00:00:00 Right here. I got our guy some spray tech. When I was in Brazil a couple years ago, we went to the show Rual. 00:00:07 And uh, one thing I seen was in the Petre dishes, I believe that's what y'all call 'em. Yep, yep. Was a seed treatment product 00:00:15 and it defended off, um, sudden death and, you know, but it's not an, it is not a nematicide. No. And I, I really got interested, I asked a bunch 00:00:24 of questions about it and so this year when we started, I was talking with Chase and um, he said, well, you can use the full tech FO plus six. 00:00:35 Was it six ounces? We use six ounces. Six ounces in furrow. And he said, um, the nematodes are going to be there. Yep. 00:00:42 But then it's, it's just bitter and they just don't like biting the plants much. Yep. And um, so this, this farm last year, we had over 10% 00:00:50 of the soybeans with sudden death. It was bad. Yep. So we had over 10% of the soybeans was sudden death. 00:00:57 And we had it scattered all over our farm. And, and honestly guys what I see is when we get to that 70 bushel yield goal, when we get above the seventies, 00:01:05 when we start seeing it a lot more. Yep. It's more predominant. Yep. This is kind of a game changer. 00:01:10 So I was wanting to go with TRO and a higher rate of illegal, I'm talking about a lot of money. 00:01:15 Yeah. Mm-hmm. And the going with the full tech folder plus in furrow was like a third of the price if I remember correctly. 00:01:23 Does that sound right? It Is, yep. Alright. But last year at our field day, you seen dead spots everywhere. 00:01:31 It's pretty cool. I mean the proof's in the pudding now. Is it gonna show up two weeks from now? I don't know. 00:01:37 We're going to take this to yield, we're going to see, but it, it's just pretty impressive how economical this is to help fight that off and the help that we had. 00:01:47 So why am I seeing the results that we are, what, what is in this product? I mean by the second tfo, you know, the first tfo, 00:01:55 they had a real dark green look. Second tfo, they looked good. So talk to me te teach me something. 'cause I don't know. 00:02:02 So with this product, you're also getting a really good stress mitigator. Um, you can run this product in furrow 00:02:07 or you can run it over the top too. You can run this product in season and it, it metabolizes your herbicide 00:02:13 if you run it with your posts. So it's really good for plant health stress mitigation and like you said, it, it does have 00:02:19 some nematode protection. It is not an aide. That's correct. It's not, but but it changes the way the roots 00:02:24 taste to the nematodes. Okay. And that's how we're doing that. Kinda like a excellent steak. 00:02:30 We know it's excellent steak, but you got a really bad cook and it and it just don't taste good. 00:02:36 Exactly. Yeah. Exactly. Yeah. What's your thoughts on it? What have you seen in your area Chase 00:02:40 and i's had opportunity to work together? Yeah, so I'm in central Missouri. We don't do a lot of in furrow down there. 00:02:45 So we sprayed over the top as foliar. Okay. And right there, like you said, we're mitigating the stress. Now how soon did you spray over the top 00:02:53 You're looking at Right there? Uh, right there around flowering stage. Okay. Kind of what we do it. So we do a little later. 00:02:59 Well no, you're in ate beans. We are. So you're, you're flowering. You can start, we start, We start Pretty So you're doing 00:03:06 'em pretty young? Yep. Yep. Okay. And so, and from there on, we really don't see any sun death out there. 00:03:12 So you can do it. What rate are you running? I Run mine at four ounces. Four Ounces? Yep. So 00:03:17 you sold me two extra ounces. I could have got by with four ounces. You didn't tell me this. Well in, 00:03:22 in fur we're around a little bit more. Yeah, okay. Yeah. Yeah. Make sure it gets But it's a whole lot cheaper than tro it. 00:03:27 It absolutely is. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I'm looking forward to results. Yeah. So four ounces, that's what I do. Four ounce pretty young. 00:03:33 So you're talking plants what? 12, 15 inches tall? Yep. Yep. Full bloom. Yep. What would you recommend on a, 00:03:39 in on a determinate plant? There's a lot of determinate plants grown in the south. I don't know. You're Teaching me. 00:03:46 Oh, lordy, we're in trouble. I don't like determinate, but I respect the guys that grow uhhuh. 00:03:50 They do pretty good. Yeah.
