Growers across the country have experienced positive harvest efficiency benefits after using Headline AMP® fungicide on their corn crops during the season.
In addition to managing disease pressures throughout corn fields, proactive use of Headline AMP fungicide provides Plant Health benefits including growth efficiency and stress tolerance.
These Plant Health benefits help increase stalk strength and therefore reduce lodging, leading to easier and faster corn harvests at the end of the season.
"Lodged corn can cause yield losses of up to 25 percent and add an extra 5.5 days per each 1,000 acres to harvest," said Caren Schmidt, Ph.D., Technical Market Manager, BASF. "Research indicates the disease control and Plant Health benefits of Headline AMP fungicide correlate to healthier plants and strong stalks for a more efficient corn harvest.”
A new educational video from BASF highlights the Plant Health benefits of Headline AMP® fungicide and the harvest efficiency benefits it provides to growers.
