You know fungicides return more dollars per acre on your investment if there is significant disease pressure, especially with susceptible hybrids. Jason Gahimer, manager of Beck’s Practical Farm Research, says there are other ways to increase the likelihood of a higher yield response and better return on investment when applying fungicides.
His team examined these practices in PFR studies. They include selection of the right fungicide, proper timing of application vs. growth stage of corn, obtaining adequate coverage and applying at the best time of day.
