General application recommendations

All recommendations are based on field experience and trial results worldwide. Genetics by environment (G X E) must be considered in all applications as this has an impact on plant growth and production. Please contact your local supplier/advisor for additional technical assistance. Each recommendation should be adapted to local conditions and/or optimized depending on crop varieties, soil, environment, and fertilization programs.
