Fungicide season is here! If you haven’t already made plans or contacted me to get on the spray list but are interested please reach out ASAP. We are working with 6 helicopters and a plane this year. Everything is slated to be sprayed in 2 days or less.
Benefits of fungicide:
- Increased respiration for the plant. Allowing your plant to breathe easy will keep the plant building towards that end yield goal.
- Stalk integrity. One of the main benefits you will see out of fungicide is going to be a bigger more robust stalk to ensure it is going to stand until harvest.
- Nitrogen in the plant tissue. Keeping the energy level down through the above items will allow your plant to put all its effort towards grain fill.
- Less disease pressure. You will be reducing the overall plant stress which will keep your plants in a position to be less susceptible to disease. Particularly relevant for this year as we have been having several dewy mornings with fog. This is optimal for disease to set in.
We are over halfway to the finish line. Don’t let those yields get away now. Keep nurturing these plants along. They will thank you and so will your wallet. ;)
