Left treated with source right was untreated

SOURCE was applied to this field in partner with the grower’s post herbicide application as a replacement for side-dressing. Three weeks after application, the half of the field sprayed with source has developed a broader and deeper root system than the untreated half. I also measured the stalk’s circumference of each of the six plants that I pulled. The half that was treated averaged 3 and ½ inches and the untreated half averaged 3 inches. The height of the plants were also significantly different. Treated averaged 67 inches tall and untreated averaged 61 inches tall. Treated with SOURCE Not treated with SOURCE
