Jump Start Plus is a clear liquid corn starter containing both orthophosphate and polyphosphate. You get the best of both! Orthophosphate is readily available to the plant and the polyphosphate will convert to orthophosphate over a 2-10 week period and be available to the plant.
mium A Pre od nt Fo a l P Liquid
• Provides nitrogen, phosphate, potassium, sulfur, zinc and manganese to energize young plants for vigorous early growth in cooler spring soils. • Flexible starter fertilizer that may be applied in-furrow or banded at planting. • Chloride free to provide maximum seed safety and minimize germination loss. • High quality liquid fertilizer that is clean and easy to handle. There are no solids present to plug equipment. • Is 100% water soluble, pure liquid formulation that assures a uniform homogeneous analysis and mix. • Allows for early planting which means early dry-down. Midwest side-by-side trials give the edge to corn with starter by 1 to 2 points at harvest. • Gives young plants better stress resistance to modern herbicides. Young plants are not wasting energy searching for plant nutrients when starters are applied and readily available to the plant. • Contains CropPlex® Technology. The complexing action of CropPlex Technology increases the plant uptake of macro and micro nutrients.

Weed Effects On Yield In soybeans, you have from 9 to 19 days after soybean emergence before losing yield. Expect about a 2% yield loss for every leaf-stage delay past the critical stage of weed control. After that time frame, expect to loose around $3.50 per day in yield potential. Weeds are becoming more resistant to glyphosate, primarily Waterhemp. Early control is the best management tool we have.
Does a Pre Pay? Field Average – 50 bu Soybean Price – $9.30 Weed Height – 6 in Loss Potential – $27.90 Weed Height – 12 in
Loss Potential – $46.50

CORN DEVELOPMENT
Herbicide labels recommend applica0ons based on the stage of corn development, plant height or leaf stage. Corn plant height is the height of the highest arch of the highest leaf. This is less accurate compared to other staging methods. Leaf Collar Method: This staging method is the most common. Count all leaves including the fist leaf with a rounded 8p which have formed a collar. Example pictured. Droopy Leaf Method: Most commonly used by crop insurance adjusters. The last leaf counted is the uppermost leaf that is 40 to 50 percent exposed fro the whorl. Its leaf 8p is usually beginning to droop. Corn plant development can be divided into vegeta0ve (V) and reproduc0ve (R) stages. It is important to op0mize produc0on prac0ces during the vegeta0ve stages as this is where poten0al yield is established. Vegeta0ve Stages • VE Spike or emergence • V1 One leaf with collar visible • V2 Two leaves with collars visible • V(n) (n) leaves with visible collars • VT Last branch of tassel is completely visible Reproduc0ve Stages • R1 Silking Silks are visible outside the husks • Pollina0ng Most cri8cal period of yield poten8al • R2 Blister Kernels are whist and resemble a blister shape • R3 Milk Kernels are yellow on the outside with a milky inner fluid • R4 Dough Milky inner fluid thickens to a pasty consistency • R5 Dent Nearly all kernels are den8ng • R6 Physiological Maturity The black abscission layer has formed. Milk line is no longer evident.

SO YBEAN DEVELOPMENT
Soybean plant development is divided into vegeta2ve (V) and reproduc2ve (R) stages. The V stages following the VC are numbered according to the uppermost fully developed leaf node. Start with the unifoliate leaf node when coun2ng the number of fully developed leaf nodes. A leaf node is fully developed when the leaf above it has leaflets which are fully unrolled. The leaflet edges are no longer touching.
Vegeta2ve Stage VE Emergence VC Cotyledon V1 Unifoliate and first trifoliate leaves fully developed V(n) Unifoliate and (n) trifoliate leaves are fully developed. Reproduc2ve Stage R1 Open flower are any node R2 Open flower at one of the two uppermost nodes with a fully developed leaf R3 Pod is 3/16 inch long at one of the four upper-‐most nodes with fully developed leaf R4 Pod is 3/4 inch long at one of the four upper-‐most nodes with fully developed leaf R5 Seeds is 1/8 inch long at one of the four upper-‐most nodes with fully developed leaf R6 Pod contains green seed that fully fills pod at one of the four upper-‐most nodes with fully developed leaf R7 One normal pod has reached its mature pod color R8 95% of the pods have reached their mature pod color

