Spring Burndown

Is your land ready for spring planting season? Most no-till fields are now covered with henbit, chickweed, ryegrass, marestail, and other winter annuals and perennials. If you made an application of Leadoff® in December or January, you are probably in pretty good shape right now. If not, it’s time to start cleaning up your winter weeds. Marestail Henbit It is important to get these weeds cleaned up now for several reasons. First, winter weeds have taken up valuable nutrients through the winter months that can’t be returned

Corn Fertility and Starter Fertilizers

As we prepare for the 2015 corn crop, we’ve been busy making decisions on acres to be planted, maturities, hybrids and planting populations. One of the most impactful things we can do to increase yields is develop a fertility strategy. To begin developing a fertility strategy, start with an analysis of your soil data derived from taking soil samples. The information we need to pay attention to is nutritional indexes, pH and CEC. From that information, we can determine how much of each nutrient we need to provide to our

Get the Most From Your Nutrients With ADVANCE

Coastal’s Advance family of products offers growers the opportunity to maximize yield potential by giving their crop the advantage for early season growth, strong root development and improved plant vigor. Advance products, which contain a blend of natural carboxylic acids, aid in solubilizing nutrients for better availability, absorption and uptake. Virtually any crop needs one of the Advance products at planting, whether a starter program is used or not. Here, we give you a brief description of all three Advance products. Advance Growth Agent In addition to the natural carboxylic

The Spectrum Advantage in Fall Burndown/Residual Programs

Yield loss due to early weed competition is well documented and can range anywhere between 5% and 50%. Give your crop the early advantage and reduce weed competition with the right burndown/residual program. To enhance herbicide performance and improve application characteristics, Spectrum is the top choice adjuvant to use in your burndown/residual program. Spectrum efficiently and effectively gets the herbicide to its target and keeps it there longer. The characteristics that make Spectrum an excellent adjuvant on plant and leaf surfaces also make it the adjuvant of choice for residual

Fall Herbicide Application

When harvest is complete and combines and cotton pickers are put under the shed for the winter, you can be sure farmers clean them up first. No farmer would consider parking his machine for 9 months without first thoroughly cleaning it up. Doesn’t it make sense to treat land the same way? A few years ago we first heard the slogan, “Start clean; stay clean.” Now, we are aware that applying herbicides in the fall bring added benefits that outweigh the cost; therefore add to the slogan, “Start clean; stay

Ready, set, plant….

By: Tom McKemie, Coastal Tech Services Mgr The 2014 corn planting season is rapidly approaching. Here are a few things to consider as you get ready to put that seed in the ground. Everyone should have their planters “tuned up” and ready for planting. The cleaning and calibration of corn planter units go a long way in achieving a uniform “picket fence” stand. Replace worn or defective parts and make sure everything is in top working order. Remember, the goal is both precision and accuracy. Corn is a warm weather

Hard Work Necessary to Reach Record Yield Levels

By: Dan Miller, Progressive Farmer Senior Editor Mark down 2013 as the year that the center of high-yield corn production clearly moved south of the Midwest Corn Belt. A record five entries in the 2013 National Corn Growers Association's (NCGA) National Corn Yield Contest exceeded 400 bushels. All were produced in Virginia, Texas or Georgia. David Hula, a perennial Corn Yield Contest winner from Charles City, Va., set a new overall world corn yield record in 2013 with an entry of 454.9837 bushels to the acre. (Progressive Farmer photo
