COVID 19 isn’t the only factor wreaking havoc in today’s landscape - mother nature is once again proving to be a formidable foe. Spring weather has caused planting issues, changes in crop mix, and limited fertilizer applications. This lack of fertilizer is likely to cause nutrient deficiencies that lead to potentially lower yields. So how do you know your crops have a problem?  The only way to find out is to do a checkup with your crop advisor using Verify® tissue sampling.

Verify tissue sampling is a web-based application powered by our award winning, precision ag platform, OptiGro®. It allows you to take tissue samples across your fields and get results in 48 hours after sending them off. Similar to a doctor, you’ll receive a detailed report back pinpointing any problems along with a prescription of product recommendations on how to fix your unique nutritional deficiencies. Verify helps provide the right recommendation, at the right time, to drive the right decision.

Work with your crop advisor to complete a Verify tissue sample. I recommend sampling 7-10 days before a critical growth stage or before a pass is made across the field. This ensures that the proper product is selected and placed at the right field, and at the right time – follow the guidelines of the 4R’s of nutrient management
