Headline Fungicide Trials Consistent

BASF documents a fourth year of consistent disease control and yield advantage for use of Headline fungicide in corn and soybeans.

BASF reports consistent disease control and yield advantage from the use of Headline fungicide in corn and soybeans during a four-year period of on-farm trials. The increase in yield results for 2008 was especially impressive given the year’s challenging weather conditions and delayed harvest.

“We’re excited and encouraged that — despite the extraordinary weather challenges growers were faced with and the delayed harvest — use of Headline continued to show outstanding disease control and consistent yield advantage,” Fassler says.

In farm trials, the Headline yield advantage was 12 bushels to 16 bushels per acre in corn and 4 bushels to 8 bushels per acre advantage in soybeans. These results have been consistent during the past four years for the 6,000 on-farm field trials, according to BASF.

Headline is the most researched fungicide on the market and offers excellent disease control and Plant Health benefits, defending crops from stresses due to excessive rain or drought and providing healthier plants, stronger stands, and increased yield.
