Harness the benefits1 of AgCelence® to protect against rhizoctonia seed rot in corn, and gain more consistent and increased seedling emergence even under cold conditions.2 This Group 15 chemistry delivers residual control of key annual grasses and select broadleaf weeds, including resistant biotypes, in field corn and herbicide-tolerant soybean. It’s a new era for white mold management. Preserve soybean yield and quality with two effective active ingredients against sclerotinia, combined in a convenient liquid pre-mix. RESEARCH A new active ingredient for effective control of piercing-sucking insects in a wide range UPDATE of crops, with no known cross-resistance to other insecticides. REWARDS AT EVERY STAGE OF THE SEASON. Our AgSolutions Rewards Program has been designed to benefit you at every stage of crop production. From pre-plant to post-harvest, the BASF portfolio offers innovative solutions to maximize both your yield and rewards. REWARDS 1 AgCelence benefits refer to products that contain the active ingredient pyraclostrobin. 2 All comparisons are to untreated, unless otherwise stated. 2

Why settle on one bioactive, Built-in disease suppression. The physical barrier formed by B. amyloliquefaciens prevents harmful when you could have two? organisms from reaching the crop’s roots. A phenomenon known as “pathogen displacement”, it’s responsible for the suppression of seedling Most inoculants offer Bradyrhizobium japonicum, a rhizobium diseases caused by Fusarium spp. and Rhizoctonia spp.1 essential to soybean inoculation. What sets our Biostacked® inoculants apart is the use of a second bioactive – Bacillus amyloliquefaciens. Pepper plants inoculated with Fusarium solani. Better plant growth is rooted in B. amyloliquefaciens. This natural, non-toxic bacteria colonizes the crop’s roots Untreated (left) to form a ‘protective sheath’ around the root system.
