So guys, this is Matt Miles with Extreme Ag and I'm in our title Grow lab that we had this year on Cotton.
00:00:07
And, uh, you know, the things we've done on this lab is, has been pretty cool. We did multiple applications at different timings just
00:00:15
to see what, you know, title Grow would do. Title Grove is a new company that, uh, we are working with this year and, you know,
00:00:22
we gotta see results of what's going on. So they have a bio stimulant products that we use. And the, the product we're using here mainly
00:00:30
is gonna be Spectra. And Spectra is a bio stimulant. And a bio stimulant is something that's kind of new to agriculture.
00:00:38
Kinda like pgs were, you know, 10 years ago and the farm economy we're in today, we gotta figure out if these products work.
00:00:46
And so that's, that's the reason for this lab and to see what's going on. So we all know a single product never, always works or,
00:00:55
or, you know, it won't work forever. So, you know, there's resistance to different things and, um, you know, this is a bio stimulant that,
00:01:02
that we can kinda use to aid our fungicide. Fungicides are, they're good, I don't get me wrong, they're good, but they, they have their place
00:01:11
and this bio stimulant, it adds to that. And it's, it's a whole different way of, a whole different mode of, of trying
00:01:19
to protect from diseases. This product here has caite in it, which is, you know, it actually thins the cell walls of the disease
00:01:28
and allows this product to come in and, and kind of protect from that disease. So, like I said, nothing lasts forever
00:01:36
and we have to figure out some different products all the time. And this is a product that we're working with this year
00:01:41
to see if it can kind of aid with the, with the, uh, synthetic fungicide and also aid with that
00:01:51
and give us an opportunity to maybe do a better job. Uh, the biggest diseases we have in cotton is target spot. So target spot is something we deal
00:01:59
with a lot of different times. You know, this year wasn't as, it wasn't as bad as most years, but we still had some.
00:02:06
So, you know, we're gonna pick this tomorrow. Uh, this, this lab will be picked tomorrow and it, it looks pretty impressive.
00:02:13
So we'll see what goes on. Again, I can't say enough about the testing we do with Extreme Ag.
00:02:19
Like I said, this is a bio stimulant and bio stimulus just hit the market in the last few years. And, you know, the farmer's gotta know, is this something
00:02:28
that's worth doing or is it something that's gonna, you know, just we're gonna spend money on.
00:02:34
You hear the word snake oils all the time and we're trying to prove that this is not a snake oil, that a bio stimulant is something we need
00:02:41
to use just like we did with the PGRs. And we get through with this test, get through 00:02:45.895 --> 00:02:48.135
