“Chemical management strategies do not result in complete control of white mold and, therefore, should be considered only as one component of an integrated management program. Reduction of white mold incidence achieved by fungicides in university field trials has ranged from zero to approximately 60%.”

“This research found no negative effect on plant stand and soybean yield from phytotoxicity caused by ILEVO® and/or preemergence herbicides...This means that ILEVO® did not increase seedling damage from herbicides and herbicides did not increase damage from ILEVO®.”

Only a few herbicides are formulated with an adjuvant package that can optimize application in every scenario. Herbicides often need additional adjuvants to optimize application for specific conditions.

No one likes DON. The mycotoxin, that is. Hot off the press: the 2025 corn hybrid screening trial report. https://t.co/5cNhmdNi4d Use as one tool to manage the risk of DON mycotoxin in corn.

Biochemical pesticides are naturally occurring substances that control pests by non-toxic mechanisms.

Microbial pesticides consist of a microorganism as the active ingredient.

Plant-Incorporated Protectants (PIPs) are pesticidal substances that plants produce from genetic material that has been added to the plant.

Increase your understanding of biopesticides. Check out "Biopesticides for Crop Disease Management" from Extension at https://t.co/5lcfukxgNk

“Overall, fungicide seed treatments against Pythium-like species increased emergence at growth stages VC and V2 to V6 and provided a positive yield response compared with the non-treated control.”
