Other Nutritional Considerations
Above program was based on soil test results provided to AgriGuardian™ by Jack's Bean Company, and on how the company could apply products to the crop. 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.
IgniteS2® was applied by Jack's Bean Company to all seed used by all companies participating in this comparison. IgniteS2® is marketed by AgriGuardian™, and was supplied by AgriGuardian™ for use in this study.
