Put last season’s residue to work.
A broadcast residue-management pass for corn residue and wheat stubble, built around the crop material already in your field.
Corn residue
A fit for heavy stalks and stubble.
Wheat stubble
Put your postharvest residue program to work after wheat harvest, too.
Target the residue
Place the product where it can contact crop residue.
Broadcast application
32 fl oz per acre, following current manufacturer directions.
Why Growers Use It
Crop residue is not waste. It contains carbon and nutrients that can keep working for the next crop, but heavy stalks can also create planting problems, hair-pinning and slower nutrient release. Meltdown is designed to help move that residue through the biological breakdown process.
What It Brings to the Acre
BW Fusion positions Meltdown as a consortium of naturally occurring microbes, organic acids and nitrogen applied directly to crop stubble. The biological activity is intended to accelerate residue digestion and nutrient cycling so the field is easier to manage and more of the residue value can move back into the system.
What This Product Is Built to Do
Two windows. One residue-management goal.
The corn year below is one example. Meltdown also fits a postharvest residue pass after wheat. Highlighted stages show application windows.

After harvest
Apply to corn residue or wheat stubble as part of your postharvest program. Time the pass to your crop’s harvest, including summer wheat harvest.
Early in the next crop
BW Fusion also lists early post-emergence timing. Confirm tank-mix compatibility and current directions for your planned pass.

Rate, Timing & Placement
Rate: 32 oz/ac broadcast.
Timing: Post-harvest or early season according to current BW Fusion product information.
Placement: Apply where good residue contact can be achieved. Follow current manufacturer directions and tank-mix requirements.
Analysis & Product Makeup
Meltdown is a biological residue-management formulation. BW Fusion describes it as a combination of naturally occurring microbes, organic acids and nitrogen. Refer to current manufacturer documents for the complete formulation and handling information.
Research & Economics
Research / Performance
BW Fusion reports faster residue degradation, nutrient release and improved plantability in its Meltdown materials. The company also publishes nutrient-release and residue-management research. Treat those figures as manufacturer evidence to evaluate on your own acres rather than as guaranteed field outcomes.
Cost / ROI
BW Fusion states that nutrient release from treated residue can represent up to about $50/ac in phosphorus and potassium value. The useful comparison is your own residue load, fertilizer value and treatment cost. Use the EZ Custom Ag residue tool to put those numbers into your own field context.
Where It Fits
Meltdown is an especially strong fit where residue is already a management issue or where you want the residue pass to do more than simply make stalks disappear. Pair it with your residue level, rotation and fertility goals, then leave a comparison strip so the program can earn its place.

Frequently Asked Questions
What rate is BW Meltdown applied?
BW Fusion’s current product information lists a 32 oz/ac broadcast rate.
When should Meltdown be applied?
BW Fusion positions Meltdown for post-harvest residue applications and also notes spring or early-season use. Follow current product directions and tank-mix guidance.
What residue does Meltdown work on?
BW Fusion markets Meltdown for crop residue broadly, including the cellulose, lignin and chitin components of stalks and stubble.
Can Meltdown help with planting conditions?
BW Fusion lists reduced stubble, less hair-pinning and improved plantability among the intended residue-management benefits. Actual response depends on residue load and environment.
How do I put a dollar value on residue breakdown?
Use the EZ Custom Ag residue calculator to estimate the nutrient value in your residue, then compare that potential value with treatment cost and your field-management goals.
