What Beck’s set out to test
The purpose of this study is to evaluate various starter additive products, applied in-furrow, and their effects on yield and profitability.
What they found

The soils at this location are traditionally wetter and tend to harbor more disease pressure in the spring. Applying fungicides in-furrow can provide protection. Given the cooler spring temperatures Beck's experienced in 2023, these results are not surprising.
