To determine if applying sugar in-furrow increases plant health, yield and profitability.

2016 Indiana Corn Starter Additive Study - Sugar

In 2015, we tested adding 4 lb./A. of sugar in-furrow at our Ohio PFR location and we were blown away by the results. We decided to test this study across multiple sites in 2016.

In Indiana, there were no visual differences observed during the growing season. However, when sugar was added to just plain water, we saw a positive impact on yield.

We will continue to evaluate this practice in the future in an effort to strengthen our multi-year data set.
