We have experienced many different forms of weather this spring. The crops in the field are speaking it out loudly. One issue with a wet spring is how much of the fertilizer placed early on has leached away. With the cool weather, symptoms are magnified to what the plant is lacking. A person can identify many deficiencies visually but one will not know how in depth the issue is. Sending in plant tissue samples is one way that a person can get an accurate read for what is going on with the plant. Once we pull a tissue sample from the field, we can get the results back within 3-4 days. The system we are utilizing is called Megalab. The system will send back what your results are with recommendations. The recommendations will spell out what product to utilize and the reason why. If you have any field that looks to be behind, I urge you to contact your Panhandle Agronomist and get the testing done as soon as you can. We can't waste any time and allow the crop to sit idle. We are too far behind with heat units as is.
There are many different ways to supplement a crop in the field. We have foliar products that can be ran with your herbicide, we have side dress machines, and we have injectors to utilize to apply through a pivot. Whatever fits your need, we can supply it to you to get the job done.
