00:00 We're out here looking at some corn herbicide trials today. Clint, do you want to tell us what we have going on in this field? 00:00:04 Yeah. So this field was planted mid-April, laid Intrava DX with Moccasin 2 down as my pre-emergent. 00:00:15 Next to it, our standard we was doing was Anthem MAX again here. Put this in a different location. 00:00:21 We did Intrava DX last year, really liked it. It was in some hill ground and cover crop ground. Had great season-long weed 00:00:29 control. So moved to a conventional field, a flatter field we farm here. Really happy. We've six weeks in a wet spring, cool 00:00:37 spring, yo-yoing temperatures, and clean as a whistle. So I sprayed my post two days ago, but was really just laying down another 00:00:47 layer of residual because we were so- Yeah. How did it look when you came out for your post? Yeah. Nothing, maybe a little bit on my edges- 00:00:54 Sure ... in some of my swags or ditch areas. But other than that, just really, really clean. Seeing some dead carcasses out here and just- 00:01:01 Yes ... giving that little extra boost. Absolutely. Nice. Yep. So really happy with it. We'll be checking back in as the 00:01:08 season goes on. I'm watching weed control breaks. I think we got another wet spell coming here, so always puts herbicides to the test. But from last year, been really happy with the Intrava DX. 00:01:20 Probably my biggest thing we struggle with, especially on this flat ground, is waterhemp. 00:01:24 Yep. And I feel like it does a great job there. Yeah. So with waterhemp being something that, as you know and I'm sure you've struggled with, has 00:01:32 high resistance to a lot of the herbicides we use, Intrava DX being imazapyr, metribuzin brings that kind of new AI to the marketplace to help 00:01:40 combat some of those issues, and it sounds like it's doing what we're seeing. It's doing what we want. 00:01:45 That's right. Doing great. So we'll be checking back in on this trial. 00:01:48.980 --> 00:01:49.400
