With regards to cotton, a crop scout checks fields weekly. The scout reported recommending replications of EnSoil treatment to other non-treated fields. The cotton plants treated with EnSoil were fruiting heavier and was setting bolls at shorter node intervals on the limbs. The cotton plants also looked healthier with a darker green appearance and appeared to be holding the extra fruit it had set instead of shedding it. They showed better canopy development along with flowering and boll set. Darren is hoping this leads to improvement in the maturation of the plant. He feels if he can tighten the stages of development then he can better manage his crop for higher yields and better grades resulting in a better ROI. Darren is also pleased with the ease of application of the EnSoil. He can take mix with just about anything he wants to put out whether it be an insecticide, herbicide, or fungicide.

Darren applied 8 oz per acre of EnSoil along with a yellow herbicide at its recommended rate before planting his peanuts into a closely grazed multi species cover crop. After the peanuts emerged, he applied another 8 oz per acre application. The peanuts were in drought conditions but visually appeared to be holding up better than the untreated peanuts in the adjacent field. After finally receiving much needed rainfall a third application of EnSoil was applied at 8 oz per acre with a fungicide treatment. At this point the peanuts look to be pegging as they should be to produce a decent crop of nuts.
