| Hi iadirt,
Ha. No. I didnt promote anything. Some people just have a hard time believing that maybe someone's had different results and their corner of the world isn't representing the whole globe. I do tell the truth though and I generally have the data to back up my statements and if I don't I will say it's an opinion. PB for us worked. I have the data to back that three years running. There is no doubt to me that it is raising N levels in the plant....however not enough apparently to supply enough N for 40 bushels assuming a 1# N required per bushel. Like I said, we got a 7.5 bushel response from it, but it's done at tassel. If you expect that it's gonna be that there after that, the data says it isn't. N levels in the plant match the control after tassel. So if you suffer from low N levels early it will help. Pay..I can't say for sure. But I can say that the list is pretty long of products that we have trialed that suggest we can lower our an rates and make money.. Theres another one this year wantiny to try but my guess is they will fail like the rest so I don't buy in to the idea that we are over applying. The data says otherwise. When N prices get stupid again, we will look at it again but for now with low N prices and the problems associated with using it, we aren't. That said N is not usually our limiting factor....it's managnese. So any product that does not affect ratios related to MN, are gonna be a loser here most likely.
Unlike most here promoting products, I don't sell a thing. i get paid to do trials though and it ends there so I have no reason to promote anything to butter my own bread so to speak.
Extensive tissue sampling shows that almost every product affects the plant in some way. But if it not affecting your first yield limiting factor, you won't see a yield increase....period. That does not mean it didn't work, or won't work for the guy across the county. So blanket statements about something that works or doesn't get me nervous because the reality is far from that and it's just not true.
Take care
