Hi, this is Kelly Garrett from Extreme Ag. I'm coming to you with Mark Ktz, my good friend, owner of Tiva.
00:00:06
We're in Madison, Alabama today at Chad Henderson's Field Day. Mark and I were in the same tent out here in the plot,
00:00:12
and one of the questions came up with how do you decide if you should use a IC or a fulvic? Mark has a terrific product that's proprietary TIVA that he
00:00:20
and his dad came up with. It's called CA Mark. Why is it important to put a product like Seacat in fur? What does a grower gain from it?
00:00:28
Well, the main thing is, is when you're looking at humic and phobic acids,
00:00:31
the difference is like humic acid is very big molecularly, where fulvic acid is very small molecularly.
00:00:37
So anytime you want something to get into the plant, you want to use a vic acid because it's molecularly small. Trying to use humic acid
00:00:44
to get stuff in the plant is too big. It's like trying to suck up a strawberry through a straw. It can't get there. Now if you want to fix the dirt,
00:00:50
it's good, but they're both carbon sources, so they bulk will help encapsulate, you know, an nitrogen and do the other things that you want to do.
00:00:57
So I always say you want to use a product like CA to fall acid at any time you want something to get into the plant.
00:01:04
So CA will help the other fertility that we have that is plant or applied CA will help get that fertility into the plant.
00:01:10
You have better efficiency of your other input budget. Yeah, a hundred percent. Uh, it's basically like my son says,
00:01:17
it's like turning a two-lane highway into an eight lane highway, a way that fulvic acid does doing it. It also will help free up nutrition in the soil.
00:01:24
When you put fulvic acid there, it will actually help extract phosphate potash and things like that in the soil.
00:01:30
We have te uh, test called a saturated past test that proves that out and shows that kind of stuff, you know,
00:01:35
so there's many benefits that you get out of vic acid. So Anytime we can make the soil
00:01:40
or the fertility more efficient going into the plant, there's gonna be hidden profits that you'll find. 00:01:44.905 --> 00:01:45.125
