So guys, I'm here today in my Gerson Terramar soybean plot and there's some pretty interesting stuff going on here.
00:06
Mad Cordell with the agronomist came down and done some, some drone applications, some variable rate drone applications of the Terramar.
00:13
You know, we preach stress mitigators all the time and talk about them all the time down here in the Delta. You know, we, we, we face some really extreme heat.
00:22
Y'all hear that all the time. I'm the same guy singing the same song all the time. But, uh, one thing we did see,
00:27
they done some temperature tests in the canopy. I actually done it on the rice. We've got it on rice, we've got it on cotton
00:33
and we've got it on soybeans. They did the canopy test on rice and one thing they did see,
00:38
they took the temperatures all day long and there was a six degree lower temperature in the canopy on the terramar plots
00:46
and there was outside in the grower standard practice. So that's a pretty big deal in itself. You know, Terra Mar's got a seaweed extraction
00:53
type product in there. You know, I just walked out here and pulled up a plant. This is not an end row or anything
00:59
and it's, it's pretty impressive. So you can see this is one plant, you know, we've got the main stem plus three big
01:06
branches coming off of there. Quite a few pods on there, and I think there's something too
01:11
lower in that canopy temperature. I've said that all along. If, if, you know, companies could come up with something
01:16
that will lower the canopy temperature in the delta, we're gonna be a lot better off than we would in in the past.
01:22
I'm very excited about this product. I think it can do a bunch of different things for us, not only lower canopy temperature,
01:27
but just keep stress off the plants and that's the number one concern when growing a plant is, is stresses.
01:34
And you can see I took a shovel and dug it up. That's not, that's not near about all the roots, but that's a base part of the route.
01:40
You can see where I cut this big route off right here with the shovel. But this dude is pretty impressive, you know, so we'll see
01:47
what the trials look like as we get to 'em. They're replicated different rate's going out, so we're very excited about what we're seeing so far.
01:54
And now they're off to a very good start.
