammoniacal nitrogen, which remains plant-available longer in cooler or saturated soils.
Delivers thiosulfate sulfur, which gradually converts into sulfate-sulfur over 1-3 weeks, matching crop uptake timing.
Breaks up nutrient lock-up, allowing better access to phosphorus and micronutrients.
Enhances soil redox conditions, helping restore oxygen levels and improve structure in compacted or waterlogged fields.
Improves the balance between nitrogen and sulfur, which is vital for protein production and overall plant health.
Post-Weather Benefits of Pro-Sul:
Increases uptake of iron, zinc, manganese, and copper, especially after rain-induced leaching or tie-up.
Supports root system development and early shoot growth in stressed plants.
Promotes strong vegetative growth and improves yield consistency across uneven or weather-damaged fields.
Application Guidelines:
Rate: 6 to 10 gallons per acre
Timing: Best applied after heavy rains, flooding, compaction, or in cool early-season conditions. It’s also an ideal blend partner for early vegetative applications or starter fertilizer programs.
Bio-Act & Pro-Sul Work Better Together
When used in combination, Bio-Act and Pro-Sul provide a balanced, nutrient-rich recovery strategy for crops affected by weather setbacks.
- Stimulates plant energy production (photosynthesis)
- Improves root strength and carbon availability
- Increases drought resilience
- Recharges microbial life in the root zone
- Delivers fast-acting sulfur and nitrogen for nutrient recovery
- Breaks up nutrient tie-up and improves nutrient mobility
- Enhances early shoot and root development
- Improves performance in saturated or poorly aerated soils
Together, these products work to:
- Restore nutrient flow and biological function in the soil
- Restart plant metabolism and accelerate recovery
- Promote uniform growth across stressed and non-stressed areas
- Maximize yield potential even after delays caused by weather
Act Fast for Higher ROI
Every lost day of growth translates into lost bushels at harvest. You don’t have to wait for sunny skies to regain momentum. AgriTec’s Bio-Act and Pro-Sul allow you to act now, restarting growth and rebuilding soil fertility while conditions are still less than ideal.
Whether you’re coming off a rainy spring, battling midsummer heat, or recovering from poor emergence due to cold soils, these two liquid fertilizer products provide the tools you need to reclaim your growing season.
Every farm is different, and so is every weather event. That’s why we recommend a personalized recovery strategy. Our soil advisors will help you assess your needs and build a plan that fits your operation’s timing and crop goals. So if you want to bounce back from bad weather, use Bio-Act and Pro-Sul, two of AgriTec’s best tools in soil recovery.
