Improve Spray Application Performance in Cotton with Matrixx

Early season competition from weeds and thrips can cause substantial loss to cotton yields. Therefore, it’s important not only to use the right crop protection products but also to use the right spray adjuvant to get maximum performance from the products you use. Matching the right adjuvant to the spray application is key to getting the most from your over-the-top spray. For crop protection products requiring a nonionic surfactant, Coastal’s Matrixx is often the product of choice because of its rapid, uniform coverage capabilities. Matrixx is a 100% active ingredient

Peanut Fungicide Applications

When deciding on your peanut fungicide spray program there are several factors to consider including budget, crop rotation and disease history. As with any crop, a budget is important and with your peanut crop, it’s extremely important. These three “best management practices” that don’t cost money will also help to control costs in other budget line-items: • Choosing the right soil type for peanuts • Planting at the proper time • Sticking with proper rotation. A three year rotation is minimal, but four years is preferred. Any legume crop in the

Reduce Drift with Drift-X DRT

With the recent adverse weather conditions affecting a shortened planting season, our customers are seeing the benefits of Coastal’s new drift reduction technology product Drift-X DRT (formerly Direct DRT). Drift-X DRT improves the on-target deposition and coverage of your spray application and reduces off-target movement. It performs well for any crop or burndown situation especially around sensitive areas. Drift-X DRT works by reducing the number of spray droplet fines less than 100 microns, increasing the VMD (Volume Median Diameter) of spray droplets and generating a more uniform droplet size spectrum. Drift-X DRT

Micronutrients Important for Soybean Yields 2015

There are 16 essential elements that are important for healthy growth and development of soybeans. These include the non-mineral elements - carbon, oxygen and hydrogen, and mineral elements which include macronutrients found in most fertilizers -nitrogen, phosphorous and potassium (potash); secondary macronutrients - calcium, magnesium and sulfur; and micronutrients - boron, chloride, copper, iron, manganese, molybdenum and zinc. Micronutrients haven’t been given a lot of attention until recently because they are needed in such small amounts. However, with the demand for high analysis N-P-K fertilizer, there has been a reduction

Fusarium Head Blight in Winter Wheat

Over the last 10 years or so, there has been an increase in Fusarium Head Blight (FHB or head scab) in wheat planted in North Carolina, South Carolina and Virginia. The reasons may vary, but the chance of FHB in wheat increases if you plant wheat behind corn. But like any disease, it takes a host, a pathogen and favorable conditions for disease to develop. High humidity, rainfall at or near heading and warm temperatures are key factors. The most favorable conditions for infection are prolonged periods (48 to 72

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

Fungicide for Small Grains

Protect your wheat against powdery mildew, tan spot, septoria, rust and FHB Early season applications of a fungicide on wheat applied at or near topdress (Feekes 4-6) will provide early season control of powdery mildew, tan spot and septoria. This is an important management decision if you are planting in a no-till situation and especially if you are following corn. This early application is simple; it can be combined with insecticides or a Micro 581 micronutrient package, or can be applied in your herbicide program. You’ll have peace of mind
