Using the MagrowTec system, Jake was able to:

1. Reduce Chemical Inputs: The MagrowTec system allowed Rothert to reduce his chemical rates by 25-30% while still achieving superior results compared to his previous methods. This reduction in chemical inputs resulted in cost savings and a reduced environmental impact.

2. Improve Coverage and Penetration: Rothert noted that the MagrowTec system provided deeper penetration and better coverage, ensuring that the products were applied precisely where they were needed. This improved coverage resulted in better efficacy and reduced the need for reapplication.

3. Increase Efficiency: The MagrowTec system allowed Rothert to cover more acres per tank, potentially cutting out an entire spray day each week. This increased efficiency resulted in time and cost savings, providing him with an edge in a competitive market.

Overview:

MagrowTec is a company that has developed a unique magnetic assist spray system for farmers designed to increase the efficiency and efficacy of crop protection products. By using innovative technology, the MagrowTec system can significantly reduce the amount of chemical inputs required while also improving coverage and penetration.

Jake Rothert is a produce grower who has been using the MagrowTec system on his farm. He notes that vegetable crops can be extremely sensitive to pest pressure, and managing these pests while maintaining the quality of the crop can be a significant challenge. Rothert has been using a soft approach to spraying, using gentle chemistries and natural pest populations to keep the farm in balance. He sprays weekly on all vegetable crops from two weeks after planting until a week before harvest, ensuring that the timing is precise and that the products are applied where they are needed.

Rothert first heard about MagrowTec from a friend and was impressed by the system’s ability to reduce drift and improve efficacy. He conducted multiple studies on his farm and was pleased with the results. The system allowed him to reduce his gallons per acre, which meant he could cover more acres per tank, saving time and money. The MagrowTec system also provided deeper penetration and better coverage, ensuring that the products were applied precisely where they were needed.

One of the significant benefits of the MagrowTec system is its simplicity. There are no moving parts, making it a low-maintenance option for farmers. The system is also user-friendly and easy to implement, with MagrowTec’s team offering advice and troubleshooting assistance as needed.

For Rothert, the reduction in chemical inputs was a significant cost benefit. In the first year of using the MagrowTec system, he was able to reduce his rates by 25%-30% while still achieving superior results compared to his previous methods. The reduction in gallons per acre also allowed him to cover more acres per day, potentially cutting out an entire spray day each week. Overall, Rothert found that the MagrowTec system improved the efficiency of his farm, providing him with an edge in a competitive market.

In conclusion, the MagrowTec system is a unique and innovative solution to the challenges faced by farmers in protecting their crops from pests and disease. By reducing chemical inputs and improving coverage, the system can provide significant cost benefits while also improving the quality of the crop. As Jake Rothert’s experience has shown, the MagrowTec system can be a valuable addition to any farm looking to improve its efficiency and reduce its environmental impact.
