Albert Lea, MN: Richard Stadheim represents the 4th generation of a family steeped in farming. Needless to say, he has a wealth of experience that helps him appreciate when something simply works. This year, he really appreciated Trivapro® fungicide.

“Disease pressure [in the area] wasn’t as evident this year as in the past, but where we used Trivapro fungicide on the corn, we definitely saw a positive result,” Stadheim said.

With three active ingredients, Trivapro delivers long-lasting disease control and crop enhancement benefits like stronger stalks, healthier roots and bigger ears that maximize yield potential. Compared to those treated with other fungicides, Stadheim said his Golden Harvest® Corn protected by Trivapro not only looked better, it also yielded as much as 15 bu/A more than untreated areas of his farm.

“I like that Trivapro has a longer activation window and a longer residual,” he said. “That was why I thought, well, if this has a longer time that it can work, then it can be yield positive.”

With the results he saw, experience says Trivapro will be back on the farm in 2017.

The Harvest Chasers caught up with grower Richard Stadheim on his Minnesota farm to learn how Trivapro fungicide performed this season.
