Today’s soybean field trial visit was one of the most compelling we’ve seen with Phytalix biofungicide in Brazil.

Same field, same management, same base fungicide program. Only difference: one section received 2 early-season Phytalix applications.

Walking different parts of the field, the difference in plant health was striking and consistent.

Milestone for @AscribeBio, partnering with @Syngenta to distribute Phytalix biofungicide across Asia. https://t.co/B3wBITSC71

@Gibbsfield4430 Yucca?

@LowBoomLowDrift @Tedthekelpie I found this research paper reporting spray rates of 1000-3000L/ha in vegetable crops.

(“10a” =1/10 a hectare), so roughly 100-320 gal/acre.

Interesting!

TIL crop protection spray volumes in Japan are much higher than the US.

Where a US farmer might use 50-100 gal/acre of water, the Japanese farmer prefers 200-300 gal/acre. 😳

It’s fascinating how different countries solve the same problem in different ways.

[Gabriel Wilmoth @agrigabe]

@LowBoomLowDrift The way I heard it explained was habit and preference.
I can guess with smaller field sizes hauling that much volume is not as big an issue. 🤷

[Gabriel Wilmoth @agrigabe]

@LowBoomLowDrift @Qshizzle97 I should have clarified this was in the context of specialty and orchard crops.
Still I was totally surprised too b/c I’d never heard of rates this high…except for maybe in turf.

Great looking system @bandedagllc.

Even better: seeing someone on X say “I was wrong & I learned something.”

We could all use more of this.

[Banded Ag, LLC @bandedagllc]

It’s no secret I’ve not been a fan of covers or fall stripping. I challenged myself hard over the past year to learn more about this system. With what I saw today, I can say I’ve NEVER been more wrong. We achieved our goal, beautiful strips to plant on with covers in between. Still a long way to go, but I love what I’m seeing so far. Shoutout to a fantastic job by @YetterFarmEquip strip freshner. And thank you @WiBeanBag @Diversified_Ag for staying on me to push harder and learn more. This is beautiful. @StripTillFarmr

@RyanHoliday Anyone else remember when Amazon would include bookmarks? I’ve kept this one for 20+ years for the same quote:

[Bodie Kitchel @Bkitch1Bodie]

Do you believe it’s possible to raise 250bu corn on 100# or less of Soil applied synthetic N?
No manure
Jus soil applied N
We did it on 146# last year and I rly want to get to 100# or less of soil applied N with 250bu corn.
Anyone want to try with me this year?

@Camp4 @keyanasapp Strong work!

Day 10 in Brazil.

Every time I visit, I’m struck by the scale & sophistication of agriculture here.

[Gabriel Wilmoth @agrigabe]

Soybean field day hosted by IPACER, near Cristalina, Brazil.

Featuring grower-guided, side-by-side trials of crop protection innovations, including biologicals.

@AscribeBio’s Phytalix is included in 3 trials.

[Gabriel Wilmoth @agrigabe]

Perspective is everything.

“Gold crashed 10%” vs “gold is at the same price it was a week ago.”

Same data. Completely different emotion.

[Gabriel Wilmoth @agrigabe]

Botanical version of the Brazilian flag 🇧🇷

[Gabriel Wilmoth @agrigabe]

@pepemoonboy It feels totally different when you view it as “gold crashes 10%” vs “gold at the same price it was last week”
