New from Crop Protection Network: research-based guidance on hail injury and fungicide decisions in corn, co-authored by CORN Network member Dr. Dan Quinn. ๐ŸŒฝ
Fungicide is often considered after hail injury to corn due to the plant health statements present on many fungicide labels coupled with the natural desire to take action following a hailstorm. An Overview of Hail Injury and Fungicide Use on Corn provides info to evaluate the potential benefits of fungicide application, and make the most profitable management decisions following hail injury in corn in upcoming growing seasons.
