The image below is from one of our in-furrow corn plots this year. As you can see, the corn treated with BP In-Furrow has a bigger ear. There are 22 kernel rows on the corn treated with BP In-Furrow, compared to 16 kernel rows on the check.

The image below is from one of our in-furrow corn plots this year. As you can see, the corn treated with BP In-Furrow has a much thicker root mass, and will create more organic matter for the soil.

As corn emerges, pest pressure can create a challenge for corn, even in acreage that used an insecticide seed treatment. Cutworms and grubs are two pests posing some problems for growers in the Midwest.

Between 2012 and 2016, 18 percent of corn had …

The BigYieldCoat Soy and BigYieldCoat Corn +Zn seed treatments, naturally chelated dry planter box treatments, supply nine nutrients vital to soybean and corn emergence, growth and development. With naturally chelated nutrients, growers may maximize efficiency of nutrient applications. To produce chelated nutrients, a particular nutrient bonds with organic molecules, such as lignands. The ligands essentially act as a “claw” to …
