Accurate mapping and strategic application are key to providing effective weed control.

PROBLEM

The field was sprayed on 6/10 immediately after planting, but the first mission on 6/20 still showed 14% weed pressure despite the herbicide application.

RECOMMENDATION

Create a zone map of the field to develop a precise prescription application map, ensuring targeted and efficient herbicide use.

OPPORTUNITY

Retailer Opportunity
Strengthen advisor credibility by recommending targeted herbicide use — 37 of 78 acres treated at $25/acre — while proving the value of timely, data-driven applications.

Grower Opportunity
Save $1,025 by avoiding unnecessary whole-field spraying and gain $44/acre in yield (11 bushels) by stopping weed pressure before it spread.
