Not Every Fungicide Can Pass This Test

The best way to battle low commodity prices is to maximize yield. After choosing the right soybean variety for every field, a grower’s next step should be choosing a crop protection program to match, including a top-performing fungicide.

“If you have a favorable environment to grow corn and soybeans, you’re going to have ideal conditions for disease,” says Bond McInnes, fungicide technical manager with DuPont Crop Protection. “These crops grow well in moisture, heat and humidity and so do fungal diseases that thrive on and under dense leaf canopies and near the soil surface. Fungal pathogens including northern corn leaf blight, soybean white mold, gray leaf spots and rusts threaten plant health and yield.”
