TRIALS AND EVALUATIONS
MAXIMUM: Soybean crop response to different nutritional strategies
OBJECTIVE:
Evaluate the effect of foliar fertilizers and biostimulants on soybean growth and yield. Estimate the gross income and additional net margin for each treatment.
TRIAL CONDITIONS
Location: Hernando, Córdoba.
Date: 2024/2025 Campaign
CONCLUSION:
Maximum (T4) stood out as the most balanced strategy in the trial: Highest yield stability and superior economic return. Simple management without complicating spray applications. Higher pod count per plant. Improved grain filling.
IMPACT: Stabilizing effect of different adjuvants on spray mixes
OBJECTIVE:
Evaluate the performance of different adjuvants as stabilizers in mixes with physical and chemical stability issues.
TRIAL CONDITIONS
CONCLUSION:
- Adjuvants A (Impact) and B (MSO + surfactants + silicones) were the most effective in resolving physical incompatibilities. - The Buffer (F) proved essential for chemical incompatibilities, achieving 100% effectiveness. - Selecting the right adjuvant is key to ensuring stability in complex agrochemical tank mixes.
IMPACT:
Impact provides stability and compatibility in spray tank mixes, reducing the risk of mix separation and equipment clogging. Its unique market formulation preserves active ingredient efficacy, optimizing weed control and ensuring a more uniform, effective application.
IMPACT against Conyza: proven superiority in double-knockdown strategies
OBJECTIVE:
Comparing the performance of Impact adjuvant (modified MSO) vs. MSO + organosilicone surfactants within double-knockdown strategies without pre-August treatments.
TRIAL CONDITIONS
Location: Field with late corn stubble, Punta del Agua, Córdoba, Argentina.
Target Species: Conyza sp. (Horseweed / Fleabane) – High infestation level and advanced growth stage.
CONCLUSION:
For Conyza sp., IMPACT adjuvant demonstrated superior performance compared to MSO + organosilicone surfactants across most evaluated treatments 20 days after the second-knockdown application.
IMPACT:
Control Efficacy: Consistent results and steady performance. A key advantage in critical scenarios, such as advanced growth stages and high weed density.
FORWARD allows reducing glyphosate rates without loss of efficacy
OBJECTIVE:
Evaluate whether the addition of Forward maintains control efficacy with lower glyphosate rates in hard water (250 and 1000 ppm CaCO₃).
TRIAL CONDITIONS
Location: Punta del Agua, Córdoba, Argentina.
Target Species: Vicia villosa and Secale cereale
Date: Application: 07/05/22 - Evaluations through 08/18/22
Water Used: 250 ppm CaCO₃ (medium hardness) / 1000 ppm CaCO₃ (high hardness)
CONCLUSION:
Forward improves weed control in hard water and allows lower glyphosate rates without loss of efficacy.
IMPACT:
EIQ reduction
