Severe drought conditions throughout the 2020 growing season had a grain seed grower in Southwest Nebraska more than concerned. In late May all his dryland wheat was dying, while his irrigated wheat under pivot was fine.
He had just planted 160 acres of dryland Golden German Foxtail Millet and was concerned it would suffer the same fate as the dryland wheat.
He sprayed all 160 acres of Golden millet with Ocean Organics Guarantee® seaweed extract in early June. Guarantee has long been shown to aid stress recovery along with promoting better growth and yield.
A long season of drought was ahead. We suggested he apply Stress Rx® Ag (6-0-1). This product contains seaweed extract along with nutrients and osmoprotectants that significantly increase stress tolerance, survival potential and recuperative ability from heat, drought and salinity. He applied it 2/3rds gal. per acre on 80 acres.
