So clicker have your yeilds improved with genetics over the years? Ours have. 60 bushel beans used to be the gold standard and now it's a disappointment.
Here the xtends are only $4 per unit more. If there is a yeild increase it won't take much the to regain the $4.
I don't plan on using the herbicides but I do like the option. I am avoiding it because of the cost not because I am nervous about the dicamba.
I can honestly say no they have not. I raised just as good of beans when RR first came out. Farming methods have improved, narrow rows, and many use fungicides and for many the weather has played a huge role the last three years. Not to mention disease tolerance and cyst. I would like to see a plot of beans with some 12 year old RR genetics in with present day numbers, if any are still around. 5 bean pods anyone? |
Planting Xtend but not spraying dicamba?
