Working with Hummingbird Technologies in 2020 has given a different angle on the crop, an angle that has shown crop differences to be measured even when no differences could be seen when walking into the field.
In 2020 ourselves and Hummingbird Technologies worked with agronomists
and farmers with split fields of ALLSTAR® and azoxystrobin.
Applications were made using the in-furrow applicators on the farm by the grower. Sites were monitored and overflown with drones,
as the crops emerged and developed to full canopy.

Sites were sample dug for size grading concluding:
