Challenge
How to take good wheat crop yields to the next level increasing both yields and profits.
Solution
Treat wheat seed with Stoller’s Bio-Forge applied at a rate of 4 oz. per hundredweight.

Density of Bio-Forge treated wheat created a pronounced line in the field. Closer inspection showed that the Bio-Forge treated wheat had:
- Slightly shorter stalks and more robust grain heads
- Higher test weight
- Reduced lodging
- Increased yields by 12 bu/acre
