New Products The Latest and Greatest Rocket Seeds by Compass Minerals Compass Minerals Plant Nutrition has launched Rocket Seeds, a portfolio of dry and liquid seed nutritionals featuring unique, patent-pending products. The seed nutritional portfolio is formulated to increase early growth and plant vigor. Each of the products in the Rocket Seeds portfolio offers exceptional nutritional value and a different combination of nutrients to improve plant quality, stand and maximize root mass. Two of the four newly launched Rocket Seeds products, PMZ Dry and PMZ Liquid, are specially formulated to boost early-season root growth for all major row crops. When applied to soybeans and other pulse crops, Moly Dry and Moly Liquid products help to improve nitrogen efficiency of plants, produce larger, more vigorous seedlings and enhance nodulation. Rocket Seeds products are now available through select agricultural retailers. Learn more at www.rocketseedsnutrition.com or www.compasscrops.com. Valley GPS Corner Guidance Valley GPS Guidance now uses advanced power line carrier (PLC) technology to communicate RTK GPS correction signals. This technology improves the reliability of communication with the corner arm. Additionally, the built-in terrain compensation provides more accurate steering on steep terrain. This advanced guidance solution works much like automated steering and tractor guidance. It maneuvers the corner on a precise, predetermined guidance path. Built-in terrain compensation reduces over-steering on rolling terrain or high ridges, resulting in a straighter and more consistent wheel track for less crop damage. With direct connection to the control panel, Valley GPS Guidance can provide accurate pivot position for help with end guns, VRI and stop-in-slot. Valley GPS Guidance is compatible with all Valley control panels and corner models. It also easily retrofits onto an existing Valley corner with John Deere/NavCom or other solutions with multi- or single-frequency GPS guidance. Contact Valley Irrigation at www.valleyirrigation.com. BioSafe Sustainable Soils Program Working closely with local growers, BioSafe Systems has developed a new pathogen and pest soil solution utilizing peroxyacetic acid (PAA), hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) and a blend of beneficial microbes. This "Sustainable Soils Program" is a crop-neutral, flexible program that gives growers the assurance that their plants will grow quickly without succumbing to disease and nematodes. The program operates on the principle of "out with the bad, in with the good." The program involves using BioSafe's powerful, non-residual, peroxyacetic acid in TerraStart (or TerraClean 5.0 for organic grows) before planting to eliminate soil pathogens and pests immediately. Soil can be treated throughout the season. Later, once the soil profile is clean and free of pathogen pressure, BioSafe's TerraGrow and PVent biofungicide are applied. TerraGrow can be chemigated or drenched directly into already treated soil to establish a strong and beneficial population. To learn more, visit www.biosafesystems. com/sustainable-soils-program. Farm Dog/Deere/ADAMA Mobile-to-Sprayer Integration Farm Dog, John Deere and ADAMA previewed their mobile-to-sprayer integrated solution to 750 agriculture professionals at the 2019 Develop with Deere Conference in Chicago in late January. The solution increases labor efficiency on the farm by simplifying information sharing and reducing the likelihood of operational errors for agronomists, growers and spray equipment operators. The solution seamlessly integrates two key activities in precision agriculture for pest and disease management: treatment recommendation based on in-field observations and variable-rate spray application. Growers and agronomists will now be able to create treatment recommendations within the Farm Dog mobile appl and send them directly from the field to variable-rate spray equipment via John Deere Operations Center, without risk of miscommunication of key information. Artificial intelligence empowers users with insights into treatment history, local regulations, crop specifics and other key agronomic inputs.
