PGRs: Maximizing Barley Yield While Minimizing Losses - Carlo Van Herk

With Alberta farmers cultivating 3–4 million acres of barley annually, optimizing production practices is critical. Carlo Van Herk aims to share results from a three-year trial, conducted at three sites across Alberta, studying three barley varieties. His study evaluates whether the application stage of Moddus Plant Growth Regulator (PGR) can be adjusted and if it can be safely tank-mixed with herbicides or fungicides to reduce sprayer passes. The results provide valuable insights into improving operational efficiency while maintaining yield and crop quality. Carlo Van Herk currently leads the Field Operations team, overseeing everything from the early trial stages of preparation to the late stages of harvest and analysis at Farming Smarter. He works closely with Shop Manager Toby Mandel and a rotating cast of summer students to ensure equipment is well-maintained and trials are mapped, upkept, and looking nice!
