IL | Harvesting my field of 3rd yr corn, I was pondering those exact thoughts. I wondered if it would be $ beneficial to arial apply a fungicide at the right time to head off those nasty diseases. I had three different hybrids in this field. Most of it was chiseled, FC in Jan (was fit to work) then stale bed planted. Some was just disked once last fall. 2 CB BT's, 1 RW. The CB hybrids shone thru over the RW hybrid. I think it was more base genetics than the RW part. Tho the ECB hit hard here this year. This field still yielded as well as most of my C/SB rotation fields. Next year, 4th yr, it will be all strips. Along with a good disease resistant variety, what would I be looking at in fungicides, timing, $ etc. just trying to learn | |
