Fungicide/Insecticide

Every hybrid and variety, with one foliar fungicide/insecticide application on July 15.

Non-Treated

The same hybrids and varieties, same seed, same soil, same planting day, with no foliar application.

Two Fields, 68 Products, One Fair Comparison.

The soybean field (N160, 160.5 acres) and the corn field (S169, 167.7 acres) hold every product plot, the field-scale trials and side-by-side tillage blocks.
