Marketable Yield Increases
Research trials showed that Velum Rise increased marketable yield compared to untreated checks. The addition of Emesto® Silver fungicide seed-piece treatment further improved marketable yields.
Trials were conducted by Bayer Crop Science Field Solutions team and Atlantic AgriTech conducted over 2 years and 4 sites (2020, 2021). All treatments were inoculated with Rhizoctonia. Your results may vary according to agronomic, environmental, pest and disease pressure variables.
