Escalate™ is a proprietary mix of yield enhancing products that come standard on all Beck's seed to improve stands, seedling health, and yield. Escalate is included in the price of Beck's seed and provides additional bushels per acre yield benefit compared to untreated seed.


Beck's History of Seed Enhancement Innovation:

Escalate is the latest in Beck's long history of industry leading premium seed coatings. Beck's has evaluated seed treatment products for several years, however, in 1996, Becks was the first to introduce a complete seed coating system to the soybean market called Sure Gro™. In 2001, Beck's was the first company to provide a seed applied insecticide system called FaSTart™ as standard in every bag of corn. In 2004, Beck's was the first to make the revolutionary Sure Gro protection system standard in every bag of soybeans. Once again, Beck's Hybrids will lead the industry in combining the unique yield enhancing properties of Escalate and making it standard on every unit of Beck corn, soybeans, wheat and alfalfa.

Once again, Beck's will lead the industry in combining the unique yield enhancing properties of Escalate and making it standard on every unit of Beck corn, soybeans, wheat and alfalfa.

Escalate yield enhancement system gives Beck's growers the following improvements over untreated seed:

1) Better Emergence and Seedling Health -
          Escalate provides systemic and effective control of many common seedling diseases in corn,
          soybean, wheat, and alfalfa

2) Seedling Insect Control -
          Escalate provides effective early season control of common insects in corn, soybeans, and
          wheat resulting in improved stands, protected seedlings, and reduced exposure to insect
          vectored diseases and viruses.

3) Flexibility/Peace of Mind -
          With Escalate, growers can plant crops earlier to maximize yield potential and still have
          protection from many common early season insects and diseases.

4) Convenience -
          Escalate is a complete fungicide/insecticide package, so you save time, money, and avoid seed
          degradation and quality issues associated with adding treatments just prior to planting. In
          addition, Escalate often eliminates the need for some early season foliar insecticides.

5) Enhanced Yield-
          Over 12 bushels per acre in corn, more than 4 bushels per acre in soybeans, and
          4 to 7 bushels per acre yield advantage in wheat compared to untreated seed.
