Maximizing Crop Yields: Strategic Fungicide and Nutrient Applications
26 Jul 24 • 1m 8s
In this video, Kelly Garrett discusses the strategic application of fungicides and nutrients via aerial spraying. Kelly explains that while the average grower in the area typically flies the plane to apply fungicide and insecticide at the R1 or R2 growth stages, his approach involves multiple applications. He schedules flights three times during the growing season: between V10 and V12, around R1, and potentially at R5, depending on sap sample results.
The sap samples are essential for determining nutrient deficiencies, confirming that while nitrogen levels are sufficient due to soil mineralization and biological activity, other nutrients, particularly calcium, are often lacking.
