A Fungicide Showdown

00:00 Got us a trial going here with a company called vi. They're new to us at XT Extreme Ag did most everything at planning. 00:06 They've got a fungicide product called astronaut. We're applying this at a rate of eight ounces per acre according to their recommendations 00:14 for how they want us to do it. This is going to be gonna fill with our full program as well as against our grower standard with the fungicides 00:23 that we use here on our farm. And today it'll be compared against a product from B-B-A-S-F. 00:30 Uh, Velma. Velma has been ran at a rate of seven ounces per acre, and we will be comparing it to the astronaut of a rate 00:38 of eight ounces per acre. So we'll have a couple trials here, and then we will also have another trial later on 00:44 where we'll use this product by frum against our standard as well. And so economical, it's the most, 00:52 it's much cheaper per acre than our traditional fungicides we've been using. So, uh, we're gonna see how it stacks up 00:58 and if we can keep this disease off. Full disclosure, they recommended a V five application. This is about a V nine V 10 application. 01:07 It was just, it really looked too bad with our drought to put it out then, but this is in the creek bottom and river bottom. 01:14 So we moved it around to get it into the area where the fungicide would stand a chance. 'cause when you get down to it, 01:19 if drought's your major problem and you, you ain't got water, it don't matter what else you do, you're not 01:24 going to make that big a difference. Y'all stay tuned. Look forward to sharing the results with you.
