It's time to hit the rewind button and unpack what happened in 2024, and discover what we can learn from it.
On today's episode, Agronomy Managers Eric Wilson and Ryan Gentle discuss fungicide. The duo dives into Wyffels' homegrown research/timing studies to offer advice on fungicide decisions.
Fungicide applications are tools corn growers can use to achieve maximum corn yields. Fungicide treatments are proven to protect yield potential when leaf diseases are present and improve plant health and standability at harvest.
Scouting for disease is the best way to determine which fields would show a positive response to a fungicide application. But considering other factors such as field history, weather, and hybrid disease tolerance is also important.Links discussed in this episode:

It's time to hit the rewind button and unpack what happened in 2024, and discover what we can learn from it.
On today's episode, Agronomy Managers Eric Wilson and Jared Goplen discuss denitrification. Any time the Corn Belt experiences large amounts of rain (like some areas did this spring) it raises questions about possible N loss and the need for supplemental N applications. Understanding the factors which influence nitrogen loss can help you determine your specific situation and aid in making informed decisions.
Nitrogen is one of the most expensive inputs in corn production. So, it is a decision that needs careful attention, because when we fall short on nitrogen it can be a very costly mistake.
