Set Your Corn Up for Sucess This Spring with Ascend² from Premier Cooperative
As planting season approaches and soils remain cool and wet, Premier Cooperative is encouraging growers to take advantage of a key opportunity: adding Ascend² plant growth regulator (PGR) to in-furrow started and zinc loads

Ascend² is the only auxin-dominant, three-way PGR on the market, specifically designed for in-furrow applications in corn. its unique, patented blend of auxin, gibberellic acid, and cytokinin supports strong early-season plant development by promoting rapid emergence, robust root growth, and improved stress tolerance. 

Backed by Strong Data 
Research from 67 Answer Plot sites over four years shows Ascend² delivering an average positive yield response of +7.5 bushels per acre. With a 61% response rate, the data confirms that Ascend² helps maximize the potential of today's top corn genetics. 

Key Benefits of Ascend²:
  • More even emergence and improved plant stands 
  • Stronger root development for better nutrient uptake
  • Greater early-season stress tolerance 
Application Made Easy
  • Use Rate: 4.7-6.3 oz/A in-furrow with corn starter
  • Packaging: Available in 2x2.5 gallons jugs and 125-gallon totes 
Adding Ascend² to starter fertilizer is simple and cost-effctive -- and can mean a significant difference at harvest. 

Get Ahead this Season
