Late Crop Right Call Greg Patterson & Darren Fisher
About this episode
Dan Aberhart hosts a live panel discussing in-crop nutrition decisions in a split-season year with experts Greg Patterson and Darren Fischer.
Dan Aberhart hosts Greg Patterson (A&L Canada Laboratories) and Darren Fischer (Crop-Aid Nutrition) for a live panel on in-crop nutrition decisions in a split-season year. Dan opens by framing the season: half of Saskatchewan cereals and canola have caught up due to recent heat; the other half is sitting in moisture-surplus conditions where flooding is the number-one source of crop damage. The episode covers practical in-season decisions in both scenarios -- foliar timing, tissue testing protocol, the case for pairing a foliar with every fungicide or herbicide pass, and the specific nutritional interactions (potassium, boron, phloem function, nitrate accumulation) that determine whether a good-looking crop actually gets to the finish line. Greg Patterson walks through A&L's tissue report format and monitoring program. Darren Fischer provides field-level observations from his Crop-Aid crop tour and explains their two-product foliar lineup by stage and condition. Dan also plays a pre-recorded farm-walk clip from Darren Sander (Sander Farms, Sovereign SK) as a real-time field report.
