Curtis Wolfarth, a farmer in the Virginia area, talks about his experience using BP In-Furrow on corn. BP In-Furrow combines our BigBioYield poly-microbial blend with a high-quality food grade starter fertilizer. It’s proven to significantly increase yields in corn, wheat, milo and other crops.

Although it’s still mid-season for the 2016 corn crop, The Farm Research Center in Garden City, Mo., has already been planning for future crop years. Namely, our staff this week has focused on corn hybrid development work. A single corn plant yields tassels, which are the male anatomy of the plant, to produce pollen that will fertilize corn ears, which …

For field crop and forage producers, reading and interpreting Brix levels may be relatively novel concepts. The specialty crop industry, however, has used Brix readings to assess crop health and quality for some time. Brix levels represent the soluble solids content present in a liquid solution, according to a video from The Ohio State University. Soluble solids include amino acids, …

Among crop producers, harvesting a high-yielding crop is a benchmark for success. Various practices and tools are evaluated based on whether they maximize yields and improve profitability potential. At BigYield.us®, we view supplementing micronutrient levels as one – in many cases, untapped – strategy to increase yields. The Yield BoosterTM product from BigYield.us blends the three macronutrients – nitrogen, phosphorus …

For some time, we at BigYield.us have praised in-furrow treatments for making a big impact on crop health and growth. Our industry has bought into this approach, and according to recent estimates, in-furrow use is expected to expand further. Treatments like fertilizer, biologicals and fungicides are compatible with in-furrow applications. Seed is a big investment, and in-furrow applications can protect …
