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.
