Combatting root knot nematodes in Cotton with a Biological

00:00 We're here today talking about the results of a company we started working with this year called Holganix. 00:04 There's a lot of different biological companies out there. Didn't really have a positive outlook on it. 00:12 We don't get a lot of reaction out of biologicals in our farm because of years of repetitive use of poultry litter. 00:18 So we've got a lot of biology there. Anyway, we did a post herbicide application on the rice, did a post application on cotton. 00:24 You know, it's supposed to attack the root knot nematode. When I heard that, a light went off in my head. 00:29 One of our biggest limiting factors on this lighter soils is root knot nematodes. 00:32 Whether it's beans, cotton, corn, corn's not supposed to be affected by root knot. It is a host, got the data back on the rice, 00:39 didn't see a return on it. We're gonna try it again next year because we feel like that the application timing on 00:45 rice needs to be different. Now let's talk about cotton. Couldn't tell a whole lot of difference as far as the amount 00:50 of bowl and it got time to harvest. It was 54 pounds. You know, 54 pounds is, you know, 45 to $50 an acre. Definitely got a return out 00:57 of the wholeganics product in the cotton. Put it in the, probably the worst root, not nematode situation to have shine like new money. 01:03 Very excited to try this Again, we're gonna do it on a larger scale. It really showed out. For me to get a result out 01:08 of a biological is a big deal, and probably gonna look at it on some other crops too.
