Power Yield Fungicide

Jump-start your potato production

Improved profitability

In the 2005 University of Wisconsin-Madison study of 57 disease-control programs, two Power Yield programs (those including Headline and Endura) were the top two programs overall delivering some of the highest levels of crop quality (US No. 1 yield) and ROI.

In 2004 and 2005, extensive on-farm demonstrations in multiple states showed that 78% of growers could improve their profitability with the Power Yield program. Averaged across all 79 farms in the study, that would have translated into a $111/A increase in profits, after fungicide costs.

Increase in higher-quality potatoes

The Power Yield program boosts your profit outlook by helping you to grow a greater proportion of larger tubers, improving both your marketable yield and crop quality, when compared to growers' standard fungicide programs that did not use Headline and Endura.

Suggested programs

The Power Yield program is built around two powerful fungicides, Endura fungicide and Headline fungicide.

Endura consistently outperforms other fungicides in early blight control. In a 2005 University of Wisconsin-Madison study of 57 disease-control programs for the control of early blight, 11 of the top 16 programs included Endura.

Headline offers excellent control of early blight, black dot, and late blight. Plus, it delivers Plant Health™ benefits, improving your crop's tolerance to stress and its energy efficiency. The strobilurin chemistry of Headline is the perfect match for the boscalid active ingredient in Endura, giving your Power Yield program built-in resistance management.

The following Power Yield programs should be added to an existing disease management program comprised of fungicides with different modes of action. The second Power Yield program is designed for medium to high white-mold pressure.





¹ Additional fungicides with different modes of action must be incorporated into each Power Yield program sequence. See your BASF retailer about supplementing your Power Yield program with products that are right for your crop conditions.
