SOIL & CROP BIOTECHNOLOGY CHANGING THE GAME FOR NUTRIENT AND FERTILITY MANAGEMENT

Field Management

Many growers can relate to this scenario: a seed with impressive genetic potential, but something goes amiss and causes disappointing results.

Often, the culprit lurks beneath the soil’s surface.

This is where Pattern Ag—a standout from AgriGold’s recent Innovation Days throughout the Midwest—steps in as a trusted partner in predictive agronomy. Rather than leaving crop success to chance, Pattern Ag leverages cutting-edge technology and a deep understanding of soil biology to predict and mitigate risks of pests and diseases.

Here’s how Pattern Ag is revolutionizing the way growers approach their crops.

PREDICTING THE UNPREDICTABLE

Pattern Ag’s approach is straightforward yet groundbreaking. Its technology analyzes soil biology to predict the risks that could negatively impact crops during the growing season. By focusing on soil biologicals, growers can gain valuable insights that help predict and prevent potential issues.

This helps transform crop management from reactive to proactive—and ultimately boost chances of success.

TURNING SOIL INTO INSIGHTS

One of Pattern Ag’s key strengths is its ability to transform complex biological data into actionable insights. The technology provides sub-field-level information, allowing informed seed selection decisions. Instead of guessing which seeds might perform best, it relies on data-driven recommendations tailored to specific field conditions and needs.

COMPREHENSIVE PEST AND DISEASE COVERAGE

Pattern Ag’s predictive capabilities extend to a wide range of pests and diseases for both corn and soybeans. They can forecast the risk of threats such as corn rootworm, northern corn leaf blight (NCLB), soybean cyst nematode, sudden death syndrome (SDS) and more. This helps growers select seed varieties best equipped to handle each field’s unique challenges.

BEYOND PESTS AND DISEASES

Pattern Ag doesn’t stop at pests and diseases. The company also works with biofertility factors and assesses critical elements like soybean nitrogen fixation, denitrification, plant growth promoters and arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF).

Nutrient analysis is also part of the comprehensive service, which evaluates levels of N, P, K, Ca, Mg, S, Zn, Fe, Cu, Mn and B, as well as pH, Buffer pH, OM and CEC. This holistic approach considers every aspect of soil health to achieve optimal yields.

ACTIONABLE INSIGHTS, INFORMED DECISIONS

Pattern Ag’s strength lies in its ability to translate complex soil biology into practical risk thresholds and actionable agronomic insights. This information empowers decision-making that reduces risks, enhances crop health and ultimately increases yield.

Colwich, Kansas

Tony Spexarth

Raising 100 bu beans has been a goal on our farm the last few years now. We planted 4190RX this year and at this point in the season, I have really high hopes that they will reach that goal. They are looking great. Planting early is one of the key elements that I think will help us achieve this goal. I value working with my AgriGold team to push toward our goals.

The Price Family

AgriGold has the best service of any company I’ve ever worked with. From sales to agronomy, they care about our success, and most importantly, they have a line-up of hybrids that is second to none.

Scott Ebelhar

We've been raising AgriGold soybeans since they started selling them. AgriGold has helped us to increase our average soybean yield year after year. Our Seed Representative, Jared Mathies, along with our agronomist, Josh Johnston, deliver a one-two punch by matching the right varieties with our soil types which has helped us achieve the yields we covet.

Mcclure Farms

With record breaking rainfall in 2019 and record breaking cold temps to start 2020, we have been reminded once again that we continue to underestimate the potential and the resiliency of the soybean.
Lake City, Iowa

Mark Schleisman

We like planting AgriGold for two reasons: 1.) Our AgriGold Key Account Specialist helps us pick the best hybrids available for our situations. 2.) When we plant these hybrids, they perform as expected or even better... high yield and great agronomics!
Templeton, Iowa

Ben Klocke

AgriGold offers a nice lineup of hybrids and varieties that perform great on different soil types to give me maximum ROI.
Vincennes, Indiana

Alex Rusch

We have been customers for a long time and AgriGold has always had good genetics and stands up against competitors when it comes to performance. Our AgriGold rep does a great job scouting our fields and is always there for us with solid agronomic advice. Our favorite AgriGold corn hybrids are A6659 and A647-90. Their standability, yield potential and dry down capacity are great compared to competitors. When it comes to soybeans, we really like 3850s and 2900s. We actually were one of the first farms to plant AgriGold soybeans and were THE first to have AgriGold soybeans delivered to our farm. We have never regretted that decision in the years since.
