Nitragin, Inc. hosted key soybean growers from across the Midwest during their meeting – “Nitragin – Beyond Inoculants”.  The event was held at their headquarters in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.

This two-day event, focused on educational briefings on Nitragin’s new patented LCO Promoter Technology^® by company leadership as well as plot tours and a round table discussion.

Dr. Scott Fleetwood, Vice President of Marketing and Sales said that the fly-in focused on hands-on educational activities. “The goal of this event was two-fold.  First, develop a relationship with growers from key soybean production areas to gain an increased understanding of issues facing today’s growers.  State and national soybean associations selected growers in leadership positions to attend the Nitragin meeting.  The information gathered will allow Nitragin to continue developing innovative new products to help U.S. soybean growers remain competitive in a global economy.  The second goal of the event was to showcase Nitragin’s new soybean product, Optimize^®.  Optimize is a patented technology that uses a natural biological compound to improve early season vigor, soybean stand and yields.” 

Comments from growers indicated that the meeting was very successful.  Attendees indicated that the Optimize presentation and the plot tours near Whitewater, Wisconsin were the key activities in terms of illustrating the impact of Optimize.  The plots, managed by Tim Maloney, owner of  Agri-Tech Consulting, gave the growers a first hand look at the results of using Optimize.  From color and vigor to height and canopy closure, the improvement of the plants treated with Optimize was significant and very visible.
