Strip Till. Did 4 replications each of with and without 5 gallons Agro liquid with micros across the field. For a good part of the summer the rows without starter were a lighter color and shorter. By harvest with yields well over 200 bpa the without starter yielded 2 bu more with no difference in moisture. We've run tests similar to this in the past with the same results. Soil test levels on this farm are not in the high range.[/QUOTE
That is very interesting. This conversation doesn't really pertain to me because I'm 2x2 and I use substantially more than 5 gallons. I've used starter for as long as I can remember and have no plans to quit. I've done lots of tests and have never not seen a yield increase over none. Plenty of break even years or no roi, but never a loss. I don't use Agro, but I know its a high quality product. Did you happen to bring this to the Agro guys? Any explanation? |
