3 Global demand for cereals is predicted to increase by billions of tonnes well into the future. It s a great opportunity for growers to increase production in wheat, barley and oats Production Utilization 2400 Million tonnes Demand for cereals is on the rise /04 05/06 07/08 09/10 11/12 13/14 (forecast) Source: Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations, May 2013 Discover how innovative fungicides from BASF work together at three critical stages in cereal crop development to help you achieve maximized yield potentials and quality grades. It s a great time to supply the demand of a growing world.

4 The burn that helps you earn. For the ultimate burndown this spring. Fast, consistent weed control up to the 8 leaf stage. Complements and improves your Roundup application. Unique Group 14 chemistry for management of resistant weeds. In a pre-seed application, we use Heat with glyphosate and it burns down the weeds very fast. We find it s very effective on kochia and narrow-leaf hawk s beard. Dale Ewen, Riverhurst, SK

Source: AgSolutions Performance Trials, 2009, N=97 Volunteer canola (all types) Kochia (including resistant biotypes) Wild buckwheat Kochia Cleavers Glyphosate-tolerant canola Heat + Merge Heat + Merge Heat + Merge Resistant kochia, cleavers and volunteer glyphosate-tolerant canola before and 7 days after an application of Heat plus Merge*. Use rate 640 acres/case Heat (10.5 g/ac) + Merge* (0.2 L/ac) + glyphosate* Application timing Pre-seed Pre-emergence (before ground crack) *Merge adjuvant and glyphosate are sold separately.

6 Expect more from your cereal seed treatment. Disease control and AgCelence benefits, specifically designed for Canadian growing conditions. Controls key seedling diseases, including fusarium. Quicker, more even seedling emergence and increased seedling vigour even under cold, adverse conditions. More uniform crop emergence allows evenly staged, effective in-crop treatments. Increased root biomass and larger shoot systems. Insure treated plants showed longer roots (than) the comparison treated plants had thicker leaves and were taller than the comparison.

8 There s more to Twinline than disease control. Gain the most when there s most to gain. Applied at flag leaf to protect the stage that contributes the most to a crop s yield potential. Multiple modes of action for more sustainable disease control. Unique AgCelence plant health benefits 1 of greener leaves, stronger stems and better management of minor stress 2. 1 AgCelence benefits refer to products containing the active ingredient, pyraclostrobin. 2 Comparisons are to untreated unless otherwise stated. We did a couple of different yield trials and we ended up with between 8 and 11 bushels an acre more using Twinline over check. Ron Krahn, Rivers, MB

9 Ear Flag Leaf - Leaf 1 Leaf 2 Leaf 3 Leaf 4 The stage from flag leaf to second leaf contributes most to a cereal crop s total yield. Leaf Percentage Source: HGCA Wheat disease management guide, Sustainable disease control of major leaf diseases. Untreated Twinline Source: AgSolutions Performance Trials, Castor, AB Use rate 80 acres/case L/ac Application timing For optimal benefits, apply at the flag leaf stage.

10 Deliver the quality you ve worked hard for. Preventative protection against disease at heading. Effective control of later-season foliar diseases. Proven protection against fusarium head blight (FHB). Reduces deoxynivalenol (DON) contamination to preserve grade quality. I think that Caramba worked really well. I sprayed it on all my Durum and Spring Wheat and I got number 1. I am very impressed. I like the product and I will definitely be using it again. Mike Ents, Bow Island, SK

Untreated Caramba Source: Prairie Home Colony, AB, 2011 Use rate to L/ac 40 acres/case L/ac Application timing For control of leaf diseases, apply at the onset or prior to disease symptoms. For fusarium head blight, apply at heading.
