DeltaForce
Running a single downforce setting across an entire field causes yield loss because the setting is rarely correct. DeltaForce is an automated row by row downforce control system that measures and adjusts downforce every time there is variability in your field, so your crops will thrive for optimal yields.
Plants Need Fertilizer
Plants don't need fertilizer when the seed is still in the bag, they need the fertilizer while
they are growing. This means it needs to be available for the roots to uptake in the most
important times of the plant's life. In the case of nitrogen and corn, that first important time
is from V4-V8 while the plant is determining the maximum size of the ear that it can produce.
Nitrogen needs to be readily available to the crown roots of the plant during this stage in
order to maximize the yield that can be produced by that plant. A band of nitrogen placed under
the soil surface will move down the soil profile with rains that occur after planting and will
be a few inches deep, right where crown roots can get it when they need it.

Row-by-Row Accuracy
If one row of your planter is in a wheel track from the tractor or from the combine last
fall and needs more downforce in order to maintain depth, the cylinder on that row
applies more force. If at the same time, another row is on very mellow ground and the
weight of the row unit is all that is needed, the cylinder on that row applies no force.
And if a third row on the planter is carrying too much gauge wheel weight in mellow
ground because the weight of the cast iron row unit is more than enough, the cylinder on
that row will lighten that row unit, so that it is not creating compaction.
Every second, these reactions are happening multiple times, making sure that every seed
on every row is at the depth that has been chosen, and in an environment to thrive. Stop
being blindsided by compaction and get the control that only DeltaForce provides.
