Elders Graduate Agronomists from across Australia recently travelled to Tamworth to undertake a guided trial site tour with Jon Dadd, Corteva's Territory Account Manager and field station focal point for the Corteva Agriscience Breeza research station.
Elders Graduate Agronomy Cohort 2023 with Corteva’s (L-R) Hugh Mayo, SA and WA State Sales Manager, Jon Dadd (back row), Territory Account Manager, Jack Madgwick (front row), NSW Territory Manager and Nick Delsanto, Farm Assistant.
Corteva’s fully irrigated Breeza research station is located on the Liverpool Plains, facilitating crop research on both winter and summer crops grown in the surrounding agricultural area.
“The key element of the trial site tour was to introduce the Elder’s agronomy graduates to Utrisha® N and the research we are currently undertaking,” Mr Dadd said.
“By engaging directly with up-and-coming agronomists, we hope to forge relationships which will encourage them to become future product trial co-operators.”
Trial site tours are vital in providing a platform for agronomists to speak directly to suppliers, gaining an understanding of current and soon to be released products. This includes fundamentals such as how the product works, identified constraints and application for varying crop types.
Mr Dadd explained how Utrisha® N Nutrient Efficiency Biostimulant supplements Urea application to achieve target yields.
“Global research indicates that Utrisha® N will supplement and/or reduce the amount of drilled or post-emergent application of Urea, enabling crops to maximise yield targets.”
“The future success of cropping outcomes is really going to rely on the supplemental application of Nitrogen, as a re-active or preventative action, either as a gas, prilled or foliar option.”
