Farming Video | Unlocking Corn Yield Potential with Biological Tools
27 Jun 251m 51s

In this video, Johnny Verell from XtremeAg shares how he’s using Source and the new Blueprint product from SoundAg to enhance root health and nutrient efficiency in his corn crop. Johnny explains the timing of applications—V3 to V5 stages for optimal results—and how these tools work together to promote phosphorus uptake and stronger root systems. After years of success with Source, Johnny is excited to see how adding Blueprint, a live AMF product, can take his results to the next level while improving ROI.

00:00:00 Johnny Verell, the Extreme Ag. I'm out here today at our field a looking at some plots, and one of the plots we were looking at is our, 00:00:06 our Sound ag plot. You know, we've been using Sound Ag on our farm for four years now, and it's, it's done great for us. 00:00:12 It allows us to do several things that we're wanting to do to be more efficient with our nitrogen 00:00:16 and in our phosphorus, you know, and they got a product called Source. And Source is actually a product 00:00:21 that we spray on top of the corn. We spray this corn V four V five range. So this corn here is supposed to get the application here, 00:00:28 and it, what it does, it, it actually prompts those roots to actually allow the, uh, biology 00:00:33 and the soil, the, uh, fungi and the soil to, to infect the roots and help them be more efficient with phosphorus. 00:00:39 And so roots are a big part of the plant, right? And so Sound Ag also has a product called Blueprint Out this year. 00:00:45 And Blueprint is actually a A MF product. So it's a live fungi product that's going in on the soil that helps promote root growth, 00:00:51 helps absorb the source product when it's applied to the ground too, and infect that plant and infect the root. 00:00:56 So V three, V four is a great timing with us. You can also do it with your hurt or your fungicide shot at tassel. 00:01:02 You can do it then, but what we learned is at V three, V four, V five, somewhere in there is a great time for us because it's always cooler. 00:01:09 We usually have more moisture that time of year, less crop, less, uh, stress on the crop. 00:01:14 So it allows that to really help. And what we've seen for our farmers is better results by doing that. 00:01:18 But if we're able, if we're not able to get it on due to all the wet weather we've had this year, we'll go on at our fungicide application with the product. 00:01:24 But like I said, they got a product out this year called Blueprint, which is a true A MF product. 00:01:29 And we pa we're partnering it, are using it side by side with the source made by Sound Ag. 00:01:34 And we've had great results the last few years. It's always had a ROI on our operation and it's pretty much become a standard practice. 00:01:40 This is the first year for the blueprint piece. Using those together, uh, it's gonna help unlock the next level of that application. 53 00:01:47.435 --> 00:01:47.555
