I thought PVA was right in his first response.
His context is different than us farmers. As an advisor his life is results to help make decisions.
As farmers we can use a few anecdotal trials to prove to ourselves.
We can already see a lot of companies jumping on the bandwagon.
But most of them make cheap "biological" type products. Label is not very specific, agronomy sales people don't understand the right way to be testing or using these products. It's the same old sales pitch, " insert local farmers names" or " in our trials we saw.." so they will give biological a bad name.
It's not different than foliar products. Retail agronomy has no clue, " since your going out to the field with herbicide might as well toss in this new product we got.
Cast a wide enough net and you catch fish.
The independent companies like Conklin, BW fusion, Sound agriculture.... companies have soil and plant testing programs. They develope systems. But you know, the people who say test often and use data as a management tool clearly are all snake oil. Because yeah, just dumping a bunch of low quality inefficient fertilizer at a mythical crop removal rate is clearly the gold standard | |

Biologicals any results
