Scout first. Then spray.

Herbicides, insecticides and fungicides — and the application timing that makes them worth the invoice. Programs are built for the resistance pressure already on your farm.

Plan a protection program

Herbicides

Residual plus post programs written for waterhemp, marestail and the resistance story already on your fields. Multiple sites of action, every time.

Insecticides

Threshold-based, not calendar-based. Seed treatment through foliar, only when scouting says the economic line is crossed.

Fungicides

Corn and soybean disease timing against hybrid ratings, canopy and forecast — not a single “insurance” pass for everyone.

Steward protocol

Every plan comes with a spray sheet.

Protection plans include adjuvants, nozzle and drift notes, water volume and a re-entry conversation. Custom application is available so the chemistry hits the target, not the fencerow.

Mode-of-action rotationTracked per field, per year, so resistance doesn't sneak up.
Weekly scouting in seasonYour consultant walks fields on a schedule and calls before a threshold is crossed.
Weather-window schedulingWe watch wind, inversion and rainfast timing so a pass isn't wasted.

Season at a glance

When each pass happens.

Window	Pass	Target	Notes
Preplant / PRE	Residual herbicide	Waterhemp, grasses	Two sites of action; activate with rain or incorporate
V3 – V6	Post herbicide + residual	Escapes, late flushes	Layered residual for late-season waterhemp
V6 – V10	Scouting	Rootworm, corn borer	Insecticide only on threshold
VT – R2	Fungicide	Tar spot, gray leaf spot, NCLB	Hybrid rating + forecast decide the pass
R3 (soy)	Fungicide / insecticide	Frogeye, aphids, bean leaf beetle	Combined pass where scouting supports it

Get started

Resistance is a field-by-field problem.

Bring last year's herbicide records. We'll map sites of action across your rotation and show where the gaps are.
