Meet Nutrient Demands for Optimum Yields

Throughout the crop life cycle, all nutrients need to be maintained at optimum levels to maximize yield.  If any single nutrient, including micronutrients, is lacking, crop yield will be reduced. With recent heavy rains and generally wet conditions, planting practices have been altered in many areas, and soil fertility has most likely been affected.

Post Harvest Burndown

Weeds don't take time off...Neither can you! The battle of weed control is a numbers game.  Reduce the weeds and eliminate the seed to win the war.  This has to be a year-round battle because weeds do not take time off. Click HERE to see before and after burndown photos. A Post Harvest Burndown is effective behind any crop harvested prior to heavy frost. It: Reduces seed bank in the following crop Reduces weed population in the next crop Helps fight resistance Makes weed management easier and less costly Keys

Reduce Spray Drift

Important considerations for reducing spray drift include proper nozzle selection; spray technique including spray pressure, angle and application speed; evaluation of environmental conditions such as wind direction and temperature inversions; buffer zones and susceptible crops. To maximize drift reduction potential, add Drift-X DRT to your drift reduction plan. Drift-X DRT (Drift Reduction Technology) is a consistently high-performing deposition and drift management agent that delivers 20% more product to the target and provides uniform coverage on the targeted surface. Drift-X DRT reduces the number of spray droplet fines (less than 100 microns),

Clean Up Weeds This Fall for a Head Start in Spring

Resistant weeds are an ongoing threat to crop yields, and likely will be an even bigger problem in 2016 due to the cutback in crop protection inputs in the past year. Weed competition affects yield potential; that’s why it’s important to stay ahead of weeds by keeping fields clean. To give crops the early advantage in the spring, clean-up is needed this fall. Fall herbicide applications are a relatively new but growing practice because of successful results achieved in using residual herbicides to combat resistant weeds. A fall burndown with

Improve Performance of Cotton Defoliation

When selecting a cotton harvest aid program that is best for your fields, one thing is certain - include MATRIXX in the tank-mix. Matrixx improves the performance of cotton defoliant spray applications by facilitating thorough, uniform coverage on cotton leaf surfaces, allowing for quicker penetration. Matrixx is proven to increase boll opening and enhance leaf drop when added to the defoliant application compared to applications without Matrixx. Based on a unique blend of organo-modified siloxane surfactant and other nonionic surfactants, Matrixx is a 100% active ingredient surfactant that provides excellent

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

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

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
