Chad Henderson looks at a V5 to V10 foliar fertility trial in corn, using tissue and sap testing to help make more precise nutrient decisions. Now they’ll wait for harvest to see what the crop has to say.

00:00:00 So we're here at the AgroLiquid 10, actually. Caught up with y'all, and it's good to see some folks from AgroLiquid. We got a trial going on down there, and the application we was going to 00:00:08 make was going to be a foliar, and it was fertility like we always do, V5 to V10 range. 00:00:15 What exactly are we trying to prove when we do that? Yeah. So it's one of those, how can we get a pass, right? Yeah. 00:00:20 That V5 to V10, we're probably making a herbicide pass, maybe even an early fungicide pass. So what can we get in the tank to go with it, right? 00:00:27 So potassium and micronutrients, man. That's what we're looking to go after. You know what? And if we're early enough to do the herbicide, then we're going to 00:00:33 affect the rows around. If we're late enough and we want to get something in that V10 range, and we're heading into trying to load that thing 00:00:41 up for BT, then we're looking at Link. So it's just all according to what you're trying to do at that point, and then your micronutrients may shift just a little bit. 00:00:50 Just kind of knowing what you need, and every field's not the same, just putting pieces in it that fit, right? 00:00:55 Well, right. And coming in and doing some sap testing and tissue testing. We're able to use those tools to come in and make that application and be 00:01:02 precise with our nutrient app. Yeah, and you know most farmers know what they're short in. Yeah. 00:01:06 Whether it's going to be a little bit more zinc or maybe it's a potassium problem or whatever, and just trying to tailor fit those, which Micro 00:01:13 500 was in that. And it always does a good job just kind of covering a lot of bases- 00:01:18 Right ... on the micro side. Yeah, and then we threw some FertiRain in there as well, which is, again, that kind of NPK plus that full micro pack to kind of really boost that crop at that big 00:01:27 growth stage. Yep. So I'm looking forward to the results on this. There'll be another video coming out when we harvest, then another one with 00:01:32 results. So it's going to be a good deal. We always have good luck with AgroLiquid products. So Ryan, until we run the combine, we'll see you. 00:01:39 Exactly. Appreciate that. All 00:01:40.180 --> 00:01:45.359
