Farmers are constantly working to stay ahead of weeds, disease pressure, and early-season pest challenges. Getting the most performance from crop protection applications can make a significant difference in protecting yield potential, especially when weather and fast-growing weeds tighten application windows.
Jake Walker with Loveland Products says one area where farmers are seeing value is in tools designed to extend the effectiveness of herbicide programs.
Walker says that an additional window of protection can help farmers stay ahead of aggressive weeds such as waterhemp and Palmer amaranth.
He says that extra time can make a second herbicide pass more manageable when weeds begin to emerge quickly.
Walker says maximizing the return on crop protection investments is also important when farmers are making fungicide applications during the growing season.
He points to adjuvants designed specifically to improve fungicide performance in the field.
Walker says Loveland Products is also introducing tools designed to help crops get off to a strong start during planting.
One example is Awaken Shield Boost, a planter box treatment designed to improve seed flow while also providing additional crop protection.

Walker says the company continues expanding its portfolio of crop protection, biological, and plant nutrition technologies aimed at helping farmers protect crop performance throughout the growing season. He says growers interested in these tools should work with their crop consultants and agronomy teams to determine which solutions best fit their fields and management plans.
