The Asgrow 4P System of soybean production emphasizes four key steps to healthier plants all season long and high-yielding performance potential at harvest: Plan, Plant, Protect and Perform.
At the recent National Association of Farm Broadcasting convention in Kansas City, we visited with Asgrow marketing manager Dan Kurdys about Asgrow’s harvest results and the Asgrow 4P System.
Asgrow/Dekalb Territory Agronomist in Eastern Indiana, Aaron Gault is excited about the products in the Asgrow pipeline and what they will mean for farmers. Gault talks about how farmers can take advantage of the Asgrow Performance System and the 4 Ps – Plan, Plant, Protect, Perform.

Aaron Gault, Territory Agronomist for Dekalb and Asgrow in Eastern Indiana, says a mild winter, combined with an early spring is bringing about increased insect pressure.
“I’m seeing bean leaf beetle pressures on the early planted beans, not meeting threshold levels yet, but in my 10 years in the field more pressure of a lot of insects,” said Gault. “We’re looking at army worm, we had early flights of black cutworm, corn borer pressure, western bean cutworm, we’ve got an early corn rootworm hatch, so insects are going to be there and we need to be in the fields monitoring those more than we ever have.”
Gault recommends field scouting at least weekly when possible.
