At Five Star Cooperative, our Crop Performance lineup helps protect your investment and bring out the best in every acre. We offer proven crop protection and next-generation performance solutions tailored to Midwest conditions.
Weeds, insects, and disease can all threaten plant health and reduce yield. We source products from trusted manufacturers like Syngenta, Bayer, Corteva, BASF, FMC, and others. Many are tested in our local fields, so we know how they perform under real Midwest conditions — including soil types, disease pressure, and weather patterns.
To push yields higher, we offer a full range of crop performance tools. These help improve plant health, boost nutrient efficiency, and support better results across the season. Our customized strategies may include:
Early defense against insects and disease, plus stronger roots.
Foliar, in-furrow, and dry options to correct deficiencies and support growth.
Natural products that enhance roots, improve uptake, and build plant strength.
Stabilizers and plans that keep nitrogen in place and available when needed.
Products that help herbicides work better and reduce drift.
We talk a lot about nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, and sulfur — but micronutrients like zinc, boron, and manganese are just as important. These trace elements are needed in small amounts, but a lack of just one can limit yield, increase stress, or affect how plants absorb other nutrients.
Micronutrients help with vital processes like chlorophyll production, enzyme function, and hormone activity. When balanced with macronutrients, they help the plant use energy more efficiently.
At Five Star, we offer precision nutrient products and services to correct deficiencies and deliver balanced nutrition — so your crops grow stronger and more resilient.
Biologicals are one of the fastest-growing areas in ag. These are natural or organic products that support plant growth, improve nutrient availability, and defend against stress and disease.
In Midwest conditions, biologicals help:
We work with trusted partners to bring you field-proven biologicals that deliver results where it matters — in your fields.
