What has happened in the Black Sea since last Monday - THREAD #wheat #corn * Weather conditions improved for Ukrainian corn, good precipitation of 20-40 mm in northern and central regions. However, the moisture deficit remains substantial and it's hotter than needed 1/

When talking eff of adjuvants when mixing with Velocity, liberate = Uptake (at same rate) MSO = Hasten (at same rate) When conditions are outside of label directions there can be a benefit to using MSO/Hasten over Lib/Uptake. So yes, Lib and Uptake can deliver a lower result
