Set Your Strategy for Foliar Season
Posted on April 19, 2017
With foliar season in full swing, there are a few fundamental techniques you can count on to help defeat deficiencies and grow ROI:
1. The value of tissue testing
2. The power of CropCoach
The Value of Tissue Testing
Plant tissue analysis helps identify ways to use nutrients more efficiently. Unseen nutrient imbalances or toxicities can be identified, as well. It also measures the efficacy of fertilization and nutrient programs, as well as the levels of nutrients such as, copper, iron, sulfur and others not observed in routine soil tests.
Sampling earlier in the season identifies deficiencies in time to make corrective nutrient applications, helping to reach yield goals and manage economic risks. No matter the crop, plant tissue analysis is worthwhile to help determine nutrient needs. As crop values continue to rise, tools such as this are essential to fiscal and yield success.
For more information on tissue testing, contact your local dealer.
