Earlier maturity by at least 3-5 days.
-
Yield would have been greater, except for extensive shattering due to hail while waiting for other programs' crops to mature to harvest.

The program presented is a general outline of AgriGuardian™ Nutritional Program for dry beans. Individual products, rates and application methods may vary based on soil and tissue test results and how crop is grown.
