Due to the high temperatures that will be occurring, we recommend that late crops of elotero corn, sorghum and safflower make applications of water in the afternoon-night in order to take advantage of the humidity as sprayed while their stomata are open and thus way to help the crop in the face of a lack of humidity.
For safflower crops close to threshing, we recommend that you contact your assigned technical advisor to carry out an evaluation of the grain moisture in order to estimate the threshing date.
Please pay attention to the recommendations of the AARFS meteorological platforms.
