Improving Nitrogen Use Efficiency
Posted in Research; Posted September 13, 2021 by McGregor Admin
Nitrogen impacts every growth stage of the plant's lifecycle and each of the three yield components, but the key to improving nitrogen use efficiency is aligning peak demands with peak availability.

Now What?! Next Steps After Frost Damage
Posted in Research; Posted April 24, 2020 by McGregor Admin
After a hard cold event, it is important to remember that you can still impact the 3 Yield Components - heads per acre, grains per head, and weight per grain. Here's what needs to be considered in order to encourage plant re-growth.
Frost Damage?

These steps and videos will guide you through staging and dissecting wheat to evaluate frost damage in your crop. Hint: Visual leaf damage is not as correlated to the viability of the plant as you might think.
How do you keep fall-applied nitrogen accessible at peak demand in April?

“In theory, we can do top dressing in the spring, we can do stream applications, we can spoon feed that crop throughout the season, which is a very common practice...
