Fungicides
Many bean crops are somewhere between R2 to R4 right now, prime time for a foliar application if disease or insects warrant. Check out our agronomist’s video on staging your crop to get optimum ROI.
Ken Ferrie outlines various treatment scenarios, depending on what farmers find in their fields. He cautions that severe infections can easily cause 60-bu.-per-acre yield losses.
As of mid-June, nearly 20 counties across four states have already reported fields with tar spot. Timing fungicide applications will be critical to keep the disease from getting out of control.
The deal is expected to close at the end of June.
There are at least 30 fungicides labeled for suppression or control of tar spot in corn with a FIFRA 2(ee) recommendation.
Tymirium and Adepidyn are both fungicides, while Plinazolin is an insecticide and Syngenta’s fastest-growing technology to date.
Judge for yourself: Travis McCormick’s DOES IT PAY fungicide trial reaped a major yield increase.
WinField introduced the BioVerified program earlier this year to help bring clarity to the biological marketplace.
Just because tar spot was mostly a no-show in 2022 and 2023 doesn’t mean that will be the case in 2024. Charting humidity levels can help predict if the disease will strike.
Drone application has a lot of advantages for farmers and ag retailers, but it may not be the right choice for everyone.
“We’re living in a world where it’s just a matter of time,” Harlan Asmus says referencing the development of resistance.
David Heublein won the conventional, non-irrigated category of the 2023 NCGA yield contest for the state. The amazing yield was grown with only one-third of the total rainfall his fields usually get in a growing season.
It’s no surprise those who chase high-yield honors set aside acres for that very purpose. However, there’s something to learn from the management practices that go into growing a record crop.
Under the agreement, Loveland Products will commercialize two new crop protection products containing Ascribe’s biofungicide, Phytalix.
According to FMC, growers who use the product will find healthier root systems, improved plant stands and decreased lodging in their crops – potentially contributing to better yields.
As farmers have grown more aware of expanded options for buying inputs, retailers have invested in how they are part of the party.
Samuel Taylor, senior analyst for farm inputs at Rabobank, shares what to watch for the fertilizer, seed and crop protection price outlook.
The company says it has three-fold benefits: long-lasting yield protection, premium disease control, and effective resistance management.
The licensing agreement comes after two years of the companies conducting independent field trials.
Corn growers in 13 states have confirmed tar spot outbreaks now. Iowa leads the pack with the disease reported in at least 36 counties. Indiana is a close second. “It’s starting to explode,” one agronomist says.
Wilbur-Ellis will offer the product for control of tar spot, common rust, Gray leaf spot, Northern corn leaf blight and Southern corn leaf blight for certain corn belt states.
“This is the earliest we’ve reported tar spot in Iowa,” says Robertson, Iowa State professor of plant pathology. She says the early detection could be due to the Tarspotter app. Here’s how it works.
Flattened corn can often recover, stand and produce decent yields. Soybeans can shake off a storm and flourish, but beware spider mites in the next 10 days if temperatures stay 85-plus degrees with low humidity.
Growers in California have a new tool to control Powdery Mildew starting this season. Lallemand Plant Care announced today the registration of LALSTOP G46 WG for use against Powdery Mildew.
Row spacing is getting a closer look from farmers who are evaluating the practices that contribute most to soybean yield. Agronomic experts offer their insights here to help growers heading to the field this week.
Before planting even starts, diseases are likely on soil residue. That includes tar spot. While many believe rainfall and temperatures are key tar spot drivers, Agronomist Missy Bauer says there’s a third indicator.
Unlike the early tar spot problem farmers experienced in 2021, the disease wasn’t first reported in Indiana until August this year. Darcy Telenko studies the timing of fungicide applications in battling tar spot.
Actinovate can be used to protect crops against diseases including downy mildew, fusarium, phytophthora and many more. Actinovate becomes active in the soil when the temperature is above 45 F.
Ace 3.8L ST contains Ipconazole–the same active ingredient found in Rancona 3.8 FS.
