Have you experienced the difference?
Beck's Escalate™ yield enhancement system is very different. It is a proprietary mix of yield enhancing products that come standard on all Beck's seed to offer insect protection, improve stands,
seedling health, and yield. This unique blend is sealed onto each seed using Beck's exclusive polymer. Other companies have unsuccessfully tried to copy and imitate, but Beck's Escalate coated seed products simply stand out from the rest! Experience the Difference, Plant Beck's.
Beck's History of Seed Enhancement Innovation:
Escalate is the latest in Beck's long history of industry leading premium seed coatings. Beck's has
evaluated seed treatment products for several years, however, in 1996, Becks was the first to introduce
a complete seed coating system to the soybean market called Sure Gro™. In 2001, Beck's was the first
company to provide a seed applied insecticide system called FaSTart™ as standard in every bag of corn.
In 2004, Beck's was the first to make the revolutionary Sure Gro protection system standard in every bag
of soybeans. Once again, Beck's Hybrids will lead the industry in combining the unique yield enhancing
properties of Escalate and making it standard on every unit of Beck corn, soybeans, wheat and alfalfa.
Once again, Beck's will lead the industry in combining the unique yield enhancing properties of Escalate
and making it standard on every unit of Beck corn, soybeans, wheat and alfalfa.
Escalate yield enhancement system gives Beck's growers the following improvements over untreated
seed:
1) Better Emergence and Seedling Health -
Escalate provides systemic and effective control of many common seedling diseases in
corn,
soybean, wheat, and alfalfa
2) Seedling Insect Control -
Escalate provides effective early season control of common insects in corn, soybeans,
and wheat resulting in improved stands, protected seedlings, and reduced exposure
to insect vectored diseases and viruses.
3) Flexibility/Peace of Mind -
With Escalate, growers can plant crops earlier to maximize yield potential and still
have protection from many common early season insects and diseases.
4) Convenience -
Escalate is a complete fungicide/insecticide package, so you save time, money, and
avoid seed degradation and quality issues associated with adding treatments just
prior to planting.In addition, Escalate often eliminates the need for some early season foliar insecticides.
5) Enhanced Yield-
Over 12 bushels per acre in corn, more than 4 bushels per acre in soybeans, and
4 to 7 bushels per acre yield advantage in wheat compared to untreated seed.
