Name: James Tuel Farms Location: Bayard, Iowa Farm Details: We currently focus on field corn and soybean production, and cattle farming. Year after year, we lose considerable amounts of corn and soybeans due to deer damage. We have used temporary 3D double-row fencing for the past 12 years but there have been electrical issues, and… Read More
All in all, the repellent spray program is showing to be a great investment and we consider it to be a valuable tool.
Last year we experienced almost a 25% loss due to rabbit and rodent feeding. This year, with the application of Plantskydd, it was 2–3%.
Just wanted to thank you for producing an effective and excellent product.
“Total yield this year was 17,724 pounds. An amazing result for our two acre tract. Once again, Plantskydd certainly kept local deer in check with the perimeter spraying, as you suggested. This year, we sprayed the perimeter of corn 3 times to prevent deer from eating the silk for the corn.” James P Renshaw … Read More
“Once Plantskydd is applied, the damage virtually stops and so long as a follow up application is made 10-14 days later, the vines get through the critical phase.”
Plantskydd is used by farmers and orchardists to protect from animal browse damage the following crops: Soybeans, corn, grapes, fruit/nut trees, blueberries, cauliflower, cotton, pumpkins, strawberries, vegetables, watermelon and more.
Crops like Soybeans and Cotton need to be protected right out of the ground. The first application must be made shortly after emergence.
Unlike other repellents that quickly lose their effectiveness after irrigating or rainfall, Plantskydd is rain and snow resistant. It does not require immediate re-application after irrigation or rainfall.

We expreienced a 30% increase in yield — representing well over $1 million!
Plantskydd will definitely be included in our plans next year and we will likely use it on more acreage where we suspect underperforming sites.

Damage to the trees was dramatically reduced immediately after the first application of Plantskydd and complete control was achieved once adequate coverage was acheived.
By the end of Summer, browse damage from deer was virtually eliminated.

Overview: 155 acre vineyard planted in stages over the last few years, with deer now roaming throughout. Deer damage has become intolerable, especially on the youngest 50 acres. Riparian zones run through the property making fencing impractical.
