Results

  • 63% of locations over the 4 years showed a yield advantage averaging 2 bu/acre when using FST/IST seed treatment vs. an FST only treatment.

 

2012 data are based on average of all comparisons made in 228 locations through December 20, 2012. Multi-year and multi-location is a better predictor of future performance. Do not use these or any other data from a limited number of trials as a significant factor in product selection. Product responses are variable and subject to a variety of environmental, disease, and pest pressures. Individual results may vary.
