In the pursuit of higher crop yields, a renewed interest in micronutrient fertilization has emerged. Soil testing and plant tissue sampling along with root examination and the growing environment provide a better understanding of crop nutrient deficiencies and needs.

Silks emerge from kernels at the tip of the ear last and are least likely to be fertilized if the plant is under stress. Kernels at the tip may abort following fertilization if the plant becomes stressed during grain fill.

Gray leaf spot (GLS) has the potential to limit corn yields if severity is high around the tasseling to silking stage. Warmer temperatures and rains we have experienced in the last few weeks could speed up infection and development.

Developed to perform in extreme (XT) operating conditions, FS Syn Hydraulic XT ISO 46 is a full synthetic, anti-wear hydraulic oil for all-season performance.

A typical antifreeze/coolant formulation is 96% water and glycol. However, the remaining 4% is important and can have a lasting impact on a heavy-duty diesel engine.

Seed treatments provide young plants protection against threats like disease and insects. Two multi-year trials show the value of two popular soybean seed treatments to manage diseases.
