00:00:00 All right. So it's Chad Henderson here. I'm here with Stream Ag here with Burt Riggins concept. Agritech. Burt, what we gonna talk about today? 00:00:09 Well, as challenging as the weather's been this, this season, I mean, some parts of the world are drowning, some parts are burning up. 00:00:16 I thought it'd be a good time to talk about stress mitigation. It's funny, when we're standing in the field 00:00:20 and we're looking across the field at another field, we've got there and that's actually a field that I do for, that's like my playground. 00:00:27 Mm-hmm. That field is like what we're looking at and y'all can't see it, but it's big old yellow spots in it. And that's supposed to be like a high yield field Bert, 00:00:33 that's out on that one, ain't it? Yeah. You just, I mean, out here in this part of the world with this topography, the clay that you have, 00:00:42 if you've got any kind of depression, it's real hard to get rid of that water. Yeah. So, you know, 00:00:47 You know when it's good, it's good when it, it's real hard to get rid of it when it's not too much either. 00:00:51 'cause it'll plant will use it right up, you know? That's right. But the big thing that me and Burt's gonna work on this year, 00:00:55 and we've been working on for several years, and, and you know what? He helps with the corn program for sure. 00:01:00 But man, we've been like, we gotta bur in our side for these double crop beans. We do. You know? Um, 00:01:05 and we've made somewhere around, you know, if we can get 'em our goal here, there's nothing that we found yet that beets early planting. 00:01:13 Right, right. We know that if we, if I can mess around and get 'em planted the last couple days of May, first couple days of June, we have our best shot. 00:01:21 Well, at that point, that's when Burt comes in and says, Hey, we're gonna start trialing this or trialing that. 00:01:26 You know, we've had several products over year that we brought into the market from that area. You know, because there's nothing more, 00:01:32 I don't feel like there's anything that's more stress than double crop beans. You're right. You're right. 00:01:37 One of the things that we're, we're gonna be looking at this year in a double crop beans scenario, it's a new product for concept. 00:01:43 It's called Verma Boost. Yep. We've tested it. It looks exceedingly, you know. Great. One of the things that we see is, is 00:01:51 that whether you make one application early, like D three V four or you put it in fur, or whether you come back and make an application, you know, 00:02:00 early our stages, you get a positive response. The biggest response is doing it on both the front end and the package. 00:02:07 So talk to me about the structure of this product. What is it in the plant? Is it in plant? Do we have a day frame that it's in the plant? 00:02:15 Do we wanna run it in front of a weather event? Do we want to run it in front of a heat event? Talk to me about the dynamics of it, 00:02:21 Bert. So the dynamics of it, essentially this product, for those of you that are familiar, we have a product called ide. 00:02:27 Yep. You probably used it. Yep. Essentially what we did was we took all of the good components from, you know, worm casting, 00:02:35 firmer compost, whatever you wanna call it. We deconstructed it and then put it back together and then added some positive biology into it. 00:02:42 That helps not only with root stimulation, but also, uh, a big part of it is stress mitigation. The reason why this product works so well is 00:02:51 because you're not really tied to a specific event. You don't have to worry about putting it out ahead of a stress event or putting it out ahead of water. 00:03:00 You can make the early season application, you can make the late season application and it's still gonna do you some good good. 00:03:07 Again, something like double crop beans, we know they're gonna be stressed pretty much the time that they get put in the ground. 00:03:13 So that's why we wanted to look at two applications the early and the late. So We would, you would, so we're gonna put it 00:03:19 in with our herbicide. Mm-hmm. And then we'll come back and put it in again with our fungicide. Correct. Because you know, we're gonna make 00:03:24 that fungicide pass just for, again, plant health and then also for out there for, you know, we'll have some stink bugs moving through in and out. 00:03:32 Or we'll have a, you know, I'm gonna tell you, you don't think really that, I know they're beneficial, but still we almost need to make that application just 00:03:39 for pyrethroid to help us with fire ants. Sure. I mean, do you have, I mean, I know fire ants are good, 00:03:44 but boy they ain't good on that cutter bar. The thing about fire ants, unless you're growing sugarcane, you really don't like 00:03:50 to see 'em because they can cause so much problems to everything else. They, yes, they are predators, 00:03:55 but in row crops we have a lot more tools at our disposal as opposed to somebody like that. 00:04:00 That's right. That's right. But we're going to make two applications. What kind of rate we talking about on this product? 00:04:05 So this is gonna be a quart per acre. Okay. So what you're getting out of it is you're getting stress mitigation from 00:04:11 a several different angles. You're getting it from the biology, you're getting it from the fact that it's gonna enhance the tilt of your soil, 00:04:17 which will allow your roots to peg down farther. Especially if you're in a dry land situation or you're planting in a time of year 00:04:24 where moisture is at a premium. You want the roots to be able to peg down. So that's, that's two things right there. 00:04:32 The third thing is, is that because of the way that the worm castings of wormer compost in this product work together, 00:04:42 you also get your stimulation of the root. That's a combination of that plus the biology that's in it. And then the fact that that plant is set up 00:04:53 a lot better to tolerate stress because it has more avenues to draw from during a stress event. 00:05:01 So would I be better off running this or can I run this in a burn down application too? Or would you, do you still wanna see it on the plant? 00:05:07 When we talk about till then we're talking about what we're doing to the soil. Do we want this? What don't hit the plant 00:05:12 to get on everything else? Is that what you're looking at? To be honest with you, we hadn't really looked at 00:05:17 the burn down option. We're exploring that this year in some places. Okay. Um, Guess what? 00:05:22 You're gonna see it from me. Alright. That's, that's awesome. The product works whether it goes on the plant or not. 00:05:29 Yeah. Because the, the biology and the actual verma compost component of it are gonna be active in the soil. 00:05:36 Yeah. Once the plant gets in there, then everything's good. Yeah. The later season is 00:05:42 where the foliar application really comes into play and can provide you with that late season stress mitigation that you're looking 00:05:49 For. I think me and you just found our avenue for burn boost, we gonna have it, we would go out there 00:05:54 and we burn down from our wheat stub. Yep. Have some in it there for, for trial. We'll have some in it, the herbicide application. Mm-hmm. 00:06:01 And then we'll have some in it, the fungicide application and start piggybacking them around 00:06:05 to see what we can come up with. I think that's the way we're gonna try. Yep. And like I said, you know, that's the whole purpose 00:06:10 of testing is try to figure out what combination of applications are gonna work best based on the, the crop you're fooling with. 00:06:19 Yep. And in this case, and, And with that, the soil type that you're thinking, The soil types, the whole nine yards, you know, 00:06:24 and with us picking double crop beans, that right there is really gonna tell us just how much you know, this, 00:06:31 this product has the potential to help. Yep. Well I'm good with that bur. Yeah. Good to have y'all out here from Field Day to today. 00:06:38 We're gonna look forward to doing some trial work and we're gonna get concept out there. You know, they've been good concept Agritech has been good 00:06:43 to me and man, it's been good to work with people like that. If you don't know 'em, hadn't met with 'em, give 'em a call. 00:06:48 They got some good agronomists, good sales people, you know, can answer. They've answered a lot of questions on my farm 00:06:53 to help me through a lot of struggles. 00:06:55.845 --> 00:06:56.845
