Foliar Fungicides

Why use a foliar Fungicide

Keep leaves healthy & intact:

• Diseases limit surface area for photosynthesis.
• Less photosynthesis = lower sugar production = lower yield!

Lower the production of Ethylene:

• Ethylene = responsible for ripening
• Higher ethylene levels = faster maturity = less grain fill days.

Lower’s plants respiration:

• Respiration is the burning of sugars to keep the plant cool at night.
• Lower respiration rates = more sugar available for grain production = higher yields.

When to use a foliar Fungicide

• Best Option @ Tassel – Provides Optimal ROI
• 2nd Option = V10 – Easier ground application option
• Optional Option = R3 – Maximize grain fill and TW
