In this episode of Cutting the Curve, Damian Mason talks with Art Graves of Vive Crop Protection about how fertilizer compatibility directly impacts crop protection efficiency and overall farm productivity. The conversation centers on nano-encapsulation technology, which enables crop protection products—such as fungicides—to blend seamlessly with starter fertilizers, avoiding common issues like precipitation, clogging, and inconsistent application. Graves explains how this compatibility supports higher input concentration, reduces unnecessary water hauling, and extends pest protection beyond the initial 21–28 days provided by seed treatments. The episode emphasizes that enhanced compatibility not only improves active ingredient delivery but also supports better root and stalk health, crucial for maximizing yield potential. As the industry moves toward biologicals and precision application technologies, Vive’s nano-polymer approach shows promise for increasing efficacy and consistency across diverse tank mixes.
