Let weeds sneak in early during the critical weed-free period early in the season and you’ll lose yield even when the crop and the weeds are small. Not only will weeds compete for water and nutrients, but plants can also change their growth pattern in the face of competition. Your crop detects changes in the […] Read more

Farmers are increasingly challenged to provide their crops with enough fertilizer to maximize yields but not so much that it will be lost to the environment. While strides have been made in application and use efficiency, weather, soil health, application constraints and other factors continue to affect fertilizer longevity and effectiveness. Anuvia offers its line […] Read more

With growers having harvested a canola crop that was significantly better than last year’s, it’s time to look to the next growing season and consider what worked, what didn’t and how to get the most from your crop.
