SILAGE CONDITIONER
WswJj
MOPRO
100
LIQUID
SILAGE FORTIFIER
A revolutionary new concept in improving
silages. MOPRO Liquid Silage Fortifier is for
mulated to balance the major mineral and
protein deficiencies of silages. MOPRO is
added at the time of ensiling and is applied by
metering equipment with very little handling
cost. MOPRO will not corrode mild steel tanks
or brass fittings and has no free ammonia odor
to irritate the eyes or skin. MOPRO is a
homogeneous solution of ammonia salts, urea,
cane molasses, and minerals (except salt and
calcium) in an efficient liquid carrier. It provides
nitrogen for improved fermentation in the
rumen and contains a mineral balance of
phospherous, magnesium, and trace elements.
MOPRO 100 gives a resulting silage of approx
imately 14.3% protein.

jumped. Feed grain
production, for example,
was up 41 percent; fruits and
nuts rose 44 percent; and
cotton was up 43 percent,
reports the ESCS.
For all crops, productivity
increased an average 41
percent during the decade,
while the number of acres
treated with herbicides
climbed 107 percent.
Still, because pesticides
are energy intensive, and
because farmers have grown
dependent on them, a slight
reduction m the energy
supply could cause major
problems for U.S.
agriculture. Because of that,
and the possibility that too
many chemicals could
eventually harm the en
vironment, researchers are

on the lookout for ways to
reduce pesticide use.
One way is proper pest
management. In cases
where pest management has
been poor, pesticide use
could be cut by half.
Another way to dent
pesticide use is through
improved application
methods. Estimates indicate
that with present systems,
less than 5 percent of in
secticide and fungicide
sprays hit their intended
targets.
Research is also being
aimed at changmg the
ingredients in pesticides.
While most of them are
petroleum based, scientists
think they may be able to use
water to carry the active
ingredients, but more ex
periments are needed.
