2009 Yield Data for YIELD IGNITER and IGNITER 98
As of 12/6/2009 (we will continually update this page as we have data)

121 side by side comparisons

^On CSR rating range from 60’s-90’s (more definition as we have more data)

^^On variety of fertility and tillage (again more breakdown as we have data)

^^^We are also sprayed at inoptimal plant growth stages in some cases, which lowers our average response, but we are reporting all numbers as a group

85 out of 121 comparisons showed positive response (70%)

Yield:  7.27  bushel average increase (3 times return on investment, based on optimal rate of 2.7 pints per acre, 
all comparison where sprayed at this input rate)

2009 was a limiting year in Midwest in widespread area. In particular, Iowa, Minnesota, Illinois in terms of excess moisture, cool summer-time temperatures (especially August) and a very late fall harvest. Yields have been good in some cases, but test weights have been well below average, with in field corn moisture being way above average.

2007/2008 data shows over 80% response with average of 8.4 bushel average increase, based on 2.7 pint per acre, input rate. The figures are based on larger % of optimal growth stage sprayings.

Research has shown we are setting the stage, for a yield increase, by building a bigger more vibrant corn plant. Results are at least dependent on soil, fertility, tillage and weather.
YIELD IGNITER and IGNITER 98

MID-Year Update from:
2009 USDA National Soil Tilth Lab/ISU Research Farm
Dan Olk, Research Soil Scientist
Findings to be published:

  1. Consistent and significant root mass increase in early growth stage of corn plants. Bulk roots and finer roots especially. Multiple plots and multiple replications.

  1. Consistent and significant biomass increase in early growth stage of corn plants. Multiple plots and multiple replications.

  1. Earlier silking and pollination documented. Multiple plots and multiple replications.

  1. Increased photosynthesis documented, via stoma cell activity. Among other things, this reflects more water availability to corn plant. Multiple plots and multiple replications.

Future events:

  1. Statewide yield check on 100+ farms from On Farm Spraying Program.

  2. USDA to collect yield data and hardened root samples from all plots.

  3. USDA to do statistical analysis of above and measure nutrient uptake from ground corn plants.

  4. USDA to continue research in 2010 to document soil activity.

  5. USDA considering partnering with Land Grant University to research benefits to other crops: i.e. alfalfa, wheat, potatoes, turf grass.

  1. Innovative Crop Solutions and Ag Logic to speak in November of 2009 at American Society of Agronomy in Pittsburg, will present research findings and yield data.

Early Conclusions:

  1. Replicated results, indicate that the application of Yield Igniter and Igniter 98 products from Innovative Crop Solutions and Ag Logic Distributors are creating stronger, healthier and higher yielding crops.

Based upon the evidence, we would encourage you to investigate for yourself.
