Nanotechnology may influence multiple industries such as energy, water treatment, health and medicine. In agriculture, nanotechnology may involve using tiny particles developed at an atomic or molecular level to more effectively deliver crop inputs, such as yield-enhancers and crop protection products, and improve productivity. Otherwise known as nanoparticles, these small particles in our case measure 50 nanometers to 100 nanometers. …

In early-planted soybean fields with cold and wet soils, seeding diseases like soybean sudden death syndrome (SDS) can have an economically significant eect on yields. In 2014, for example, our team found 20 percent yield losses attributed to SDS in some fields. Addressing SDS and its triggers early can minimize the disease’s impact. Primarily, SDS stems from the Fusarium virguliforme pathogen, …

With the right production environment and inputs, wheat can be a winner on your farm. BigYield.us has several products proven to improve wheat plant health, yields and total production on your farm this year. Our team especially likes the potential that foliar applications have this year for boosting wheat yields. Our BigWheat150, Yield- Booster and BigBioYield products all may be used …

USDA recently released updated net farm income data. It shared that net farm income totaled $90.4 billion in 2014, and it’s projected to total $55.9 billion in 2015. Not since 2002 has net farm income dropped to levels lower than those predicted for 2015. Just two years ago, net farm income hit a $123.3 billion high. The projections suggest that …

Most everyone knows that the world’s population will grow from about 7 billion people today to exceed an estimated 9 billion people by 2050. That along with an expanding middle class will require agriculture to double food production, but USDA tells us that global production is not accelerating fast enough. Some people may suggest that planting all GMO crops would …

As a blend of beneficial bacteria, crop biologicals have multiple benefits. Those available from BigYield.usTM encourage plant health, unlock nutrients bound to the soil, deter soil-borne disease infection, promote root development and facilitate plant vigor. Ultimately, by using crop biologicals from BigYield.usTM, growers improve the crop growing environment and plant health. When applying biologicals, producers have three choices: in-furrow application, …

BIll Cook of BigYield.us and JJ Stoekl discuss soybean podding in an East Coast research plot.

Beth Dickey of BigYield.us gives a comparison between two soybean plants in the Virginia Beach area. One of the plants was treated with our BigYield.us products, the other is a check.
