    More PGR(Manipulator) results...









    I will let the pictures speak for themselves.

    EDIT...damn pic orientation! I took the pics with the phone upright and posted them with the phone upright(android). Nicole, why does this happen.

            I will check that out. I like using my phone in the landscape mode too. Is your phone camera defaulted to landscape or the whole phone. I always have my screen rotation activated....that may be causing some issues too.

                .....and magnifying glasses. 😆

                Very very very very little found...you have to look for it and if conditions remain dry it shouldn't spread.

                Don't shoot the messenger.

                  Screen rotates in camera mode but if I transfer a pic it always appears just the one way. Landscape.

                    How many days does Manipulator delay the crop? 1/4 of the height is gone but much greener where manipulated in our fields too.

                      I can't answer that question. This is my first and maybe my last experience with it. I don't see what would be an alarming difference is the crop stage between the treated and untreated stuff.

                        The data suggests that economic benefit comes if lodging is prevented. No one likes lodging but not likely to see it this year.

                        The stuff aint cheap at approx $15/acre, but at least it did not burn my durum white like the $19 Prosaro XTR. Thank goodness I only sprayed 1/3 of my acres with that crap. The big boys would not give it up and they got burnt literally.

                        Sometimes the more juice we spray the more we fk it up. Spray wisely!

                          This is the pdf off IHARF's website.

                          I used the product in "anticipation" of a "potential" problem of bad lodging on that land. If I get a 10% yeild increase even in the absence of lodging I guess that is a bonus. The data suggests(and talking to the researcher personally) that even in years without lodging there was a yeild bump, this could be a different year considering we never got a weather event to push the crop down AND it's potential is limited because it's running out of moisture. I only applied it to 160 acres to get a feel for it.

                            Yield building products are like steroids in the Olympics. If one guy is using them that guy has an unfair advantage. If everyone is using them everyone is on a level playing field, and the only winner is the steroid manufacturer. We continue to grow more for less and the only winner is the chem cos.

                            So when we do our break even calculations on products don't forget to factor in the reduced over all price of grain when everybody starts using em.

                              BL....I was honestly trying to mitigate the lodging, first and foremost....I knew the wheat variety I was using could produce a lodging wreck. My future mitigation is now using a midge tolerant "semi dwarf" variety. The only place I may see a fit for the PGR using the new variety might be on the doubled up inputs on the headlands.
