Control white mold and other diseases with better coverage
The El Nino year of 2015 has created challenging conditions for agronomic management to the Midwest. El Nino years bring cool and wet conditions to the Midwest, which mean trouble for soybean growers. White mold is a fungus that thrives in these types of conditions and infects the plant in the reproductive stages. Entry sites…
360 SOILSCAN: Comparable Accuracy to Traditional Labs
Do you know how much nitrogen is in your field? As the season progresses and conditions change – especially with heavy rainfall events – knowing in real-time how much N is left is a huge advantage. 360 SOILSCAN, an in-field nitrate testing system, gives you more control so you know how much N you need…
Nitrogen Placement Matters: Side-by-Side Comparison
Sometimes it is impressive to see visual proof of new yield management practices, especially when the side-by-side comparison is so easy to spot. That’s the case with a recent side-by-side trial done by one of our dealers, Brad Rocke of Agri-Management Solutions, Inc. in Wanatah, Ind. Rocke and his team ran a side-by-side trial to…
