The MiField Applied Research testing program gives growers the opportunity to conduct trials on their farms, in their growing conditions, with their farming practices to prove out yield and income for their operation. All YieldON trials follow the same testing protocols, and the analyses provided are based the same average cost for all inputs, and the same corn sale price.
2021 Corn Trial Set
In the 2021 crop season, the MiField® Applied Research grower’s testing program, conducts trial protocols to test corn response to YieldON. Treated acres averaged +4.0 bu/A better than untreated. While the data set was regional, the strong positive yield response identifies YieldON as an effective stress mitigation tool in corn. The low breakeven threshold for yield supported a net income of +$12.20/A.

2-Year Corn Trends
Due to differing growing environments, applications of foliar biostimulants impacting corn yields were slightly lower in the 2021 trials than in the previous year’s MiField® Applied Research testing. When considering the adoption of adding foliar biostimulants like YieldON to planned applications, we analyzed corn response over two years. The corn acres treated with YieldON produced +6.6 bu/A better when compared to untreated acres. Applying economics to yield response, the 2-year trend for ROI was +$16.38/A across a total of 26 trials.

Testing YieldON for Stress Mitigation Benefits
The High Yield Corn protocol in the MiField Applied Research trial program allows farmers to test the yield response to a comprehensive stress mitigation package.

Acres treated with the High Yield Corn package yielded +11 bu/A better than the untreated control acres. Yield impacts of proactive stress mitigation measures varied from +5 to +18 bu/A and a net income of +34.60/A.
