BASF may be excited about the the new herbicide on the block Kixor moving in, but they are continuing to see growers get more profitability from their crop with Headline fungicide.

While the field day in Belleville, IL on Tuesday was focused on Kixor herbicide technology, Headline had a role to play in the show as well. Western Illinois BASF business rep Skip Shively talked to growers about how Headline can help even late in the season with late-planted crops. “There’s been a tremendous amount of stress on crops this year and the later planting has given us an opportunity to enhance yields with Headline, particularly with disease control in the first part of August,” Skip said.

“The best application timing for corn would be full tassel to the brown silk stage,” he added. “On soybeans, we’re looking at an R-2 to R-3 time frame.”
