Seeing some fungicide spray patterns like the photo below. Yield impact?
Seen a video on youtube from Nicole Sticklein posted in the last few days about it. She went out to field stripped like that and picked 32 years of each. Weighed them and it was right at 10 bushel difference FWIW.
Take care[/QUOTE
Not to steal the thread, but would most of you see the 10bu difference as a net loss? I assume after the increased drying cost, and the fungicide application and product cost, would result a negative return? It would be on my operation, but I cannot buy at the volume discounts that most can.
If you watch her video she explains that the 10bu difference is just the difference from a low rate to a higher rate since the whole field was applied but at an uneven rate due to poor application. Here the difference between applied and not applied is probably closer to 50+bu. If you have a 1000 ac of corn you could pay for a dryer the this year alone with the savings.
