In this episode, Rupert Vermaas, technical adviser at AECI Plant Health, looks into the importance and benefits of an in-furrow starter.

Explaining what exactly is referred to as an in-furrow starter application, Vermaas explains that it has been quite a debatable topic for the last few years now.

First, for a grower to apply a product in-furrow, there must be an in-furrow applicator around the grower’s planter. “Most of the new-age planters have options for in-furrow applicators that can be fitted onto planters,” he says.

Vermaas also shares that in-furrow applications are becoming more relevant in the modern agricultural way of thinking.

Benefits and application
Products can be applied in-furrow in row crops for various reasons and in the episode, Vermaas breaks these down. Apart from stimulating plant growth, it also stimulates soil biology and specific micro-organisms. There are other benefits, which are also explored.

In addition, he also shares details about the active ingredients found in in-furrow products, whether in-furrow products can replace fertilisers, how to best determine the kind of in-furrow products needed on your farm, and more.

In this episode, Vermaas also discusses:
