Crop Aid seed on wheat and pulses
Crop Aid Plus in with 28-0-0 or Alpine in seed row .
will add Crop Aid plus if we do any fungicide

Wheat SxS

Crop Aid 2 years on right and top
from A few years ago
don’t do anymore SxS’s , we know it’s working
Much healthier plants and around a 5 bus increase in wheat and 3 in canola at the time .
Brix levels higher as well , 2-3 pts
“Should” apply on all acres at fungicide timing but with drought conditions at that time of year have have been reluctant to spend the extra money

See what that looks like

Do you still use a fungicide based seed treatment in conjunction with crop aid seed on your wheat or Crop Aid seed by itself?

We use about a 70% rate of Rancona Trio with Crop Aid Seed
some just use Crop Aid Seed

I can make a tote of extract up for you if you wanna try some as seed treat. What kinda seed treater do you have?
I put 160liters on 500 bushels cereals/pulses.

Just use a G3 for cereals

TAS sorry. . I see those 1A and 1 B soil samples
are those between what has been crop aid ( ill assume 1 A) and what wasnt crop aided ( 1 B)?

You may have covered that in a previous text ... sorry if you did.
it looks like its adjusting the calcium in your soil which van honestly be the root ( pun intended) of so many issues that we as 6 inch farmers ( double entendre intended) try to fix with macros ( N P or K) when often micros or going after that calcium can fix our soil issues long term vs yr over yr ( usually with poorer results)
calcium is a bugger.

Soil tests + tissue sampling is so important on a farm.
super interesting with your brix levels too.

I’m thinking the calcium level to change it’s a different part of the field. Even though they are gps referenced. First sample is after one year compost extract infurrow and one foliar application early flower. The second one is after the second year. Only 1.5 pounds of phos applied.( 1 pound infurrow and .5 foliar. ). Thats a lot of phos after 2nd year. There is over 200 pounds now. All my fields have phos showing on the 6”-24”. After 2nd year of using compost extracts.
Im going to use more sap analysis this coming year. Far more accurate
The idea of putting on lots of 11-52 to increase phos levels, build program is purely there to take your money. Doing the build program shuts down the biology your crop needs.
The biggest thing if you’re going to use any biology, You need an environment that it can thrive in. If you put out mychorizal fungi and lots of phos. The phos comes first so the plant won’t hook up with the fungi and the fungi gets lost.

I just strap 3/8hose on above intake on auger and let run in. There is 3x the volume going in compared to using traditional seed treatments. Coverage is good. There is some minerals I throw in with it. Cheap compared to using other seed treatments,not toxic and it works.
“Easy low hanging fruit to pick” switching over from chemical seed treatments to biological
