Benefits of lab integrated crop advising
Why Lab Integrated Crop Advising?
Most agriculture laboratories and crop advising companies are often in separate companies, in different cities, and staff often never even meet each other.
At Apical, growers and Agronomists have the opportunity to work directly with laboratory personnel that know and understand the laboratory methods intimately. This connection has allowed the lab staff and growers to learn from one another to refine analysis methods based on crop success.
Grower Benefits - Product Efficacy
Hundreds of growers around the country trust Apical to monitor their crops for crop input success by providing recommendations on the crops they grow.
By sampling pre and post-treatment of treated and control groups, growers can conduct simple yet powerful experiments that can build crop intelligence for future seasons.
Grower Benefits - Product Penetration
By working with a lab that tests product efficacy in the field, Growers have the opportunity to monitor product efficacy and comparison. Additionally, growers have partnered with apical to spearhead effective tank mix pairings of a range of crop inputs (plant amendment w/ micronutrient; soil amendment w/ microbial inoculant, organic pesticide w/organic biosurfactant, etc.) to increase efficacy, drive down costs, and solve on farm problems consistently.
Integrating Lab Science with Crop Input Development
Since 2013, Apical has worked directly with crop input manufacturers worldwide to develop, implement, and refine some of the most cutting-edge crop inputs. Next-generation crop input manufacturers now have the opportunity to build a feedback loop for product improvement between Apical and its customers.
This relationship has allowed growers access to product samples, newly released products and tank blend formulations.
