New Input Review These products are available for the 2020 growing season. Editor’s Note: Following is information on a new soil surfactant with a listing to the side of fungicides registered in the past couple years that may now have ample product available for use. New In-Furrow Input Activator Meherrin introduces a new in-furrow input activator to help peanut growers get the most out of their crop inputs. Furrow Maxx is a soil surfactant formulated to enhance the moisture environment in the seed furrow, benefitting any input applied in-furrow at planting. According to press information from Meherrin, the combination of soil surfactants in Furrow Maxx optimizes the moisture conditions at planting, creating an environment for improved early season plant development. This also results in improved performance of seed or furrow-applied insecticides, fungicides, nematicides and other crop inputs
such as inoculants and crops nutrients. “Furrow Maxx has really impressed me with the ease of use, safety to inoculants, and performance in making the inputs work better,” says Wayne Nixon, peanut agronomist. “As grower’s consistently deal with unpredictable environmental conditions, here is the product that protects your investment.” Furrow Maxx is a liquid formulation with a low use rate. It is compatible with furrow-applied pesticides and safe to combine in the tank with peanut inoculant.
