00:00 Hey guys, it's Temple Rhodes and this is Amy Bur, um, I'm with Extreme Ag. So what we're doing today, Amy, 00:06 is we're putting your product on along with some other micronutrients. This is the field day. This is one 00:11 of our trials at, at our field day. Yep. And, um, it's kind of, I hate to say this, this isn't a trial for you. 00:17 This is kind of grower standard for me at this point. We've gotten to that point. We've proved a lot of things last year. 00:23 So this year what we're trying to do is we're trying to back that back up again. So this is an irrigated situation. 00:28 What we're trying to prove is that the phosphorus needs that we have in late season, it's real. Yeah. Like it's really real. Right. 00:37 So what do you think that we can do to, you know, to try to stimulate that and be above that? 00:43 What I'm asking is, is how many pounds of actual phosphorus do you think I'm getting into the plant at this 00:49 Point? Coming in a tassel? Uh, with our chemistry, we're gonna be able to activate microbes that have specific job 00:55 to basically take the phosphorus that's tied up and make a plant available. So it's the equivalent of 25 pounds of phosphorus, as well 01:01 as if you've got any micro deficiencies, we can help close that gap as well. And the active ingredient will last 01:06 for another three and a half, four weeks. So you've, as the plant's finishing, you're gonna have all of those, uh, microbes provide 01:12 that phosphorus for the next basically Month. You know, I've got got a bunch of guys 01:16 that have asked me about, you know, the product and stuff, and when you tell 'em like, Hey, look, the, 01:21 the use rate is an ounce, an acre, that's kind of a hard sale. Yeah. How do you handle that? 01:25 Well, I mean, so with the, with the chemistry is it's, it's acting like an SOS signal almost. Right? That's how I explain it to guys. 01:30 If you, if somebody's sending an SOS signal from across, across the field here, if you understand what 01:35 that signal means, like go get help. It doesn't need to be bright. You just need to understand what it's, so basically 01:39 that's what it's new into the biology. It's sending a signal to say, Hey, you guys get working, right? 01:43 Like, let's let, let's turbocharge all the work. Yep. Flip the switch. Yep. Flip the switch a hundred percent. Alright, 01:47 Well we're gonna go spray this and we're gonna see how this works out for us. So come see us at the field day. We'll all be here.
