The biological crop input category has exploded in recent years. While the segment holds exciting promise, it can be difficult to navigate the crowded market and know which products out of the thousands will work.
The WinField United BioVerified designation was created to help you sort through the options and jump straight to a short list of products selected based on reliable product research and data. We test, we learn, and we figure out what works so farmers don’t have to spend their limited seasons sorting it out on their own.
The List
Products With The WinField United BioVerified Designation
Dash and Voyagro alone didn't give a yield bump, but together we got a nice response.
Ascend ST3®
We used Ascend ST3 on our soybeans this spring along with Warden CX II, Saltro, Preside Ultra, and Seed + Graphite as part of our high yielding soybean seed treatment system. We were very pleased with how it treated on the seed and the ease of application with our seed treater. It dried nicely even though this mix is on the high end of oz/unit to put on the beans. The treater drum also stayed cleaner than normal as a result this year. In the field we saw better early season root growth and larger above ground growth, as well as more consistency in size between neighboring plants. Looking forward to seeing some yield results this fall in our yield trials. I'm excited to utilize it more in the future.
Strong results with biologicals are worth sharing.
The Vetting Process
1.Biologicals are selected for review from the WinField United product list based on their potential within their sub-categories.
2.Products are evaluated and rated based on four key criteria.
Uniqueness compared to other products on the market
Agronomics including identifiable mode of action, performance and placement.
Operational compatibility with standard application methods, product and inventory.
Economic return for growers and retailers.
3.The highest rated products are given the WinField United BioVerified designation.
Testing and Evaluation Methods
Each product is thoroughly evaluated and may be tested in one or more of the following ways:
- Field trials at Answer Plot® locations.
- 3D imaging in a controlled environment at the WinField United Innovation Center.
- Data analysis from third-party
vendors or product suppliers.
