In several studies using Procidic in corn in a corn soybean rotation, yield responses were realized even when disease pressure was low or disease wasn’t present.  This is most likely due to  Procidic triggering the plant’s chemical defense system noted by an increase of phytochemicals such as phytoalexins.  These could cause the plants to increase […]

The “Big Three” are where the main focus of most fertility programs are, but there are at least 17 essential elements and especially as we enter into higher yielding environments, there are others besides the N,P, and K we need to concentrate on.  Calcium is often overlooked, however, it is critically important because it is […]
