Protecting Yield Potential: Addressing Deer Damage Before It Starts 06/05/2026

Across the United States, deer cause an estimated $1.7 billion dollars in agricultural losses each year through crop consumption and trampling. From newly emerged soybeans and corn to specialty crops and supplemental food plots, deer pressure can quickly reduce stand quality and yield. As deer populations continue to thrive in many agricultural regions, growers are increasingly looking for proactive solutions to help protect their crops before the damage occurs.
Building Resilient Fields: The Role of Herbicides in Integrated Crop Management 05/21/2026

As weed populations adapt over time, many species have also developed resistance to commonly used herbicide products, making them harder to control. This resistance forces growers to rely on more complex management strategies, and Helena Products Group is using technology to simplify these strategies for growers across the country.
Raising the Bar: How Helena’s Applicator Training Invests in People, Precision and Performance 05/07/2026

At Helena, People…Products…Knowledge®… is more than just a catchphrase; it’s a culture. Nowhere is that more evident than in how we invest in our applicators. To many growers, they are the true face of Helena.
Building Smarter Herbicide Programs in a Resistance Era: Innovations in Herbicide Technology 05/06/2026

As the 2026 growing season gets underway, one area drawing increased attention is the Endangered Species Act and how it intersects with crop protection, application practices and regulatory compliance.
Nutritional Planning for 2026: What AGRIntelligence Data Says To Watch Now 05/04/2026

When growers talk fertility, the conversation often starts with the big three — nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium. That focus is beginning to shift. AGRIntelligence data shows macronutrients are largely optimized across the US, leaving micronutrients as a frequent reason yields stall short of their ceiling.
Enhancing Early-Season Weed Control 03/10/2026

The addition of a quality adjuvant in pre-emergence applications can help growers start off on the right path this season.
Be Almond Wise: Building the Foundation for a High-Yield Almond Season 02/02/2026

A productive almond season begins with a successful bloom. Flower formation is one of the most influential stages for final yield, yet it takes place in a short window of time and depends heavily on the tree’s stored energy reserves.
