Improving Wheat Yields with Impact F

Impact F is a natural crop health bio-stimulant that should be an integral part of any crop nutritional program. Impact is a biological product containing growth hormones, amino acids and betaines which are important for healthy plant growth and development. Impact causes more efficient assimilation of all nutrients, especially nitrogen, within the plant and helps with key enzyme systems. Impact F is easy to use and can be added to your existing nutritional program. For high-yielding winter wheat, Impact F pushes yields even higher. An application prior to wheat vernalization

To Catch a (Silent) Thief Sample for SCN Before Selecting Seed By: Emily Unglesbee, DTN Staff Reporter Friday, October 24, 2014 ST. LOUIS (DTN) -- If a thief snuck in around harvest time and made off with 30% of your soybean crop, you'd probably notice, right? Sampling for soybean cyst nematodes after harvest can be time consuming and expensive, but yields lost to SCN might cost you more in the long run, according to Iowa State plant pathologist Greg Tylka. (DTN file photo by Nick Scalise) Maybe not,

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

The Benefits of Soybean Seed Treatment

It is estimated that from 1997 to 2007 the suppression of yield in US soybean acres was close to 1 BILLION bushels!   The majority of this yield loss can be attributed to 4 major pathogens: Pythium, Rhizoctonia, Phytophthora and Fusarium.  Unfortunately, a large majority of our southeastern soils harbor these pathogens.  In addition to disease pressure, insects, as well as environmental and soil conditions, conspire to rob you of maximizing yield on your acre. Seed treatments are a key component to any cropping system.  Soybeans are no different.  Seed
