Harvest Checklist: Variable Rate Desiccation

Crop desiccation is an induced method to dry crops out through the use of agents like herbicides, hence accelerating the harvest process. It can improve the efficiency of agricultural production.

To manage costly inputs and increase your ease of harvest, Canada-based company Farmers Edge offers a turn-key variable rate technology (VRT) program that’s zone-based and measurable to help you optimize inputs across every acre. With unlimited variable rate recommendations for desiccation, fungicide, fertilizer and seeding, the benefits of VRT include:

• Improved profitability
• Higher yields
• Optimized input use
• Improved environmental impact
• More even maturity
