13-Bushel Yield Increase: Lessons from a Harvest Trial
6 Dec 242m 19s

Kelly and Mike discuss the results of a trial with Vive Crop Protection's encapsulation technology. Much to Kelly's surprise, the trial demonstrated a 13-bushel-per-acre yield gain.

00:00:00 Hi, this is Kelly here from Extreme Ag. I'm here with my good friend, business partner and agronomist Mike ENGs with Integrated Ag Solutions. 00:00:07 We're going over some final yield results today. We finished our harvest last week, and this is one I'm really surprised about. 00:00:13 That's why I brought Evans in because this is a very progressive company, new technology to us. 00:00:19 It's Vive is the name of the company and it's the nanosphere polymer technology that, uh, encapsulates it's a polymer. 00:00:29 I'm gonna let Evans explain it to you a little bit because this is, this is pretty helpful to me, but we get it work good. 00:00:34 Yeah. They, when they came and we have gains in this trial and, and kind of gave em, asked us what our issues were 00:00:41 and kind of gave 'em some list of, you know, was a problem. So, um, so 00:00:48 they kind list saw a profile for us and we ran their, their by fender and there it's next side. And I'm like, well, it's just, it's just 00:00:56 by phone ring or contact. He's like, yeah, but these use a standup, polymer, polymer, uh, technology to encapsulate the ingredient 00:01:04 and really keep it stable and protected and Make it more efficient, Make, makes it more efficient and, and it really helps it with, uh, mixing up, 00:01:11 mixing in the tank and stuff like that. And, uh, which such science, there could be some times where guys run into issues with mixing and, 00:01:21 and, uh, we ran, it worked well and obviously the yield bushel gains, uh, that we saw in the trial speak for it. So 00:01:29 Absolutely 13 bushel yield gain on this. A lot of the trials that we've done together, this is year number five 00:01:35 and we've done is enough trials now. We've gotta get up over a hundred trials that we've done together and I feel like I can pick out the 00:01:42 ones down's gonna work down, one's gonna work. That's not gonna work. I gotta tell you, I, I thought this was one 00:01:47 of those snake oil type comments, but here we go. It, it made the products we're already using by, you know, whatever label it comes under it, 00:01:56 it made the bi work better, made it more efficient to a 13, which year game. And I, I think that shows everybody how the attention 00:02:03 to detail looking at your water source, looking at different technologies to make sure the products you are using are working up 00:02:11 to their capability, are strong, known before and, and sphe technology showed up to us 00:02:17.545 --> 00:02:18.685
