EARLY SEASON APPLICATION TO CORNGet a head start on your yield bump by adding an early treatment of Stratego YLD to your corn. Adding an early treatment of Stratego YLD between the V4 to V7 growth stages delivers:

Improved yields over tassel sprays alone

Improved stalk strength

Application flexibility – ground rig or aerial applications

Application simplicity – may be applied in combination with many herbicides, such as Laudis®, Liberty® or glyphosate herbicides

STRATEGO YLD IN BRIEF Advanced Technology – Stratego YLD fungicide is the official fungicide of the yield bump, keeping plants healthier with a broad spectrum of protection and proven disease control by combining a top-performing strobilurin with the latest triazole technology on the market. It supplies corn and soybean plants with a higher degree of fungicidal protection, particularly against anthracnose, rusts and other diseases.

Field Protection – The broad-spectrum, effective disease control of Stratego YLD offers greater yield potential and increases plants’ stress tolerance and harvestability.

Excellent Compatibility – Stratego YLD is compatible with most crop protection products and adjuvants. The formulation offers easy handling, storage and mixing.

Low Rates – Stratego YLD protects corn and soybean plants from disease with rates as low as 4 fl oz/A.

Long-Lasting – Stratego YLD can provide up to 21 days of residual activity due to its retention and redistribution properties.

TREATED EARLY SEASON WITH STRATEGO YLD

UNTREATED

Stratego YLD leaves plants greener longer for improved photosynthetic activity and an extended grain fill period.

STROBILURIN-RESISTANT FROGEYE LEAF SPOT CONTROL

PROVEN DISEASE CONTROLWith its powerful triazole component, Stratego YLD is effective on a broad range of diseases in corn and soybeans, including a higher degree of activity on anthracnose and rusts. In side-by-side corn trials, Stratego YLD effectively reduced the severity of both gray leaf spot and common rust. Stratego YLD even stops strobilurin-resistant frogeye leaf spot (Cercospora sojina).

TREATED EARLY SEASON WITH 4 OZ/A OF STRATEGO YLD

UNTREATED

Bayer and multiple third parties have conducted field trials that have shown reduced lodging on corn treated with Stratego YLD early season.

As evidenced by multiple field trials in 2011, including this one from Colorado, use of Stratego YLD has shown to reduce green snap and lodging, resulting in improved harvestability and yields.

EARLY SEASON APPLICATION YIELD BUMPEarly season applications of Stratego YLD – typically made anywhere between the V4 to V7 growth stages – can protect corn from damaging diseases. This application timing gives your corn a proven foundation for maximized yields, especially when coupled with a second spray between the VT and R2 growth stages. Adding an early application of Stratego YLD promotes a healthier plant with stronger stalks. This reduces the risk of lodging and green snap for improved harvestability, and plants stay greener longer for an expanded period of grain fill.

CONVENIENT FORMULATIONStratego YLD features a formulation that allows for easy handling, storage and mixing with no tendency to crystallize. The water-based SC formulation is compatible with most crop protection products, including herbicides, insecticides and adjuvants. For example, a tankmix of Stratego YLD and Leverage® 360 insecticide can deliver soybean farmers the convenience and efficiency of controlling key insects and key diseases with a single application.
