Johnny Verell is Stream Ag. I'm out here today looking at the field A, we've got a lot of plots out here.
00:00:05
Got all kinds of different trials going on. We've done everything from fertility to end season, fungicide applications and stuff like that.
00:00:12
And so this year we actually did a trial with Title Grow. Title Grow's a new company.
00:00:17
I just met 'em last year at the uh, commodity Classic and was kind of intrigued that they had some products that I thought would actually work really well
00:00:23
what we're trying to do here in West Tennessee at the farm. And so, you know, they got a product called Spectra
00:00:28
that they said would actually coincide with a fungicide that I'm already using on my farm. So this year I talked to 'em, they said, Hey,
00:00:35
let's do several trials, replicated trials. So at the field day we did it. We actually did it on another farm.
00:00:40
We did about 70 acres on another farm just to get a lot of good replicated work going across that farm with Spectra. This year we actually put out our standard practice,
00:00:48
which is a V 10 application. We ran approach, approach pretty much 6.4 ounces and then we added Spectra to it also.
00:00:54
So we added eight ounces of Spectra to it. So we did the standard practice at V 10, then we added Spectra to it.
00:01:01
We're gonna see if it's gonna add any more residual protection to the plant from a disease standpoint. 'cause here in Tennessee we get a lot of southern rust.
00:01:08
It usually starts about this time when July gets here, we'll start seeing it creep in. So along with that trial, they're
00:01:12
like, let's look at this too. So let's just put straight spectra out. So we did that application also,
00:01:18
but we're getting ready to, you know, we're starting to silk and stuff like this. Once the ears come out, we get into that brown silk stage,
00:01:24
we're gonna make another application. That's what I was out here today, trying to see when that next application's gonna be.
00:01:28
We're basically gonna replicate the same thing. We're gonna do our standard practice, which will probably be Trevor Pro coming out late season.
00:01:34
And then we'll come around and add their spectra to it. Also, you know, they don't call, there's a biological, they call it a bioactive fungicide,
00:01:41
which just means it was derived from nature itself. So it's coming from C**n, it's the cotton in it is what we're actually using to actually help
00:01:48
fight this disease out here. So it's pretty neat how we're starting to use things like a byproduct of the seafood industry, basically,
00:01:54
that they're going in and taking out the ingredients that they need to have a active ingredient for a fungicide in it.
00:02:00
So it's pretty neat that we're able to use products like that and we're gonna see where it takes us.
00:02:03
You know, a cool thing about their product. I was reading when I was looking at the directions when we were getting ready to apply.
00:02:08
You can mix it with fungicides, herbicides, and insecticides. You can even do it with some, uh,
00:02:13
fertility products too, depending on what you're doing. 00:02:15.485 --> 00:02:17.625
