Soybean Fungicide and Foliars

As corn begins to tassel across our area, fungicide applications on corn will be getting underway over the next week. As summer continues, it is also time to start thinking about soybean fields and getting them on the schedule for fungicide applications. Planning ahead helps ensure fields are treated at the optimum growth stage for the best return.

Over the past 10 years, soybean fungicide applications in our area have consistently provided a positive return on investment. When fungicide is paired with a quality foliar nutrition product, those results have often been even better. Protecting plant health during the critical reproductive stages can help maximize yield potential.

Fungicide applications have proven their value over the years by producing larger seed size, improving standability, and reducing harvest losses from shattering. Those benefits all contribute to putting more bushels in the tank and more dollars in the producer's pocket at the end of the season. Every bushel saved at harvest is one that adds directly to the bottom line.

If you would like to get soybean fields on the schedule for fungicide and foliar nutrition applications, or if you would simply like to scout fields and discuss the potential advantages for your operation, contact your local SFG agronomist. We would be happy to evaluate your fields and help develop a management plan that fits your goals.
