The purpose of this study is to evaluate various starter additive products, applied in-furrow, and their effects on yield and profitability.

2017 Ohio Corn Starter Additive Study - In-Furrow

A slower and a faster emerging hybrid were both tested in this study in 2017. While we wanted to test additives to determine their overall yield advantage, we also wanted to determine how the speed of emergence could impact yield. We observed that the faster emerging hybrid came out of the ground quicker, had better stand establishment, and was able to benefit more from the addition of an additive.
