Strong flowering. Better cone set. Higher-quality hops.
Flowering and cone development in hops happen in a short, high-impact window that sets the stage for yield and quality. Keeping calcium available to build strong tissue and support cell recovery can make the difference between getting by and maximizing this critical stage.

In rice, the first few weeks are like the first inning. If you come out strong, you’re in control for the rest of the game.
Early-season choices, like using seed treatments that support even emergence or applying zinc nutrition that encourages strong tiller development, all help set the crop up for its full yield potential later on.

Rice, Rice, Baby.
Rice yield starts long before the panicle appears. From emergence through tillering, early-season decisions can impact stand uniformity, canopy development, and yield potential. A strong start sets the stage for an even stronger finish.

In tree nuts, decisions made now have a direct impact on the crop that will be harvested.
During May, nut growth and kernel development are accelerating. By supporting photosynthesis and overall leaf function, growers can help maintain the steady energy supply needed to carry the crop through the season and build toward a stronger harvest.

May is a critical point in tree nut orchards for setting yield potential for the season. Nut set is established, and trees begin directing their energy toward nut growth and kernel development. The decisions made now directly impact the crop that will be harvested at the end of the season.
A larger crop load demands more energy from the tree, making May spray programs essential to sustaining crop development.

In a recent webinar from @ILSoybean titled “Stretching Every Pound: Using Biologicals to Maximize Fertility During Input Shortages,” Drew Harmon, Valent BioSciences’ Midwest Technical Agronomist, spoke about the benefits of biologicals and biostimulants and highlighted a couple of product options.
"When considering a biological or biostimulant, one of the first things to consider is what pain point you're trying to solve."
As growers are challenged to protect their yields and profitability this season, biologicals can help unlock nutrients already in the soil, improve uptake efficiency, and support stronger roots for more resilient crops.

Stronger growth. Better efficiency. More consistent performance.
Foliar feeding helps soybeans stay on track when nutrient demand peaks and soil uptake falls short. By delivering nutrients - backed with the right biostimulants - directly to the leaf, plants can maximize growth and continue building toward yield.
The result?
✔ Improved nutrient availability during critical growth stages
✔ Support for canopy development
✔ Enhanced nutrient use promoted by biostimulants
It’s a simple way to reinforce your fertility program and derive the most value from your investment.

Soybeans move fast but nutrient demands move faster.
When uptake from the soil can’t keep pace, foliar feeding steps in. By delivering nutrients like zinc and manganese – in combination with the right biostimulant - directly to the leaf, you can support key plant functions such as photosynthesis and node development.
Timing is everything. Target early vegetative stages and early reproductive stages to set the stage for strong development and better returns.
By using the right tools, you’re not just feeding the plant; you’re helping the plant master its environment to deliver the greatest ROI.

Uniform clusters don’t happen by chance; they’re cemented early in the season.
Shot berries are often the result of stress during bloom, leading to uneven sizing, inconsistent ripening at harvest, and reduced yield. While growers can’t control the weather, they can support vines when it matters most.
Targeting the bloom to early fruit set window with the right combination of calcium and biostimulants can make a measurable difference in berry set and cluster uniformity.

Grain fill is where yield is won or lost.
Research shows that a few days of heat or moisture stress during the grain fill stage can significantly reduce grain weight, grain size, and overall yield potential.
GrainStar™ Plant Growth Regulator has got you covered! It works with the plant’s natural physiology to keep grain fill on track. Benefits include:
✔ Promotes movement of carbohydrates to the developing grain
✔ Primes plants to better manage heat and moisture stress
✔ Supports grain weight and overall crop performance
Backed by more than 100 trials across key wheat-growing regions, GrainStar has demonstrated consistent improvements in yield and grain quality when used alongside standard programs.
Because protecting grain fill isn’t optional, it’s essential. Learn how GrainStar supports performance when it matters most: https://t.co/PYLiHsPCCf

Start strong, grow stronger.
Newly planted trees and vines face intense pressure in their first season. Transplant shock combined with rapid growth demands can limit early establishment and long-term performance.
Mycorrhizal fungi help bridge that gap—extending root systems, enhancing nutrient uptake, and improving access to water when plants need it most.
With Symvado® WSP, you can harness the power of mycorrhizae to protect your investment, reduce replant losses, and give your orchard or vineyard a resilient, high-performing start—setting the foundation for years of productivity.

A high-performing corn crop starts long before tassel. Early-season development drives everything from stand uniformity to final yield.
The blog linked below explores how:
- SuperSede® Corn supports emergence and early root growth
- Symvado® SC expands nutrient and water access
- Transit® enhances vegetative growth and photosynthesis
Because when you build a strong foundation, the crop can perform all season long.

Grain fill is when yield is made, and when it’s most at risk.
Just a few days of heat stress can significantly reduce grain weight and overall yield potential. That’s why supporting crops during this window is critical.
GrainStar™ Plant Growth Regulator is designed to drive plant processes that directly impact a grower's bottom line. GrainStar mobilizes carbohydrates from the stem and leaves to the developing grain while simultaneously preparing plants to better tackle heat and moisture stress.
Backed by multi-year trials, GrainStar shows consistent improvement in, grain weight, seed head length, ultimately enhancing yields. Demand more from your wheat and finish strong.

Early-season development in corn sets the stage for yield potential. From uniform emergence to robust roots and efficient nutrient uptake, the first weeks after planting determine how well your crop competes, grows, and produces.
Biostimulants like SuperSede® Corn support early root growth, nutrient translocation, and canopy development. Meanwhile, Symvado® SC Mycorrhizal Inoculant extends root absorption, improving access to water and nutrients throughout the season. Both working to help your corn reach its full genetic potential.
Start strong. Grow stronger. Yield higher.

Biostimulants can unlock short periods of enhanced plant function, when crops are primed to grow stronger, use nutrients more efficiently, and build resilience. We call this the Optimization Window.
Next-generation #biostimulants not only trigger this window of opportunity but also deliver the key resources, nutrients, and tools your crop needs to make the most of it.
Watch our recent Learning Center Session at Commodity Classic 2026 for more on the Optimization Window and how you can harness biostimulants for optimized performance.
Taped at 2026 Commodity Classic, February 25-27, 2026, in San Antonio, TX.
