Effects of Ascend®
Treatment
Plants treated with Ascend® plant growth
regulator can visibly outperform untreated
plants at multiple growth stages.
Germination
plants. This product can be applied
with starter mixes at planting, preemergence, or side-dressed with UAN
at a minimum of one quart per acre.
Application with your planter starter
system or pre-emerge with herbicide
is recommended. As a chelated
product, you can be assured that you
are using a stable product. Chelation
prevents the product from getting
tied up, which ultimately makes this
product more available when and
where it should be. Chelation also
increases tank mix compatibility with
other starter fertilizers, ATS, and UAN.
At one quart per acre, Citri-Che Zinc
10% supplies a little over four ounces
of zinc per acre, replacing what the
prior year’s crop removed.
Citri-Che Zinc 10% is available at all
our agronomy locations this spring,
including our 24/7 locations. If it is
not already part of your nutrient plan
for this spring, talk to your agronomy
account manager to make sure it is
included in your nutrient strategy.
Ascend SL, a plant growth
regulator (PGR), is another beneficial
addition to your spring nutrient plan.
This is not a new product to your
cooperative; in fact, some of you have
probably already used it for many
years now with your starter mix. There
are many PGRs out there to use in the
market, but we believe Ascend SL is
the best. Data proves that corn yield
alone can improve by over five
bushels!
Ascend SL contains three
different PGRs that aid in providing
vigorous early germination and
emergence, larger roots, larger
leaves, and wider stems.
• Cytokinin promotes cell
division and leaf expansion
• Gibberellic acid stimulates
cell division and elongation of
leaves and stems
• Indolebutyric acid stimulates
root formation and
development and increases
cell elongation
As mentioned earlier, Ascend
SL has been used with starters
for a few years now, but what if
you don’t have a starter system
on your planter? Ascend SL can
be applied foliar during your post
emerge herbicide application to
corn and soybeans to give your
crop a big boost.
There are several yieldenhancing products that your
agronomy account manager can
help you incorporate into your
tried and true practices to help
maximize profit on your farm
while taking full advantage of
these seven-year highs that have
recently been seen in the grain
markets.
