Specifically, Headline helped yield five of the nine first place finishes, five of the nine second place finishes, and four of the nine third place finishes. By comparison, competitor fungicides contributed to only 11 percent of the National Corn Growers Association (NCGA) yield contest wins. “The numbers paint a clear picture. Want award-winning yields? Make a planned application of Headline fungicide for disease control that delivers Plant Health,” said Fellows. These results also confirm the data Fellows and his team have compiled from over 1,000 on-farm trials during 2006, where the average yield advantage of Headline treated corn ranged from 12 to 15 bu/A over untreated.

The key behind the success of Headline lies in its excellent disease control, the most important contributor to Plant Health. Corn treated with Headline showed stalk strength resulting in less lodging and fewer dropped ears, which meant a faster and easier harvest. Additionally, the corn yield and seed quality was improved, with less grain loss. It all adds up to more yield in the combine. Download Article
