Hi, this is Kelly Garrett from Extreme Ag. We're here today. We've done a root dig, uh, wind Grove, and Vern and I, and we're looking at our VI trial.
00:08
This is one of those trials that I was unsure about doing because I didn't know, are we gonna see anything here?
00:13
Am I wasting my time? But as you can see, the roots here are better on the applied area than the unapplied area.
00:18
You can clearly see the ears are bigger and the ears are bigger to the tune of an average of about 25 kernels per ear.
00:25
What Vive claims is the secret sauce to their technology is the delivery mechanism, and to be more specific, the AlloSphere delivery technology.
00:34
And I, this is one of those things that, Mike, is there gonna be anything to this? But again, the proof is in the pudding right here, and,
00:40
and the real proof at the end, of course, is always in the yield monitor. And will there be an ROI?
00:45
So we've got the Alan, we've got the ter, which is the, uh, insecticide. We're always looking for a new insecticide here.
00:51
We continue to grow the corn on corn acres because corn is our most profitable crop. So again, I'm always looking
00:57
for a new insecticide technology because the bugs be evolve and the, and the diseases
01:02
and the insects, they always are evolving and, and we're losing control of them. Look at the weed escapes we have with Roundup,
01:07
where years ago, Roundup got everything. Well, the same thing happens in other technologies, just like insecticide.
01:12
The third component to this trial is the asteroid, which is fungicide that went inferral. I gotta tell you, I, I don't know if one component is
01:20
working better than the other, but these are bigger, healthier plants. I gotta think that the fungicide is doing something here.
01:26
So, again, I was pretty skeptical of this technology, the nano delivery system, if you will. But it really looks like we're onto something here.
01:33
We'll have to say if there's a yield, ROI, and we'll report the re yield results at the end of the year.
