Rick Ekins, FMC, and I have talked about their 3RIVE 3D platform several times since it was introduced and Commodity Classic provided another opportunity. It’s a great time to talk about it too as planting season gets underway. So if you farmers want to farm faster FMC has this option for you. I think their quick facts sum it up pretty well.
- 3RIVE 3D is a new way to deliver crop protection products for seedling defense and yield enhancement
- Easily mounts to all major planter brands
- Includes a 130-gallon water tank, 30-gallon product tank and all other necessary components for application
- Mixes the right amount of product and water, minimizing the need for measuring and eliminating the need for mixing and tank agitation
- Delivers a three dimensional, continuous Zone of Protection directly into the furrow
- Uses low volume of water, reducing weight and refills, and speeds the progress of planting
- Plant up to 500 acres between refills
- Provides future opportunities for combining multiple active ingredients including insecticides, fungicides and biostimulants
