Shift Into Higher Yields
Clutch™ is proven nutrition uniquely formulated for the Pacific Northwest to aid in photosynthesis enhancement and plant health.
up to 20% Yield Loss due to PLS in Wheat
heightened disease suppression & water use efficiency
- Clutch™ is a premium nutrition trifecta formulated for the Pacific Northwest to aid in photosynthesis enhancement and disease suppression.
- Formulated with a proprietary corrosion inhibitor, Clutch is an immediately available form of chloride for optimal plant health.
- Clutch provides a unique and tank-mix friendly blend of chloride, potassium, and nitrogen designed as the below ground partner to foliar Rally™ applications.
- Optimized for PNW crops, Clutch delivers a higher volume of chloride with improved cold tolerance as compared to KCl.
10+ bu/ac yield gain by adding Cl to
deficient PNW soils
PNW soils are often chloride deficient, leading to chlorosis and physiological leaf spot.
Deficient potassium reduces crop standability and water use efficiency.
Frequently Asked Questions
What causes physiological leaf spot?
In the Pacific Northwest, physiological leaf spot is particularly prevalent due to chloride deficient soils.
Research has shown that physiologic leaf spot does not respond to applications of fungicides. Moreover,
symptoms are reduced and grain yield is improved by applying chloride fertilizer to the soil before planting
and before flag leaf emergence.
Why is chloride important in wheat crops?
Chloride is an essential nutrient for photosynthesis. Proper chloride fertilization helps deter plant disease;
aids in the transport of nutrients such as potassium, calcium, and magnesium; and also helps move and
retain water in the plant cells.
Why should I foliar feed my crop?
Foliar feeding is one of the most efficient methods of supplying nutrients during critical growth stages and completes the “balanced diet” the crop needs to grow and develop. Proper foliar liquid fertilizers prevent leaf chlorosis and encourage photosynthetic growth by giving the plant what it needs from the top down.
What makes the nutritional trifecta in Clutch beneficial to PNW crops?
Chloride deficiency is particularly prevalent in Pacific Northwest soils resulting in widespread
Physiological Leaf Spot disease. The unique combination of chloride, potassium, and nitrogen in Clutch
provides ideal chloride levels with a boost of potassium and nitrogen to give the plant a robust
nutritional package.
