We've been busy. More than 30 years of spray calculators, excel spreadsheets and decision-support tools are now migrating to 101 as web apps. The first batch is now live. apps.sprayers101.com/

10 year zone maps ✅ Zone by zone sampled ✅ Not in corner arm or field edge ✅ Only a single variable changed ✅ Local trials are a lot of work, but we do them so you know if a product is actually the right fit for your farm, and not just the latest “flavour of the year”
10ft potato digs this afternoon with @voss_ag Collecting data in partnership with @yara and our willing growers. Looking forward to seeing the results, then TerraMar diggging will commence!

Solution? #Terramar applied with #fungicide applications. Keep plants cooler, save more sucrose/photosynthate for #Yield!

This is the #Terramar effect. It’s been above 30C for a few days. 34C/93F today. Flowers are still open and pollinating on the east and west. Love it when we can show growers a line in the field! Talk to your @NutrienAgRetail about @AgricenCo and @growloveland Terramar

And, if you take a close look, you’ll see those aren’t 80 ac pivots. This is a full section, corner to corner canola.

Does #Terramar really cool off a #Canola crop? see for yourself! Treated on left 32.6 C vs untreated at 37.1 C. 4.5 C cooler for #Terramar or 8.1 F cooler

#Canola is subject to #bloomblast at 27.6 Degrees C. #Terramar mitigates heat stress in #Canola by increasing uptake of #potassium that controls water movement and vapor loss--keeping plants cooler @AginMotion 2026

#Terramar applied to 2 different crops (#Canola, #Soybeans) in 2 different countries; Canada 🇨🇦 and USA 🇺🇸 with the same result-lower canopy temperatures! "Beat the Heat" with #Terramar

A lot of #Terramar trials in irrigated Southern Alberta. Potatoes, beets, corn, seed canola, and more. Early results are looking promising. Talk to your @NutrienAgRetail teams about this exciting product.

"Beat the Heat" with #Terramar added to 2nd pass #herbicide sprays or with #fungicide applications Below temp readings taken 2 pm near Darlingford, #Manitoba with ambient air temps at 39 degrees Celsisus (102 degrees F) #Terramar treated #canola (on left) was 3.8 C or 6.8 degrees F COOLER! Applied at 1 Liter per acre at 2nd pass herbicide. Works GREAT on #Corn #Soybeans and #CerealGrains too! (all crops)

In a few years, some observant agronomist will be scratching their head when the soil or tissue test spikes for calcium and magnesium. This is very cool. Thanks for sharing.
I've never seen this one, even in other flood years. These snail shells were washed out of the sloughs and runs into the fields. I now have sand bars made of snail shells

I debate with folks about how to manage irrigation and nutrients in potatoes. Will roots go below where you planted the mother? Yes, probably some. Will they go between rows? Also yes. However, this cross section shows best. Manage where most of the roots are.

When the temperature consistently exceeds 30 degrees celcius in soybeans they will experience heat stress. This leads to aborted flowers, fewer pods and reduced yields. We don’t want that. We apply TerraMar. @NutrienAg_SAB @SWalisser @12Chappy @EgelandRandall @AGRICENLIFER

First stripe rust reporting in a commercial winter wheat field for us, near Coaldale. 2% incidence and 2% severity. Maybe also the first reporting for Southern Alberta?
