Ascend²™ PGR Offers Proven Yield Advantage for Corn Growers
With spring planting underway and cool, wet soils lingering, growers are looking for every advantage they can get to protect yield potential early. That's why Premier Cooperative is recommending Ascend² Plant Growth Regulator (PGR) as part of your in-furrow program this season.

Ascend² is the only auxin-dominant, three-way PGR formulated specifically for in-furrow use in corn. Its uniqu combination of auxin, gibberellic acid, and cytokinin helps accelerate germination, improve early, root development, and enhance emergence--even under tough early-season conditions.

Research from 67 trial sites over four years shows Ascend² delivers consistent results:

+7.5 bu/A average gain where there was a postive response
61.2% win rate versus starter fertilizer alone

Adding Ascend² to your in-furrow starter and zinc blends is a simple step that can help maximize stand uniformity, root structure, and yield potential.

Contact your local Premier agronomist today to learn how Ascend² can fit into your 2025 cropping plan.

As we move into the growing season, ensuring your crops have the nutrients they need to thrive is critical. Whether you and your agronomist planned for split-applied nitrogen or not, one of the most effective strategies to boost corn performance is with an in-crop application of nitrogen. This practice delivers nitrogen directly to plants when they need it most, supporting vigorous growth and optimizing yield potential. For farmers looking to enhance productivity while maintaining efficiency, top-dressing urea is a proven practice for success.

Although I’m a huge fan of winter, I also enjoy the way the earth comes alive at this time of year. The grass is greening up nicely, the trees are budding and farmers are beginning to till up the soil and plant this year’s crops. My biggest problem this time of year is figuring out what to wear. One day I’m in a t-shirt and the next I’ve got to put on a sweater. Do I wear spring colors or dark colors to hide the weight I gained over the winter? The struggle is real.
