Results
Strategic herbicide combined with Nova foliar applications significantly enhanced soybean yield under variable environmental conditions resulting in higher yield and return on investment to the farm.
- Notable yield improvements with use of Nova FLOW and Nova PULSE even with reduced rainfall
- The foliar treatment at post-emergence increased soybean yield by an average of 11.07 bu/A and an ROI of 7.4:1
