Corn Belt Farmers Choose Bio-Forge Anticipating Late-Plant and High Moisture Stress Issues
Corn farmers facing late-planting issues and wet growing conditions are turning to Bio-Forge in efforts to save their crops and maximize yields.
Houston, TX (PRWEB) May 26, 2009 -- Just last week, the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) stated that only 62 percent of the corn crop had been planted across the corn belt and historically, 85 percent of the corn crop is planted. Even though planting conditions were good over the Memorial Day weekend, late-plant issues are still of concern to growers.
Farmers are working against the clock and Mother Nature to plant corn crops.
As weather challenges continue, farmers are looking for ways to protect their yields and profits. An increasing number are turning to StollerUSA's Bio-Forge®.
Bio-Forge is the flagship product in Stoller's extensive yield-enhancing line up of micronutrients and specialized foliar products. It's an antioxidant that purges plant cells of stress ethylene. The groundbreaking technology has been validated by university studies to significantly increase yields of food, feed, and bio-fuel producing crops.
Unlike other products that suppress all ethylene production--Bio-Forge is proven to manage only the stress ethylene and other plant hormones at an optimal level through a variety of stress conditions. It has been successfully used by growers to counter the impact of stress like the wet conditions that growers in the Midwest are struggling with.
Late-planted corn performs poorly having a shorter growing time to reach full maturity. This problem of delayed maturity can affect a grower's bottom line. Many farmers think Stoller USA's Bio-Forge might be just the solution to their current challenges.
Bio-Forge allows corn plagued by late-plant issues and high moisture conditions to bolster stress tolerance and manage primary sugars to fill out the ear and ear kernels for higher yield.
"The ability of Stoller technology to balance hormonal activity is key. It considers the factors that impact a plant's growth cycle and works to enhance the genetic expression while nullifying the impact of stress issues," explains CEO and world-renowned agronomist Jerry Stoller, "Products like Bio-Forge focus on how to maximize the performance of plants--even with late-plant issues like those farmers are facing this spring."
Stoller has invested heavily in university research and conducted field trials with growers across the nation. "This year margins are too tight for farmer's to experiment with untested products," points out Dave Redmond, StollerUSA's national sales manager. "With Bio-Forge, farmers can be confident they are using a university tested product, proven to enhance yields even in some of the most challenging growing conditions."
Applied as a seed treatment, in furrow or as foliar treatment, Bio-Forge incorporates easily into a farmer's current program and can be applied using ground equipment. For university research results on Bio-Forge visit www.bio-forge.com.
StollerUSA is dedicated to helping producers enhance yields by maximizing genetic expression. The result is in enhanced marketable yield; improved return on investment resistance to insects, nematodes and disease. Stoller products are proven to ensure optimum plant growth by maintaining appropriate hormone balance in combination with supporting nutrients, resulting in healthier, more productive crops that are better able to withstand stress and achieve their full genetic potential.
In agribusiness for more than 40 years, StollerUSA markets a full line of products to help farmers increase crop yield and quality. StollerUSA, headquartered in Houston, is actively researching and developing micronutrients and other products in more than 50 countries. For more information on StollerUSA, visit www.StollerUSA.com.
