Automatic Mist Sprayer
The Automatic MB2O Mist Sprayer offers economical fly
and mosquito control. The MB2O can be operated with any
tractor which has PTO and a 3-point hitch, mounts and
dismounts in seconds. The Mist Sprayer utilizes a powerful
fan to create a turbulent air stream. Insecticides are sprayed
into the air stream, creating a cloud of small droplets which
cover more area with active ingredient and save up to 50%
on chemicals. The sprayer creates a swath up to 150-foot
wide at tractor speeds up to 5 miles an hour, so it covers
lai ' areas in a short time.
STEEL CULVERT PIPE
Used carbon steel storage tanks which we
have removed the end (heads). Lifting lugs
attached. No coating. These tank shells make an inexpensive, quick and
strong bridge. Tank shells buried with 3 feet of ground cover can
support 80,000 lbs.
CONCRETE CULVERT PIPE
Factory Seconds, interlocking. Inner core consists of heavy
steel pipe encased in concrete.

Foliar fertilizers may remedy
Budget-conscious farmers who
opted for a basic, no-frills N-P-K
fertilizer program last spring
should keep their eyes peeled this
summer for yield-limiting
micronutrient deficiencies, says
Don Johnson, agronomist at Ar
cadian Corporation.
A deficiency of zinc, magnesium,
iron or other micronutrient-even
for the shortest period-may
severely limit the crop’s yield
potential and return on the far
mer’s N-P-K investment, he adds.
“Additional N, P, K and even
sulfur can be sidedressed during
cultivation,” he notes. “But when
it comes to applying small doses of
micronutrients, you can’t beat the
response time or the efficiency of a
proven foliar fertilizer.”
Johnson says foliar
micronutrients such as NZN, NMG
or NFE are designed for use on
crops with high-yield potential and
are generally not recommended as

soil deficiencies
replacements for good soil fer
tility.
“But if the crop is under stress
from excess moisture, hail,
disease, soil compaction or other
condition that prevents roots from
absorbing soil nutrients, a foliar
fertilizer can nurse the crop
through the stress period until it
can function on its own,” he ex
plains.
In situations where soils can
genuinely short of micronutrients,
multiple applications of a foliar
fertilizer may be needed to sustain
an adequate nutrient balance in
the crop, he says.
But a micronutrient deficiency is
not a prerequisite for getting crops
to respond to a foliar-applied
micronutnent fertilizer, Johnson
says. Research by Arcadian
Corporation and several land
grant colleges has turned up yield
increases in fields that were not
considered to be short on

micronutrients.
“Crop responses to NZN have
been so consistent that you can’t
help but second guess current
standards for zinc requirements in
high-yield crop production,”
Johnson claims.
Foliar micronutrients can be
applied by air or with a high
clearance sprayer, preferably with
a routine pesticide to save a trip
across the field. They can also be
metered through overhead
sprinkler irrigation systems.
Johnson reminds farmers that
there are two types of foliar fer
tilizers-those that actually are
designed specifically for foliar
application, and soil fertilizers that
are adapted for foliar use.
Quality foliar fertilizers
solutions made specifically for
foliar application generally allow
farmers to apply greater quan
tities of fertilizer in a single pass.
They also mix easily with most
other pesticides.
