Fungicide timing matters when controlling white mold

White mold continues to plague dry beans, and part of the problem remains that figuring out how to optimize fungicide timing, a plant pathologist who has studied white mold management for years says. Michael Wunsch, research plant pathologist at the North Dakota State University Carrington Research Extension Center, at the North Dakota State University Carrington Research Extension Center, has worked on figuring out the best row spacing and drop…

Yield Impact of Fungicides on Drought-Stressed Corn in 2024

RALEIGH, N.C. — Commercially available foliar fungicides (Table 1) were evaluated for their impact on disease and yield responses. Under favorable conditions for disease development (i.e., wet and humid weather), foliar infections can cause premature leaf senescence, reduce photosynthetic capacity, and lower yields. This trial was conducted at the Piedmont Research Station in Salisbury, NC, in a non-irrigated field. Corn hybrid ‘DKC59-82 VT2P 20…
