Methodology

R444SSTX, a 94 day hybrid, was planted in 30-inch rows at 33,000 seeds/ac in Kingsbury Co. on May 2, 2023. Before planting, the seed was treated with BioniQ at the labeled rate.  The contents of this product are listed in the document below the yield maps.  The corn was planted in nine strips that were each 40 ft. wide.  Corn was harvested on 10/5/23 – 10/7/23.

Results

Seed treated with BioniQ yielded 2.1 bu/ac lower than corn not receiving the product.  This was greater than 1.3 bu/ac, and therefore considered significantly different at a 90% confidence level (Table 1).  Additional testing of this product would be beneficial, as results may be different in future trials.
