In the last couple of years there has been a lot of talk on biologicals. Biologicals in agriculture are a broad category of plant protection products that are derived from living organisms and used in both organic and conventional crop production systems. They can be used to protect plants from disease, insect pests, and competition from weeds. Biologicals can be complementary or alternative solutions to conventional crop protection products, and can be used in an integrated pest management (IPM) program or as a stand-alone method. They are safe for humans and the environment, and can help maximize crop yields, improve equality, and minimize pest resistance.

Bulk spreading fertilizer on crops ensures uniform nutrient distribution, promoting even growth and preventing deficiencies. It is efficient, cost-effective, and allows farmers to cover large areas quickly. Modern equipment can be calibrated for precise application rates, maintaining soil health and increasing yields. This method reduces labor, time, and costs while minimizing runoff and waste, making it a practical and environmentally beneficial choice for farmers.

Variable rate application (VRA) is a precision farming technique that involves applying different amounts of agricultural inputs to different areas of a field based on the specific needs of that area. Advantages including higher average yields, lower farm input costs, and environmental benefits from applying fewer inputs.
