June Field Strategy: Stay Ahead with Smarter Irrigation, Nutrition & Crop Protection

 

June is a pivotal time in the growing season. Crops are established, the weather is heating up, and the pressure is on—from weeds, pests, and nutrient demands. Here’s your go-to guide to making the most of every acre this month.

 

Fine-Tune Your Irrigation with Moisture Probes

Efficient water management starts with knowing what’s happening below the surface. Moisture probes give you real-time data to make confident irrigation decisions:

  • See moisture levels at different soil depths
  • Identify when roots are actively drawing water
  • Avoid overwatering or stress from under-watering

If you’re already set up with probes, let’s review your data together. If not, we’ll help you get started.

 

Maximize Nutrient Efficiency with Side-Dress Timing

The V5–V7 growth stage is your best bet for side-dress nitrogen. The crop is actively feeding, and uptake is high. This month, we recommend:

  • Evaluating weather and field conditions to reduce compaction
  • Using Sulfur-R+ to match your N:S ratio for better efficiency
  • Pairing with Takeoff to boost nitrogen availability and use

Every pound of nitrogen matters—let’s make sure it’s working where it should.

 

Protect Your Crop from Mid-Season Stress

Between rising temperatures and biological stressors, your crops need protection. Our biostimulant Takeoff helps keep nutrients moving and stress levels low. Plus, it supports overall plant health and ROI during one of the most critical growing windows.

 

Scout Early, Act Fast

We’re already seeing activity from rootworm, aphids, and early leaf diseases. Don’t wait until it’s visible from the road. Our agronomy team is ready to scout your fields and assist you in taking action.

 

Mid-Season Crop Health Checklist

Take 30 minutes and walk your fields with this quick checklist:

  • Check canopy color and uniformity
  • Look for leaf damage or pest activity
  • Feel soil moisture or check your probe
  • Flag any trouble spots for follow-up
