A Helena Product Specialist says corn farmers shouldn’t be too quick to eliminate a fungicide pass this season.
Brad Hammes based in Iowa tells Brownfield growers aren’t seeing many disease threats yet because of low humidity early in the season.
“If you’re not as high on your ability to be profitable this year as a grower, that would certainly be an opportunity to maybe not make a second pass of a fungicide.” But while there hasn’t been a lot of disease risk yet, he says the long-term forecast indicates that could change.
