00:00 Hello, here's Sam Kutu, Sam of the North. I'm here sitting in a bean field with Steve McQueen. He's the agronomy manager 00:09 for Nature's Alpine solution. That is Correct, yep. For Canada. Looking at my beans here on August 28th 00:19 and, uh, just looking what it looks like and if we can do something more on it. Yeah. So going forward, right? Yep. 00:29 We had a chance to dig, uh, uh, in this field in the last field, and we're really finding, it's really neat to dig in 00:34 between the row and see that we actually have nodulation, uh, across the complete row on a lot of the finer root mass, 00:41 which is, again, a benefit for the crop to be able to push the nitrogen. We need to finish these crops up. 00:47 Um, we are really noticing we had some good nodulation set, which was, uh, I think, uh, one thing we want 00:52 to know is phosphorus is so huge, uh, around the, the root zone when we're getting, uh, rium to actually begin to fix the nitrogen, uh, process as well. 01:02 What are your comments or thoughts, uh, on what you're seeing from your nodulation in your stand so far? 01:06 Coloration and health? Plant health? Yeah, so I really like the color of it. Uh, it's, it's, uh, been planted on 20 inches. Yep. 01:16 Population is one 50 here. I plant a little bit later than I would like to. It was, uh, around May 20th. 01:26 So that's why I'm pushing a little bit more my population to compensate for the lack of lights later in the season. 01:34 Yep. And we are in a heavy clay environment, so I can, I can push a little bit my population with my soil type. 01:45 Yeah, the soil type. You've got lots of moisture here. The thing is, we always are watching, obviously with this sticky soil. 01:50 We have a very high meg content here, so it's holding moisture very well, which means that most times we would fight oxygen in the soil 01:59 to feed microbiology. Um, so keeping that population there, knowing we have moisture, um, is a big thing. 02:05 It's really neat to see that the root contact is here. Nodulation again, that we just is in between the row. Being able to pick up nodules between the row is key. 02:14 Uh, magnesium is key on that. I think as we've talked, probably going forward we'll pay attention to make sure we're getting the calcium level in 02:21 these plants that we require as well to help set pods on that. So, but I think with the stand, the color, uh, you know, 02:28 I think we are having, uh, the, the treatments you have on here, maybe, uh, we're looking at, uh, doing another little application 02:35 just to do some trials. Knowing, uh, again, as we've had the conversation over the last couple hours, that the plants use 02:40 so much phosphorous in their reproduction. Are we starving plants going forward and reproduction. I think that's something we want to work on as well. 02:47 Maybe a little bit of potassium as Well. The potassium, the sulfur we got. Great nodulation keeping that nitrogen, 02:54 the sulfur ratio in place. Pretty, pretty important for what we're looking at here as well. So Yeah, keep you posted on the 03:01 result at the end of the year. Yeah. Well, thanks for having me in your field here, Sam. We really appreciate it. 03:05 Yeah. Thanks for coming. Yeah.
