Get the Most Coverage from your Fungicide

Good spray coverage means good disease control

When you invest in a fungicide application, you want to ensure you’re maximizing its disease control potential. One way to do that is by adding an adjuvant like MasterLock® to the tank mix. MasterLock optimizes droplet size to reduce drift potential and help ensure more product penetrates into the canopy. It also contains a surfactant to cover more leaf surface area. That helps ensure you’re getting the most value from your fungicide treatments. WinField® United Answer Plot® data has shown a 5.7-bushel-per-acre average yield increase in corn when MasterLock is added to the spray tank along with a fungicide, compared to using a fungicide alone.

Effective disease control depends on good fungicide coverage. It’s not about the ounces of product per acre that you spray — what’s important is that the active ingredient is actually reaching the plant. Improve fungicide performance by adding MasterLock to your tank. Contact us to learn about other ways to maximize the return on investment potential of your fungicide applications.

Well, we’re finally on the downhill side of winter. In my opinion, we’ve got it pretty good in southern Wisconsin as we normally only see three months of weather that can be brutally cold and that comes in streaks. If you think back to late November when we started seeing temperatures drop into the 30s, it seemed horrible. I spend a fair amount of my time outside, so after the cold snap in January, as soon as it got above freezing, I was ready to break out the t shirts and shorts. It’s funny what you can get used to.

On January 15th, Premier Cooperative held its 132nd annual meeting at WI Riverside Resort in Spring Green, WI. As part of the financial report, Premier CFO Andy Jones reported your cooperative had a very strong year with gross sales of $275 million and local net earnings of $16.7 million for fiscal year 2024, compared to the prior year sales at $308 million and $15.1 million in earnings. While total sales were down from prior years due to declining commodity prices, strong unit growth led by our feed and agronomy divisions, combined with solid performance from our energy and retail divisions helped to improve upon last year’s record local net savings.
