Nachurs Alpine Solutions Acetate Technology Nachurs Alpine Solutions (NAS), a division of Wilbur- Ellis, has received two patents from the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office for its potassium acetate technology. This technology is a method of fertilizing an agricultural crop using an environmentally friendly and versatile high-potassium-content liquid fertilizer. Specifically, these patents pertain to the use and application of potassium acetate, either alone or mixed with other nutrients, such as nitrogen and phosphate. Potassium is required by a growing plant to stimulate early growth, increase protein production, and activate enzyme and hormone systems within the plant. These systems impact the plant's ability to withstand biotic and abiotic stresses and improve the plant's resistance to diseases and insects. Potassium also increases the efficiency of water use and transforms sugars to starch. Additionally, potassium acetate results in lower phytotoxicity damage compared to other sources of potassium for liquid fertilizer products. It can be applied in a variety of ways.

Amity 2720 Sugarbeet Harvester The new 2720 sugarbeet harvester from Amity Technology is a 12-row harvester that utilizes a higher-volume scrub tower, Dynamic Chain Management, ISOBUS active depth control, newly designed maintenance access doors, and an option for larger tires—or even tracks. The redesigned scrub tower is the standout feature to the 2720. The new, widened path that harvested beets follow to the top of the machine can hold up to 31 percent more beets, creating the potential for increased throughput during harvest. Dynamic Chain Management allows the harvester to handle almost anything from the thinnest stands and lightest tonnage, to more than the heaviest tonnage per acre growers can raise today. The 2720 will now have the option for 900/60R32 tires or a 30- by 67-inch track system. Installed software on the new harvester will allow optional Active Depth Control to work with any ISOBUS terminal. New side doors on the 2720 also give easier access to maintenance points and adjustments, making it quicker to get back to harvest. Contact Amity Technology at www.amitytech.com.
