Checked on the cotton that was sprayed with Sharpen Herbicide + ethephon + Folex 3 days ago. Seeing dramatic differences already and leaves are forming abscission layers and falling off easily. Before and after pictures/video. @BASFAgProducts

Sprayed this cotton today with Sharpen Herbicide + ethephon + Folex + MSO + AMS…hot, dry weather has sped up the boll opening across West Texas. This cotton was about 80% open on average! Let’s see how it looks in 4 to 5 days!

Ants ‘farming’ aphids on okra. Happy aphids + Happy ants = Unhappy okra. Ethical dilemma…should I get rid of the aphids?? 🤔

Weed science research 🧐 is tedious at times. Visual results must be verified with plant biomass data to tell the full story.

With Pasture Mealybug detected in FL & TX, raising concerns for producers, it's important to treat this invasive pest with a product like Sefina® Inscalis® insecticide before reaching the risk of brown or necrotic fields due to pest damage. Read more: bit.ly/4f35ruK

Great advice on how to get the most out of Liberty ULTRA Herbicide. High humidity (> 50%), small weed size, and good coverage top my list to make it most effective!

What are the ideal humidity and temperature conditions for Liberty's best performance?

Another year of successful residual weed control with Surtain Herbicide in corn 🌽! Great control of pigweed, morningglory and annual grasses. @BASFAgProducts
