UNLOK is a proprietary blend of plant nutrients, soil penetrants, and biologically available oxidant sources in a liquid form.
"The first year that I used UNLOK on my corn crop, I saw more root development. The kernels were more developed. My fields are completely rejuvenated and over the last two years it just seems like the soil is opening up. Now the water soaks down instead of pooling". TVH - Wendell, ID
"Usually during the late summer, I never turn off the water, and certainly never during the 100 degree weather. But I had a soil scientist over here using probes and he told me 'You gotta turn the water off.' This is the first time that our soil scientist has ever told me that. Those agronomists - all they ever want is more water, more water, but this time he's jumping up and down saying, 'turn it off, turn it off'. I think this corn is further along than it's ever been. Typically we get 30 tons per acre, but it looks like to me that we'll be getting 35. That's an increase of $100 per acre in addition to the water savings." BG - Jerome, ID
"Normally I would take my alfalfa out after three years but it looks so good that I'm going on my fifth year. I haven't seen hay crops like this since I started raising hay. I have been able to drastically reduce my fertilizer and my dry spots don't burn anymore. The way my farm lays, you can look out and see all the shallow spots but not since I have started using UNLOK. By mid-July I was already getting my third cutting while most other farmers were just finishing up their second. I will be an UNLOK user for a long time to come." AL - Jerome, ID
Soil Management
What is UNLOK?
UNLOK is a proprietary blend of plant nutrients, soil penetrants, and biologically available oxidant sources in a liquid form. The specially formulated combination of ingredients has proven effective at stimulating beneficial microbial populations in order to enhance oxidation processes and release nutrients that are locked up in organic matter. Upon addition of UNLOK in a microbially rich environment, the resulting biochemical response enables naturally-occuring microbial populations to proliferate exponentially..two become four, four become eight, eight become sixteen....and so on. The resulting increase in soil microbial life can lead to better nutrient release from nutrients that have become "locked up" in organic matter, improved aggregate stability, hydraulic conductivity, and crop potential. Healthy soil translates into better yields and improved profit margins for growers.

How can UNLOK improve my bottom line?
UNLOK has proven effective in a variety of applications through a series of field trials, university testing, and farmer experiences. On agricultural soils, UNLOK has resulted in improved water infiltration, better nutrient use efficiency, less runoff, and higher yields. In wastewater environments, UNLOK has proven effective at reducing odors and volatile emissions while speeding up solids digestion and improving the fertilizer value of wastewater for field crops. As fertilizer prices continue to increase, UNLOK helps reduce the inputs needed from commercial fertilizers by utilizing more of the nutrients that are present in soil and wastewater. In some cases, growers have reduced their commercial fertilizer inputs by 50% using UNLOK and improving their irrigation techniques. When UNLOK is incorporated into soil or wastewater environments with a high C:N ratio, the nutrients that are unavailable to plants or "immobialized" are freed up by microbial processes. This translates into cost savings for farmers as the "unlocked" nutrients can be factored in to your nutrient management plan. UNLOK also uses soil penetrants which helps the nutrients in UNLOK penetrate the soil and aid in reducing compaction, enabling air and water to filter through the soil profile.

What are the primary areas that UNLOK can help my operation?
UNLOK is primarily used to improve soil conditions for field crops and reducing odors and sludge buildup from dairy and swine operations. However, UNLOK has also proven effective in the Golf & Turf industry to help reduce thatch buildup, speed up seasonal transitions, achieve faster grow-ins, and improve turf and sod quality. In addition, UNLOK has proven effective in the Lawn & Garden industry to help lawns and plants develop stronger roots. Wherever there are high concentrations of microbes and depleted oxygen conditions, UNLOK can help. To learn more about the many uses of UNLOK, please click on the relevant section above.
Unlok dairy lagoon treatment formula provides a cost effective solution for both odor reduction and waste water fertilizer maximization. By delivering an increased oxidant source to naturally-occurring bacteria, Unlok enhances the facultative microbial process without expensive equipment or addition of foreign bacteria. The Unlok liquid formula is applied directly into the primary influent site of wastewater lagoon or with the barn flush water. Dairymen across America have experienced the following benefits of Unlok is incorporated into their in wastewater system.
For the past 6 years, Unlok has proven how it can maximize profits for dairymen across America.
