00:00:00
Nematodes are a problem because they damage your roots and they prevent your crop from taking up water and nutrients.
00:00:06
I just learned that in the session. That was with my friend George Huckabee, a Vive Crop protection
00:00:11
and Matt Miles extreme Mag, you did a cool thing in 2025. You did trials on corn
00:00:18
and cotton with their product called aland. You're going to do it next year. Sorry, this year on soybeans.
00:00:24
What excites you about what you saw and what excites you about where we're going? Well, what we did last year,
00:00:28
we've been using it in the cotton since we first found out about it, but what we did last year is they wanted
00:00:33
me to do a trial in corn. And I'm like, well, corn's really a host, but it's, they don't really affect the yield,
00:00:38
or I didn't think it did. I'll show you where I'm wrong. We did the trial, uh, we picked up a 10 bushel increase.
00:00:44
So 10 bushels at $4 is $40 an acre. Right. That's easy math. Yeah. Plus what it done was du reduce the numbers in the
00:00:51
corn instead of them being able to live there and set up home and be there. When we go in the following crop, we were able
00:00:56
to eliminate the numbers in the corn plus pick up yield. If it would've just broke even, it would've been a wind.
00:01:02
Yeah. But it, but it made 10 bush, so on A corn soy rotation, it almost has the, uh, the residual effect is what we're hearing right here.
00:01:09
Yes. Yeah. Uh, and and are nematodes George, worst for soy? What? Which crop? They heard the worst.
00:01:15
They, they hurt pretty much every crop out there. Like they, they all cause pretty similar injury as far as root system and, and, and they inhibit
00:01:21
that root, take a nutrient. So, I mean, I wouldn't say it's any worse than the other crop, but I mean, they are a big problem in soybeans too.
00:01:27
Hence the reason, you know, we've got it labeled for soybeans this year too. It's a soybean CYS is the number one pest
00:01:32
of soybeans out there that reduces yield too. So How do I use this? It's ferrows a liquid inferral. So if time of
00:01:38
Planting At time of planting, Then one time, Yep. You put put it out planting, you can mix it with fertilizer, you can mix it with anything.
00:01:43
You know, we, we have very good compatibility with other products and it just goes right on top of the seed.
00:01:48
No phyto issue. No stand issue, you know. No, no problem with, with the crop. Cotton is not very profitable right now.
00:01:55
And so of the, of the places where you think I can justify it, you gave me a 10 bushel, uh, number on corn.
00:02:00
Uh, did it make money on cotton? Did it make me Yes. We have to have a no side in our area. It don't matter, so we gotta pick one. Yeah.
00:02:07
So this product here is about a third of the cost of what we've Been using. So
00:02:11
if it will just equal in yield, which they've got data proven and it's, it will increase
00:02:15
above the competition even if it just equaled in data. When you're, the ROI, we looked at the ROIA while ago, it's it's way up there compared
00:02:22
to the, you know, the other products. What excites you about soybeans? Looking forward, what are you gonna be looking
00:02:26
for this year? I mean, it's labeled so it's not like it's in a trial phase, but one still first year out.
00:02:31
There's still things you're looking for, right? Yeah. So, so we, we, we have, we've done a lot of research, a lot of data with it too as,
00:02:35
as far as results in the field. But the biggest thing is, is, is giving growers the solution.
00:02:39
We, we've had questions about this, had asked about it for years about having the product for soybeans. We finally got there and I'm, I'm finally, you know, happy
00:02:45
to say, okay, you can use it now. We've got a good product and just getting exposure and experience from the growers are gonna use
00:02:50
It. You see. Do you see you using this across all your acres? Yes. I already use it across all my cotton.
00:02:57
I didn't normally, when I research a product, I do it three years before I make it Grower standard. This product went in grower standard, basically the half
00:03:04
of it in the first year this year. And then the second year was all of it with the soybeans. You ask him which crops it we're, in my opinion, soybeans.
00:03:11
Okay. So to be able to get this labeled in soybeans, we've had zero on the yield monitor in the heavy nematode spots where we didn't have any
00:03:17
kind of amount of sight on it. So it's gonna be a game changer for us. All Right. Well stay tuned. That product
00:03:21
is called ABER Land's. From our friends at Vibe Crop Protection, he's George Huckabee. He's Matt Miles. I'm Dave Mason coming at you from the floor
