This year AIM went digital and so did we! Enjoy all our exciting content- delivered directly to your screen. The Adam & Claude Show! Join Taurus’ own Deadly Duo Adam Smith & Claude Sander everyday this week at 8am MST for some great agronomy and an even better time! These 2 experts will be discussing […]
SPEAKING SCHEDULE Join Mike Dolinski Tuesday or Wednesday, 10 a.m. or 2:30 p.m. each day for some great agronomy and a good time! Mike takes the complex and brings it to a level of understanding that is easy to digest and entertaining to listen to! Mike will: describe what happens in plants when they come […]
Growers are no stranger to crop inputs, such as fertilizers and crop protection products. However, there is another, less widely known category of inputs that is gaining popularity on performance-driven farming operations. Agricultural biostimulants are organically or synthetically derived inputs that stimulate natural processes within a plant. They aid in plant nutrient uptake, nutrient efficiency […]
In an effort to reduce competition and maximize yield in your fields, you rely on an ever-growing list of selective pre and post-emergent herbicides. These products are formulated with active ingredients designed to kill weeds, without causing visible damage to the crop. But did you know that even though your plants may not show physical […]
How a nutritional seed dressing benefits crops out of the gate Agricultural seed dressings have come a long way. Developed to get the seed off to the strongest possible start, they lay the groundwork for healthy germination and offer protection against common stressors. Nutritional seed dressings provide a wide range of benefits, including: Improved seedling […]
Understanding and preventing nitrogen loss Using nitrogen stabilizers to halt the processes responsible for nitrogen loss in urea/UAN fertilizer provides substantial agronomic and economic benefits – ensuring you get the most bang for your buck. Today, we look at how and when to use NBPT, DCD and DMPP, the three most common nitrogen stabilizers for […]
Key micronutrient challenges While they are required in much lower quantities than macronutrients, micronutrients are every bit as important to the successful development of crops. We have chosen to focus on zinc, boron, copper and manganese because they are potentially the four biggest micronutrient challenges growers deal with. Below, we will look at the role […]
How other nutrients affect potassium uptake in plants Because of its essential role in plant health, it is important to have optimum levels of potassium in the soil – and that its uptake is not impeded. But did you know that an imbalance of certain soil nutrients can hinder potassium uptake in plants? A balancing […]
Potassium availability in the soil How do you determine potassium availability in the soil, and what factors can impact the uptake of K in crop production? It begins by understanding that potassium exists in the soil in one of three forms: unavailable, readily available and slowly available to plants. Unavailable potassium The vast majority of […]
10 AGRONOMIC RESOLUTIONS FOR THE NEW YEAR We’ve just turned the calendar on another year. We hope 2017 was good to you, and your farming operation. But what if we told you 2018 could be even better? The team at Taurus would like to share Ten Agronomic Resolutions you can make for the New Year. […]
Understanding crop available phosphorus The behavior of Phosphorus (P) in the soil has long puzzled scientists. Curiously, Phosphorus is not particularly mobile. In western Canadian soils, there is generally an extremely low probability of leaching.[1] This poses a challenge, since this key nutrient must be absorbed through the plant’s root system. Before we get into […]
Three Part Harmony: Understanding Tripartite Association. In the first two parts of this series, we looked at the symbiotic relationships agricultural plants establish with certain bacteria and fungi in the soil. When we talk about symbiosis, we are usually describing a mutually beneficial relationship between two living organisms. However, in the case of a tripartite […]
How rhizobium bacteria enhance nitrogen fixation in the pulse and soybean rotation. In the human body, there are bad bacteria that make us sick and cause infections, and good bacteria that are crucial to the digestive process. There are also good and bad bacteria within the soil, which can help or hinder certain plants. Peas, […]
How glucosinolates (GSLs) benefit canola to the detriment of the following crop. A recent blog we posted has generated a great deal of interest among canola growers. In it, we revealed that a defensive mechanism common to brassicas protects canola against soilborne disease, yet works to the detriment of the following crop. Today, we take […]
At Taurus our company mindset has always been to deliver agronomically advanced solutions that meet growers needs and exceed their expectations for their crops success. Bringing new and innovative products to the market and helping growers understand the science involved, is something we thrive on. As such, we would like to invite you to join […]
