Review AccountBushels Matter: Start Strong
Feb 26, 2025
Spring brings a fresh start every year, and choosing the right inputs gets the season off to a strong start.
Yield potential is at its highest the day seed goes in the ground, but from that point on, bushels are dependent on the many variables of the season. Adding USA 500™ to your starter fertilizer brings “a lot of value” to the field, helping boost those bushels from day one, according to Kevin Carlson, Federated’s agronomy sales manager.
“We’ve seen some very nice, consistent results with USA 500,” he said, adding that “it gets the corn off to the very best start possible.”
USA 500 is a convenient package of multiple yield-protecting ingredients that can be added to most forms of liquid starter fertilizer. Every 48 oz. applied per acre provides:
- 8 oz. of phosphate protection (to keep it plant available as the seed takes root)
- 2 oz. of biostimulant
- 21 oz. of EDTA [chelated] zinc
- 6 oz. of a fulvic acid component
USA 500 “has become a mainstay [at Federated] for starter fertilizer additives,” said Mike Slater, Federated agronomy sales rep in Isanti. It performs consistently and protects the crop from early season stresses. It offers the following benefits:
USA 500 is one more way to protect your crop’s yield potential – because bushels matter. Contact your Federated Agronomist soon. It’s not too early to order USA 500 for this spring. (See USA 500 label here.)

- Promotes early season root growth, vigor and better overall plant structure.
- Enhances and protects nutritional components of applied starter fertilizers.
- Helps release phosphate tied-up in soil.
- Increases availability of nitrogen, sulfur and other nutrients in the soil (see fact sheet).
