At a recent grower seminar in Chicago, BASF Crop Protection announced the results of a comprehensive 2010 crop protection study that shows how using a portfolio of BASF products can help increase corn and soybean yields.

Small-scale replicated field studies in soybeans and corn conducted at university and BASF research sites throughout the Midwest found “an average 9.1 bu/acre increase in soybeans and 33.3 bu/acre increase in corn when compared to a low-input glyphosate program,” according to the company. The objective of the research was to evaluate yield responses to BASF crop protection inputs – including Headline® fungicide, Headline AMP™ fungicide, Kixor® herbicide technology and Respect® insecticide.
