Top Return Corn Management Products
IMPROVEMENT OF BASE FERTILITY PRODUCTS PERFORMANCE
AVAIL®
A water soluble additive for dry Phosphorus fertilizer that enables phosphate to remain
free in the soil, providing opportunity for better plant uptake.
WOLF TRAX MICRONUTRIENTS
Adds higher quality with more consistent blends of micronutrients that provide better
placement, better availability, and quicker more responsive uptake.
SULFUR
Almost a must with the environmental changes of the sulfur levels that are available for crop
production.
NITROGEN MANAGEMENT PRODUCTS
N-SERVE
Delays nitrification of ammoniacal and urea nitrogen fertilizer compositions in the soil by
controlling the nitrification process.
AGROTAIN
Nitrogen stabilizer that can be blended with UREA and UAN fertilizers, giving nitrogen time to
move into the soil instead of the atmosphere.
PLANTING TIME OPTIONS
Select a weed resistance management pre plant residual herbicide program and get applied
prior to planting.
IN FURROW LIQUID STARTER OPTIONS
Use a high quality base liquid starter with the correct additives for your geography.
ASCEND added to your current liquid starter program for a plant growth regulator that
accelerates leaf, stem and root development and health.
QUICKROOTS planter box treatment to replace talc and add microorganisms that increase
availability of certain soil nutrients.
POST TREATMENTS
SELECTION OF A WEED RESISTANCE MANAGEMENT HERBICIDE PROGRAM
FOLIAR NITROGEN TREATMENTS AND FOLIAR MICRO NUTRIENTS
These products provide balanced foliar nutrition that is readily absorbed by the plant that
provides a quick crop response.
FUNGICIDE TREATMENTS
Early-season application of fungicide allows for broad-spectrum preventive disease control
and enhanced plant performance while corn leaf and ear shoots are being determined.

The Foundation:
The foundation of achieving higher yields is understanding the
underlying fertility in your fields. SmartYield™ starts here,
utilizing comprehensive GPS Soil Sampling data and your yield
info. Together we’ll build VR fertilizer recs that are tailored to
each field. We don’t use a secretive, formula to achieve this;
instead we’ll sit beside you to come up with the solution because
we know that you know more about your fields than any computer
program.
From soil sampling to detailed
analysis of your operation,
SmartYield™ is your solution
SmartYield™ is a tiered Precision
Agronomy program designed to
meet your specific needs.
Our analytical focus is to maximize
return on your inputs by applying them
in the right place. That’s our focus, but
our job is maximizing your yield.
Data Analytics:
We’ll build on this foundation to create VR planting recs
and analyze each field’s performance. Together we’ll build
Management Zones across your operation-field by field. This
enables us to push fertility and plant population in the best areas
(A Zones) of your field and scale back inputs in the highly variable
yielding areas (C Zones) to maximize your yield potential. Data
Analytics allows us to check our work at harvest, benchmark
yield and management practices, and get better for next year.
Your A to Z Solution:
Even the best laid plans can fall apart if your equipment isn’t
performing at its best. SmartYield™’s Machine Optimization
option provides pre-planting and pre-harvest equipment calibration
and service to ensure your machines are running optimally.
Transform your data into ACTIONABLE field information!
Intelligent Resource Allocation:
Every acre in your field is different. From soil type to fertility to drainage your fields are variable, so why
have we been treating them all the same? Management Zones give us the tools to re-distribute inputs to
where they will have the greatest return.
PUSH the A Zones MAINTAIN the B Zones
MANAGE the C Zones

A multiaction biofertility inoculant that combines the proven performance of LCO Promoter
Technology and the phosphate solubilizing benefits of Penicillium bilai.
QUICKROOTS
Planter box treatment with microorganisms that increase availability of certain soil nutrients.
Can release plant available phosphorous from sources in the soil which has been shown to
increase root mass. Increased plant nutrient availability will lead to increased plant health
and vigor which translates into a yield response.

SELECTION OF ANOTHER RESIDUAL WEED RESISTANCE MANAGEMENT HERBICIDE PROGRAM
FOLIAR MICRO NUTRIENTS
These products provide balanced foliar nutrition that is readily absorbed by the plant that
provides a quick crop response.
LATE POST TREATMENTS
FUNGICIDE / INSECTICIDE TREATMENTS
R3 application of fungicide allows for broad-spectrum preventive disease control and
enhanced plant performance while final yield potentials are being determined.

PRESERVING HERBICIDE TECHNOLOGY: Respect the Rotation™ is an initiative to elevate importance and improve grower adoption of herbicide diversity through the rotation
of crops, traits and herbicide classes. Rotate crops. Crop rotation provides opportunity for herbicide diversity. Rotate herbicide-tolerant traits. Alternate herbicide-tolerant traits or use of
herbicide tolerant stacks for more efficient rotation of both nonselective and selective herbicides. Rotate modes of action. Rotate modes of action (MOA) and use multiple MOA to reduce
the selection pressure caused by overusing a single MOA. Respect the Rotation is a trademark of Bayer.
