Bio-Forge^® Makes Money
Farmers know that products which reduce ethylene and cause more sugar movement to
corn ears and soybean pods can increase yields. Bio-Forge has chemistry (unlike fungicides) that is designed specifically to do so --- with great “consistency.”

Bio-Forge can also increase cotton yields along with corn and soybean yields. Bio-Forge has undergone extensive university testing. Some of the universities StollerUSA has worked with to document Bio-Forge yield improvement performance are Texas A&M, University of Illinois, Auburn University, Iowa State, North Carolina State University, University of Arkansas, and University of Missouri (to name a few).

Bio-Forge is an antioxidant with growth-enhancing co-factors that works with the plant’s natural ability to overcome toxins and increase resistance to insects and diseases. It is a groundbreaking technology that has been proven through university studies to significantly increase the yields of food, feed and biofuel producing crops by helping plants overcome stresses and return to normal activity. Bio-Forge makes crops and plants stronger and better able to live through a number of stressful conditions including weather extremes, poor soil, high plant populations, disease, insect damage and herbicide drift.

Late planted corn normally produces less profit for farmers than early planted corn due to various climatic conditions affecting how the corn grows and its vulnerability to these climatic effects.
1. When any hybrid is planted in warm soil, it tends to grow like the shorter season variety grows. The leaves emerge more quickly than the same variety planted in cold soil. There is less storage of sugars in the corn stalk. It is generally a smaller ear that emerges and develops. This will always limit yield as seen with early maturing varieties that normally have lower yields than later maturing varieties.
2. The late planted corn has more of an opportunity to grow through the season where stress can affect the yields more significantly than earlier planted corn.
3. The later planted corn will normally pollinate during the hotter days of the summer. This decreases the viability of the pollen and will limit the number of grains per ear that survive after pollination.
4. The plants will have greater exposure to the damage from early frost. The early frost will reduce the number of days for grain filling and affect grain dry down.
5. The later planted corn will be exposed to fewer days of growing weather and it will generally be harvested at a higher moisture. Due to the price of natural gas, the dry down effect and costs will be substantially greater than it would be for earlier planted corn.

A single application of Bio-Forge to the plant foliage (anytime during the growing season) will help protect the late planted corn against all of the factors listed here.
The application of Bio-Forge to late planted corn should be completed by the time the corn achieves the 7-leaf stage of growth.
