Concept AgriTek At Concept AgriTek, we have created a systematic approach to improving soil and plant nutrition year

Concept AgriTek's Philosophy

Concept AgriTek brings a new and innovative philosophy to commercial agriculture. Our concept is to bring products that increase soil and plant health, which in turn increases our customers’ bottom line. We start by using state of the art soil testing software to make precise, customized fertilizer recommendations for each grower. Then, using our exclusive soil healt

h products, we revive soils and get the natural microbial activity going to release tied-up nutrients. Finally, using our customized plant nutrition program, we feed the plant to help it achieve its maximum yield. In the end, our customers achieve their goals while increasing their soil health for the next and future crops.

“I love it.”

That’s how Chris Weaver describes EcoFlux.

He’s using it on every acre of corn and soybeans to help release additional phosphorus already sitting in the soil. And as he pushes for 300 bushel corn, this is one of the tools helping him get there.

Powered by NutriCharge technology, EcoFlux helps support nutrient efficiency from the start. Chris also says it’s one of the best lubricants he’s used for running vacuum planters.

At planting, every detail matters. From seed flow to nutrient availability, EcoFlux helps set the tone early.

Today, we pause to remember and honor the brave men and women who gave everything in service to our country.

Memorial Day is more than a long weekend. It is a day of reflection for the heroes who never made it home, the families who carry their legacy, and the sacrifices that protect the freedoms we enjoy every day.

To all who served, and especially to those who made the ultimate sacrifice, we honor you. Your courage, service, and legacy will never be forgotten.

May we remember. May we honor. May we never forget.

How many times have you tissue tested…
…and by the time results came back, the sprayer was already rolling?

That’s the problem Dalton Russell is talking about.

With LeafTech, our team can get same-day tissue insights right in the field. Instead of combining 8–10 tissue samples into one result, LeafTech allows us to evaluate individual areas across the field to build a better picture of what’s happening.

🌱 Same-day results
🌱 More field visibility
🌱 Better foliar decisions
🌱 Faster response during critical growth stages

Heading into tassel season and early soybean foliar passes, timing matters. LeafTech helps our Agronomists and DSMs build recommendations that fit your operation before the pass happens—not after.

A grower in Southeast Missouri recently reached out with soybean concerns.

Symptoms looked familiar:
🟡 Yellow leaf edges
📉 Stunted growth
🌱 Poor development

The first thought? Potassium deficiency.
But there was a catch…
The field had already received 300 lbs of potash per acre the previous fall.
So our Agronomy Team dug deeper.

Using LeafTech, we compared healthy and affected plants:
Healthy plants: 2.6% potassium
Affected plants: 1.6% potassium
That data changed the conversation.

Our team was able to recommend a targeted management strategy to address the potassium issue and identify additional nutrient deficiencies detected through LeafTech. Sometimes the answer isn’t more fertilizer. It’s better information.

Every Concept AgriTek Agronomist and DSM has access to LeafTech technology to help deliver data-driven recommendations tailored to your operation.

Sometimes the biggest yield robber is the one you can’t see.

Mr. Tim started noticing his farm averages had plateaued. What looked like nutrient deficiencies turned out to be something happening below the soil surface: plant parasitic nematodes.

After soil sampling revealed high nematode pressure, he and the Concept AgriTek team built a management plan using Chitocide, our EPA-registered nematicide designed to help control plant parasitic nematodes and protect yield potential.

And over time, he started seeing those farm averages build again.

“Nematodes are a yield robbing pest… and you’ll never see it.”

When fields plateau and the answers aren’t obvious, looking below the soil surface can make all the difference.

Nitrogen efficiency isn’t just about nitrogen. It’s about the carbon systems supporting it.

Derek Cattoor explains how Concept AgriTek is using multiple carbon sources in sidedress programs to help protect nitrogen throughout the season:

✔ NitroGuard – Carbon-based nitrogen stabilizer
✔ Carbon Rx – Humic acid + amino support
✔ Sweet Success – Additional carbon source and plant energy support

Combined together, these carbon technologies help create more diverse protection around your nitrogen investment.

Current sidedress package:
🌱 NitroGuard
🌱 Carbon Rx
🌱 Sweet Success
🌱 K13
🌱 B10

Applied around V4–V5 for efficient nitrogen delivery.

Nitrogen prices are crazy this year. If you didn’t lock in early… you’re feeling it.

So the question is—

👉 How do you protect that investment?

Derek Cattoor breaks it down:
Not all nitrogen stabilizers are created equal. NitroGuard is a carbon-based solution designed to:
✔ Reduce volatility loss
✔ Stabilize nitrogen at application
✔ Support soil biology—not hurt it

This isn’t just humic acid. This is a proprietary carbon technology built to keep your nitrogen working.

Because every pound lost… is profit gone.

The right product at the right time can make a big difference in the field. That’s why our research agronomists are out putting products to the test in real-world conditions. This time, we’re taking a closer look at a VermiBoost trial in northeast Arkansas, and early signs are looking strong.

Compared to the check, we’re seeing:
✔️ More robust stalks
✔️ Longer, fuller root development
✔️ Higher Brix levels

That’s the kind of response we like to see early in the season. Stronger plants, healthier growth, and a crop that’s off to a solid start!
