With August right around the corner, the R&D team at Aqua-Yield is busy thinking about summer stress and helping our growers deliver the nutrients needed to finish up their crops.
This season over half the country finds itself in nearly unprecedented heat. Here, water management as well as potassium, calcium and even sulfur fertility can have a strong impact on crops' heat and stress tolerance. Consider late-summer potassium application with inclusion of NanoK to help thicken your crop tissue's cell walls, helping to retain water content. Light application of late-season calcium and sulfur can also have an important role in crops' ability to kick-on stress-fighting mechanisms, whether applied overhead as a foliar or soil treatment.
In the meantime, long term research highlighting the environmental impacts of growers' use of Aqua-Yield products continue to come in. At UC Davis with Professor Sanjai Parikh, early field and simulated drift experimental conditions seems to suggest Aqua-Yield technology's interaction with soil colloids appears to mitigate risk of soil erosion through wind and water. Field data from our large corporate growers and collaborators in central FL and CA also continue to come in, with fantastic results! After their first year of use, we're seeing reports of bumper fruit set, yield quantity and quality in sweet cherry, grape, potato and tree nuts after supplementing their existing calcium fertility programs with NanoCalSi. The extreme heat in the Western US as well as recent bouts of prolonged rain in TX and the southern plains have put strong weed pressures onto many of our growers final weeks of the 2021 season. We continue to hear growers' praise of NanoPro as an aide in burning down resistant, troublesome weeds before they're able to sink roots or set seeds and continue to pose a problem. Consider using NanoPro in your herbicide applications to put your treatments over the edge and be sure you won't see those weeds' next generation.
