As an aside, I find the concept of a single appliction of fungicide being effective strange.
On potatoes here in the Northeast it is very common to go on with fungicides 7-10 times or more, to protect against late and early blight mostly, plus other diseases. Depending on weather, we generally start when the plants are 10-14 inches, and keep spraying until they are done growing and the vines are dead. This year with the wet and cold June and July there was a lot of money spent on fungicides, and many went to a 5 day schedule.
I understand potatoes aren't corn, but how can a single application be so effective?
Very good point Plotski, for a High $$$ vegetable crop the correct inputs along with Positive results can be achieved and will reward the grower !
With the pricing of Corn fungicides Only One application can even be considered potentially Profitable if at all !!! |
