Shift corn yield into high gear with this powerful lineup

Supercharging yield with late-season crop health

With extensive trial results compiled over 6 years, Miravis^® Neo has proven that no matter the type of growing season you face, Miravis^® Neo provides consistent yield and quality benefits.

The addition of a biostimulant such as YieldON™ to a planned R1 fungicide application has the potential to increase yield by improving nutrient flow and sugars throughout the plant.

15.1 bu/ac yield advantage on average with Miravis^® Neo vs. untreated across Ontario corn fields over 6 years.

There are four active ingredients in Acuron^® to provide built-in resistance management and season-long weed control of the broadest range of weeds.

Reduce the impact of weeds

Weeds are opportunistic and fierce resource competitors. They rely on the same vital resources as corn—space, light, water, nutrients—and inhibit your crop’s ability to achieve its best yield potential. Managing early weed pressure sets the stage for increased bushels per acre by promoting early-season plant vigour.

Foundation Acre portfolio of herbicides products are aimed at reducing the impact of weeds, weed populations and providing flexible, full season weed control.

The key to the vehicle: Know your corn numbers

Did you know? IF you retained 1,000 more ears/acre, that could deliver 6 more bu/ac! By minimizing stress at key growth stages, you could maximize the genetic potential of your corn crop.

1 row around* = 12 bu/ac
1 kernel in length* = 6 bu/ac

^{*At 31,000 ears/acre}

By focusing on optimal fertility programs, season-long weed control, and attentive crop management like using Megafol™, a biostimulant, to support the crop as it moves through periods of stress, you can help your corn plants reach their maximum potential.
