Speed up residue breakdown with BW Fusion Meltdown

Prairie Ag Solutions • September 23, 2025

Meltdown is BW Fusion’s residue digestion product made with a consortium of naturally occurring microbes. It’s designed to break down cellulose, lignin, and chitin in crop stubble so those tied-up nutrients cycle back into the soil for next season. 


Why It Matters After Harvest


  • Faster residue breakdown for a cleaner seedbed and easier planting. 
  • Nutrient return as residue decomposes, supporting N, P, and K availability. BW Fusion cites a 64% increase in nutrient value per acre in independent studies and potential savings up to $50 per acre on P and K. 


When To Apply


  • Primary timing: Immediately post-harvest in the fall, while residue is fresh and field access is good. 
  • Alternative timing: Early spring before planting if fall passes were missed. 


How To Apply


  • Rate: 1 quart per acre (32 oz/ac) per the product label and program sheets. Always follow the current label. 
  • Carrier and coverage: Apply in sufficient water for uniform residue coverage using ground rigs. Incorporation is not required, but contact with residue matters. (General guidance from BW Fusion materials that emphasize residue contact and tank-mix readiness.) 
  • Tank mix: Marketed as tank-mix ready for various residue scenarios. Check local compatibility and label directions before mixing.

At Prairie Ag Solutions, we know that agriculture never truly takes a break. There is always another chore to do, a crop to scout, or a decision to make. But as we move into late summer and harvest approaches, it is important to remember that your well-being is just as critical as your yield. Mental health challenges are more common in agriculture than many realize. According to the American Farm Bureau Federation, 52 percent of farmers say they experience more mental health challenges today than they did just a few years ago. Studies also show that farmers are among the most likely occupations to experience stress-related conditions such as anxiety and depression. Long hours, financial pressures, and isolation all play a role.  Taking time to rest is not a luxury. It is an essential part of staying strong for the season ahead. Whether it is a weekend away, an afternoon with your family, or simply stepping away from the routine for a few hours, giving yourself permission to rest can reduce stress, improve clarity, and prevent burnout. At Prairie Ag Solutions, we support more than just your agronomic decisions. We care about your health, your family, and your future. As harvest nears, take care of yourself now so you are ready when it matters most. A healthy farm starts with a healthy farmer. Do not wait to prioritize yourself.
