Growers don’t have time to waste
when it comes to making decisions that will impact their 2008
corn crops.
That’s where Poncho® 250 and Poncho 1250 seed-applied
insecticides come in. As growers make their hybrid selections
this fall for next season, many will give consideration to the
benefits offered by the leading seed-applied insecticide.
With superior chemistry providing systemic and contact activity,
Poncho 250 and Poncho 1250 can maximize potential vigor, stands
and yield.
Poncho 250 provides early-season protection against black
cutworms, wireworms, white grubs, seed corn maggots, grape
colaspis, flea beetles, chinch bugs and other corn seed and
seedling insect pests.
And for broader spectrum protection, Poncho 1250 also protects
against corn rootworms and billbugs.
“Poncho continues to show results for growers - it’s a product
they know and trust,” says Kerry Grossweiler,
Bayer CropScience
product manager. “Both Poncho 250 and Poncho 1250 help maximize
yield potential by delivering superior seed protection; and
Poncho 250 protects against early-season pests that a Bt hybrid
can’t stand up to on its own.”
Growers also see a return on their seed-treatment investments
with Poncho, and it makes for a smart choice for those who are
managing refuge acres from season to season.
“Poncho helps increase plant vigor in corn,” he explains. “It
works to make the plant and the root system healthier.”
Additionally, Poncho 250 and Poncho 1250 have proven to be an
integral part of a winning season for the past three years of
the National Corn Growers Association (NCGA) Corn Yield Contest.
In 2004, four of the nine winners protected their contest
winning entries with Poncho. In 2005, seven of the nine national
winners were protected with Poncho. And in 2006, all nine of the
national NCGA winners were protected with either Poncho 250 or
Poncho 1250. In addition, more than half of the 209 state yield
winners overall were produced with Poncho as a key ingredient in
the winning formula.
