No-Till AwardsWow. Fungicide of the year. Now there’s an award you don’t hear about everyday. BASF wins this one with Headline.

Growers who follow conservation tillage practices have selected Headline® fungicide as fungicide of the year for effectively controlling disease in both no-tilled corn and soybeans, and for contributing to their reduced-tillage success last year. The 2006 No-Till Products of the Year were recently announced during the 15th Annual National No-Tillage Conference and published as the reader’s choice in Conservation Tillage Product Guide. In total, 114 products were nominated in seven different categories, including fungicides.

“BASF is honored that growers chose Headline as the fungicide of the year, and saw it as having the greatest impact on their success in 2006,” said Jerry Minore, market manager at BASF. “We are pleased to know that more growers are recognizing the value a planned application of Headline can make.”
