Mid-Summer Crop Care: Tools for Pest Control and Fertilization

July 1, 2025

Control and Fertilization

As summer continues in South Georgia, crops are at peak growth and nutrient demands are high. Delivering the right fertilizer at the right time is essential for keeping plants healthy and maximizing yield potential.

At Lasseter Tractor Company, we help local growers in areas like Moultrie, Tifton, and Douglas stay on top of mid-season nutrient management with dependable equipment. A standout choice for this work is the John Deere 600R equipped as a dry spin spreader.


John Deere 600R with Dry Spinner Spreader

The 600R Series is built for precision application and mid-season efficiency. It’s a popular choice for use with a dry spinner spreader to apply fertilizer and soil amendments quickly and evenly across the field.


Key advantages for South Georgia growers include:

  • Even nutrient distribution to promote consistent crop growth
  • High-capacity hopper for fewer refills and more time in the field
  • Adjustable spread patterns to match different crop and row configurations
  • Comfortable cab for long days of application work


With the 600R, you can cover more acres in less time while reducing waste and ensuring your crop gets the nutrients it need


Precision Ag Technology


Pair the 600R with John Deere Precision Ag tools for even better results. GPS guidance, variable-rate application, and field mapping help ensure every pass is accurate. You can reduce overlap, improve efficiency, and make data-driven adjustments throughout the season.



Attachments and Accessories


We can help customize your 600R setup for your operation. Options include:

  • Additional hopper covers for weather protection
  • Calibration tools for accurate rate settings
  • Upgraded controls for more precise application
  • Lighting packages for early morning or late evening work
