Here’s How To Handle Hail Damage

Well, it’s hail season. We’ve already seen more than our fair share of hail-damaged soybean and corn acres, and there are surely more to come.

But even if your fields experience the feared “golfball-sized hail,” there are measures you can take to salvage the damaged crops. Federated offers several products that can de-stress and reinvigorate hail-damaged corn and soybeans.

• Mitigate® Plus uses stress-mitigation technology fueled by Rosen’s Yield Burst to increase stress tolerance and yield potential.
• Mitigate® Plus w/Enlist increases stress tolerance and yield potential in soybeans, using Rosen’s Yield Burst technology.
• Legend™ Elite offers nutrients and crop-enhancement components that provide increased performance and better yields.
• Taurus® Sulfer is a dynamic blend of sulfur and crop enhancement components that enhances nutrient uptake and increases plant health.

“These products with Yield Burst technology from Rosen’s are great at helping crops recover from hail damage and herbicide stress,” said Federated agronomy sales manager Kevin Carlson. 

Rosen’s nutritional account manager Chad Swanepoel weighs in as well. “After a hail event, stress mitigation is very important,” he said. Our Mitigate Plus products provide energy along with a stress mitigator to help plants recover.”

In addition to energy, Taurus Sulfur provides sulfur, which plays a critical role in the production if high-yielding crops. Meanwhile, Legend Elite offers six essential nutrients as well as a stress mitigator, which is what a plant needs to bounce back from a stress event.

“Think of these products like pizza and aspirin for plants,” Swanepoel said.
