Which Chandler crop product should I try first?
Unlike some other companies, we are not selling a complete system or package that requires you to make big adjustments in the way you manage your crops. Over the years, one of our main goals has been to fit the Chandler products into individual farming operations.
Many of our long-term customers started with Chandler Dry Seed Treat because it has a low per-acre cost (about $1 per acre on corn) and they are already using talc or graphite to help seeds flow through their planter or drill. Also, the initial benefits of Dry Seed Treat can be seen in the root system soon after germination, and the product has a relatively higher return on investment.
Although the individual products are designed to enhance different functions of the soil and the plant, the products work together to provide mutual benefits. For example, Biocat 1000 reduces problems with seedling emergence by breaking down residue in the seed row. Also, the improvements in soil structure provided by Chandler Soil help plant roots to penetrate deeper into the soil profile. For these reasons, many of our customers routinely use two or more of the Chandler crop products in combination.
What is the per-acre investment if I use Dry Seed Treat, Soil, and Biocat 1000?
Many of our users apply Chandler Soil and Biocat 1000 at the pint (16 ounce) per acre rate in order to get the most effective results, and the per-acre cost of Dry Seed Treat depends on the seeding rate. For corn, soybeans, and most small grains, you can apply all three Chandler crop products for less than $20 per acre under our seasonal discount programs.
