Early Fungicide Application Considerations

Disease pressure is the most important factor determining the value of a fungicide application. When weather conditions are conducive for foliar diseases, a fungicide application can be beneficial. Continuous corn and minimum tillage fields are at a higher risk of foliar disease and more likely to benefit from a fungicide application due to greater amounts of surface residue harboring pathogens from the previous corn crop. Eleanor Aufdenkamp, Pioneer Field Agronomist, and Caleb Fields, Pioneer Sales Representative, discuss the importance of preventative fungicide applications as well as considerations for corn growers.
