Crop scouting is one of the most valuable tools available to growers during the growing season. Regular field monitoring allows potential problems to be identified early and provides the information needed to make timely management decisions.
AgraTactics Agronomy takes a hands-on approach to crop scouting, spending time in the field to evaluate crop conditions and provide practical recommendations.
Pre-Burn Scouting
The scouting process begins before spraying takes place.
During pre-burn scouting, AgraTactics Agronomy agronomists assess each field to identify early weed pressure and determine the most effective herbicide options.
With many product choices available, selecting the correct herbicide program for the weeds present in the field can significantly improve weed control and overall crop performance.
In-Season Monitoring
Throughout the growing season, AgraTactics Agronomy agronomists return to fields regularly to monitor crop development and identify any emerging issues.
Scouting visits typically occur weekly or bi-weekly and focus on:
Crop staging and growth progress
Weed pressure and herbicide effectiveness
Insect presence and potential damage
Disease development
Fungicide timing
Pre-harvest management considerations
This consistent monitoring allows growers to stay informed and respond quickly when action is required.
Clear Communication With Growers
Following each scouting visit, AgraTactics Agronomy provides updates and recommendations so growers understand the current condition of their fields and any management decisions that may be needed.
Our goal is to ensure growers have the information they need to protect crop health and maximize yield potential.
