Be sure what is in (or not in!) your fungicide surfactant!
Some individuals are calling for fungicide applications to begin now...
Prior to tassel fungicide applications made with a surfactant must be APE/NPE FREE!!!
If your surfactant has APE/NPE in them, a before tassel application could likely result in arrested ear syndrome, causing very large yield losses!!!
Be sure to check what you are applying if you are going before tassel!
On a side note, I do not feel fungicide applications should begin now in the geography that I cover.
🇧🇷Cargill has paused soybean exports from Brazil to China due to the implementation of stricter sanitary inspections at the request of the Chinese government.
Now you see it... now you don't. Same corn/waterhemp plant..
One of the reasons for spraying your post herbicide pass around V2-V3... as crop canopy increases, more weeds will be hidden from the spray pattern, along with residuals not covering the soil under the crop canopy.
Corn herbicide time in NE IA!!
Due to winds and cool temps, V4-V5 corn is short this year. Be aware of stage, not plant ht for post dicamba application. If you have PowerCore Enlist or Vorceed hybrid planted, you may consider using Enlist herbicide. Crop safety and flexibility on crop stage. @PioneerSeeds
