00:00 So we're spraying our full tech boron max right now in with the fungicide application. This corn is about R 3.5 is about where this field's at. 00:10 We choose the boron max because we want a heavy little boron. We're really trying to keep filling that kernel out. 00:18 Then the full tech adjuvant is what breaks that boron max down into solution so easily, and you can see that the spray pattern is going down. 00:29 So these are 3D fungicide nozzles. We're running the 40 PSI with a system, this particular PSI 00:38 and the droplet size is what can get all the way down into the very lower canopy leaves where the disease is going to form. 00:45 We want to get that fungicide in there, and it also allows us to get the boron max down and really coat all the leaves from the 00:54 ear leaf to the top. And those are where your big yield's at. Just a little bit about the boron max, why we're using it, 01:01 and what kind of outcome we're looking for. We're just wanting that heavy, deep kernel set. We're also, you know, 01:07 piggybacking other nutrients on at this time as well. It costs the same to run across AC land, so you might as well put everything in there that you can. 01:15 And if you go to the member side and ask questions, we'll give you in depth detail on all the inputs that we've got in here. 01:24 That's been field proven, that's used in our grower standard across the board. And we'll also tell you about the ones 01:29 that we're experimenting with for our partners.