Jump Start Plus is a clear liquid corn starter containing both orthophosphate and polyphosphate. You get the best of both! Orthophosphate is readily available to the plant and the polyphosphate will convert to orthophosphate over a 2-10 week period and be available to the plant.
mium A Pre od nt Fo a l P Liquid
• Provides nitrogen, phosphate, potassium, sulfur, zinc and manganese to energize young plants for vigorous early growth in cooler spring soils. • Flexible starter fertilizer that may be applied in-furrow or banded at planting. • Chloride free to provide maximum seed safety and minimize germination loss. • High quality liquid fertilizer that is clean and easy to handle. There are no solids present to plug equipment. • Is 100% water soluble, pure liquid formulation that assures a uniform homogeneous analysis and mix. • Allows for early planting which means early dry-down. Midwest side-by-side trials give the edge to corn with starter by 1 to 2 points at harvest. • Gives young plants better stress resistance to modern herbicides. Young plants are not wasting energy searching for plant nutrients when starters are applied and readily available to the plant. • Contains CropPlex® Technology. The complexing action of CropPlex Technology increases the plant uptake of macro and micro nutrients.

Weed Effects On Yield In soybeans, you have from 9 to 19 days after soybean emergence before losing yield. Expect about a 2% yield loss for every leaf-stage delay past the critical stage of weed control. After that time frame, expect to loose around $3.50 per day in yield potential. Weeds are becoming more resistant to glyphosate, primarily Waterhemp. Early control is the best management tool we have.
Does a Pre Pay? Field Average – 50 bu Soybean Price – $9.30 Weed Height – 6 in Loss Potential – $27.90 Weed Height – 12 in
Loss Potential – $46.50

CORN DEVELOPMENT
Herbicide labels recommend applica0ons based on the stage of corn development, plant height or leaf stage. Corn plant height is the height of the highest arch of the highest leaf. This is less accurate compared to other staging methods. Leaf Collar Method: This staging method is the most common. Count all leaves including the fist leaf with a rounded 8p which have formed a collar. Example pictured. Droopy Leaf Method: Most commonly used by crop insurance adjusters. The last leaf counted is the uppermost leaf that is 40 to 50 percent exposed fro the whorl. Its leaf 8p is usually beginning to droop. Corn plant development can be divided into vegeta0ve (V) and reproduc0ve (R) stages. It is important to op0mize produc0on prac0ces during the vegeta0ve stages as this is where poten0al yield is established. Vegeta0ve Stages • VE Spike or emergence • V1 One leaf with collar visible • V2 Two leaves with collars visible • V(n) (n) leaves with visible collars • VT Last branch of tassel is completely visible Reproduc0ve Stages • R1 Silking Silks are visible outside the husks • Pollina0ng Most cri8cal period of yield poten8al • R2 Blister Kernels are whist and resemble a blister shape • R3 Milk Kernels are yellow on the outside with a milky inner fluid • R4 Dough Milky inner fluid thickens to a pasty consistency • R5 Dent Nearly all kernels are den8ng • R6 Physiological Maturity The black abscission layer has formed. Milk line is no longer evident.

SO YBEAN DEVELOPMENT
Soybean plant development is divided into vegeta2ve (V) and reproduc2ve (R) stages. The V stages following the VC are numbered according to the uppermost fully developed leaf node. Start with the unifoliate leaf node when coun2ng the number of fully developed leaf nodes. A leaf node is fully developed when the leaf above it has leaflets which are fully unrolled. The leaflet edges are no longer touching.
Vegeta2ve Stage VE Emergence VC Cotyledon V1 Unifoliate and first trifoliate leaves fully developed V(n) Unifoliate and (n) trifoliate leaves are fully developed. Reproduc2ve Stage R1 Open flower are any node R2 Open flower at one of the two uppermost nodes with a fully developed leaf R3 Pod is 3/16 inch long at one of the four upper-‐most nodes with fully developed leaf R4 Pod is 3/4 inch long at one of the four upper-‐most nodes with fully developed leaf R5 Seeds is 1/8 inch long at one of the four upper-‐most nodes with fully developed leaf R6 Pod contains green seed that fully fills pod at one of the four upper-‐most nodes with fully developed leaf R7 One normal pod has reached its mature pod color R8 95% of the pods have reached their mature pod color
