BASF launches Real Results Yield Challenge to show farmers firsthand the benefits of performance-driven fungicides

Over the last 20 years, BASF fungicides have protected an estimated 30 billion bushels and 260 million acres of corn and soybeans. As commodity prices and environmental pressures increasingly factor into farmer decision making, only an estimated 45 per cent of corn and soybean acres were protected by fungicide applications in 2024. As a result, BASF is launching its largest yield challenge ever, the Real Results Yield Challenge, providing farmers and their local retailers greater access and support to stage yield trials with Veltyma®, Revytek® and Revylok™ fungicides across all key geographies

″With the Real Results Yield Challenge, we want to give farmers doing the Biggest Job on Earth the opportunity to see firsthand the yield potential that is being left in their field by not protecting their acres with BASF performance-driven fungicides,″ said Scott Kay, Vice President, BASF Agricultural Solutions U.S. ″We are confident in our performance-driven fungicide innovations and believe seeing is believing. In more than 1,000 large-scale nationwide head-to-head comparisons over three years, BASF performance-driven fungicides outperformed other corn and soybean fungicides more than 80 per cent of the time.″

Participants will be able to experience the results and benefits of BASF performance-driven fungicides in their own fields, while comparing the results against their current approach. Farmers interested in participating in the Real Results Yield Challenge are encouraged to contact their BASF authorized retailer or local BASF representative.
