Testing A New Nano-Polymer Solution for Optimal Fertilizer Mixing
22 Feb 244m 57s

In this video, Kelly Garrett and Rob Vincent from Vive Crop Protection explore the challenges farmers face when mixing agricultural products, and conduct a head to head jar test a using common starter fertilizer 10-34-0 and a new technology that is promising to keep your starter fertilizer mix flowing this planting season.

00:00 Hi, this is Kelly Gear of Extreme Inc. I'm here with Rob Vincent of vi a new, uh, partner of Extreme Hanks. Yep. 00:06 Nice for us. Nice us. Yep. You know, there's nothing worse than, uh, going out to plant. 00:11 We mix the products up, we do it in the wrong order, or we're using products that are new to us. We haven't done a JAR test like we should always do. 00:17 Kevin Matthews is big on that. Yeah. What we're doing, Kelly, we've got a, a, some unique leading edge nano polymer technology 00:24 that we branded as Aper technology. And what we do, to your point, is we integrate that in with existing chemistries that have been out there for a lot 00:32 of years, but in their original forms would not mix with a liquid starter program. Integrating that same ag ingredient 00:39 with our nanotechnology allows that chemistry then to be used in new and unique ways to, you know, bring more tools to the, to the farmer 00:46 or address issues that they may have to combat the money to that. So we've got 10 34 Oh here, 00:52 which is a very common starter. Yep. We've got asteroid here, Which is ours, Oxy Strobe and Fungicide, 00:59 and the ABU technology integrated. And in this one we've got the quadrants, The, the conventional. Yeah. 01:04 And quadrants is a fine product, just that it's in a conventional form does not mix chemistry's chemistry. 01:10 So what we're assuming is gonna happen here or what we're predicting forecasting is gonna happen here is the 10 34 on the Quadris will, uh, not mix as well 01:19 as the asteroid in the 10 30. Yep. Yep. Alright, let's get after it. We're attempting to put 80 milliliters, 01:32 uh, 10 34 Oh in each jar, which is supposed to be equal to a five gallon per acre rate. Yep. Okay. Rob, there's the 80 Mel of that. 01:45 Very good. Let's put that to the side. Put the lid on it before I spill it. So that Would be, we'll go, we'll go for about 0.7 0.8 mils 01:54 of, of a oxy strobe or our asteroid, which is our oxy stro and, and the aper. And so it's a very, even at a, in a JAR test, 02:02 we're not using much here. And part of the reason for that is we've got 3.3 pounds of active per gallon. 02:08 We're able to actually use less material per acre than the original forms of the chemistry 02:14 Tubes. Right. And it, you know, in farmer speed, this is a five gallon read. Yep. So this is going in the jar labeled with the VI 02:23 And Okay. The 1.2 of that waters pulled out. Bert, could we, alright, we'll build this back up so we don't spill anything. 02:48 It, that would be a today. Well, the asteroid in there, that looks really nice. Yep. The, uh, the quads looks okay so far, 03:09 but, uh, we just shook it up. Yeah. It's gonna take a while to settle up and Yep. I can see it coming now. 03:17 The, uh, the quadras in the 10 34 oh is starting to separate a little bit and some chunks are forming, but I wasn't worried about this being successful 03:26 because we already had an example. I was worried about our chemistry skills. Wow. The point is we, yeah, we like to do this 03:32 because as all labels always say is do your JAR test and then, you know, when, when buy crop, the world wants you folks 03:38 to justify spending money on one of our products. You know, this way it's firsthand knowledge and seeing it and, and uh, we encourage everyone to, you know, 03:48 do those mixes and, and as I always say, be a skeptical and technology and tell you're not because this stuff's all, there's 03:54 so much stuff coming at you in today's market that, uh, you know, we have to justify what we're bringing to you and that it's gonna do what it's supposed to. 04:01 And, and that's where I'm very confident the Alice versus technology know things mix in your starter 04:05 Mixes. There's definitely a need for this technology in the marketplace. Kevin Matthews in North Carolina, temple Roads in Maryland, 04:13 Lee Ubers in South Dakota. I've talked to all of them about, uh, uh, these kinds of props. 04:19 I've had these kinds of problems myself. The greatest stories are the things that Jack Henderson does in Alabama 04:24 because he's always mixing stuff together that's maybe questionable. Yeah. That, uh, what he's doing. 04:30 And I know that, uh, his son Jackson has told me he's tired of cleaning out the plant sometimes 04:34 because Chad, he's trying some new concoction. Yep. So maybe we should take this, maybe we should take this technology to Chad 04:41 to really save Jackson some medics, but yeah. Well, thank you for coming today, rod. Yeah. Look forward to well working with you and Vibe. Yep. 04:48 And, uh, looks like your product's on the right path Here. Yep. Thanks for the opportunity.
