Headline Fungicide is the leader in disease control and plant health. There is a reason why growers use Headline Fungicide on more corn and soybean acres than all other fungicides combined! Powerful Protection in Corn • Maximize Yield - (11.2 bu/Ac. increase in 2010) in over 3,200 side-by-side comparisons • Minimize Risk - Headline improves plant tolerance to drought, heat, cold and ozone stress • Improve standability and harvest efficiency with healthier and stronger corn stalks We are taking fungicide application orders, and therefore will be glad to meet with you and go over your field maps and answer any questions or concerns. Ask Kurtz Aviation how you can save $50/gal. between now and August 15. We look forward to working with you in making 2011 a prosperous year in agriculture.
