Research shows that a BASF sequential fungicide program controls
disease, maximizes photosynthesis, and minimizes stress during critical
corn growth stages for optimum yield.

Headline AMP
Summary of all on-farm trials, Headline was applied at 6 fl oz/A and Headline AMP was
applied at 10 fl oz/A after VT.

Ground & Aerial Application
An adjuvant may be used with
Priaxor and Headline AMP ®
fungicides prior to the V8
stage and after corn reaches
the VT stage.
A compatibility agent, another
fungicide, or an insecticide
may be included in the tank
mix, if needed, and labeled for
use on corn.
