HopperStart™ CN
Corn seed lubricant with microbes
This all-in-one hopperbox treatment combines a soybean-based planter/ seed lubrication system that has been used on millions of Midwest crop acres with a product proven to increase yields & ROI. This provides several distinct advantages over traditional talc and graphite.

WHAT IS IT?

Soybean based amino acid fluency agent
➔ This soy-protein derived from dehulling soybeans was developed as an alternative seed lubricant with benefits over traditional talc/graphite Terrasym, proven to increase yields!
➔ A Beck's PFR Proven biological hopper box additive included in HopperSTART CN!
THE DATA:
Beck's PFR tested Terrasym (Included in HopperStart CN) and found a 3.8 Bu./A. yield increase over 3 years of testing. The yield increases ranged from 2.7 Bu./A. - 4.6 Bu./A.

WHY USE IT?

Increased Yield & ROI!
➔ Terrasym, tested in Beck's Practical Farm Research Program, is a Beck's PFR Proven product, demonstrating a 3.8 bu./A. yield increase over 3 years of testing. In the three years of testing, yield increases ranged from 2.7 bu./A. to 4.6 bu./A.
➔ Terrasym improves nutrient uptake by increasing early season root mass. This leads to a plant with enhanced abiotic stress tolerance.

The soybean based amino acid fluency agent is superior to talc and graphite in several ways:
➔ Significant reduction in dust generated compared to talc
➔ Greatly reduced release of neonicotinoids in the environment, saving bees and enhancing natural pollination
➔ Comparable flowability and singulation to commercially available seed lubricants

It's a source of Amino Acids
➔ Soy protein is an ideal source of amino acids, which promotes better seed germination and biological activity in the furrow

HOW TO USE IT

CORN:
Completely replace your graphite and talc with HopperSTART CN. HopperSTART CN comes with a convenient measuring scoop for applying at a rate of .5 oz./unit of seed. One, 20 ounce bag of HopperSTART CN, will treat one box of corn. HopperSTART CN has a 2 year shelf life.

Testimonials

We are in an area with very high rainfall events this Spring. The corn treated with HopperStart CN from Yield Innovations appeared to emerge faster and more uniform.

By using different products, whether it was planting time or foliar, tweaks to our nitrogen management, hybrid selection or whatever it was… the last two years our yields have just been UNBELIEVABLE! From where we have been the prior 10–20 years to the unbelievable jump we have made the past two years in 2022 and 2023… it’s a testament to the products, the company, the relationship with the people. It’s just been unbelievable!
We have been working the past several years with Yield Innovations to develop a systems approach for our unique farm. It's been a great yield journey, learning the agronomics behind WHY we are putting together the specific products into our system that we are. We are seeing progress and excited for the future with Yield Innovations as a key partner.
