The purpose of this study is to utilize Precision Planting’s FurrowJet attachments to apply starter fertilizers through the wings and various fungicide products through the center that are not compatible through a single in-furrow application, in an attempt to increase yield and profitability.

2017 Ohio Corn Fungicide Placement Study - FurrowJet™

The extreme rainfall we experienced this spring allowed us to evaluate different hybrids for many of the seedling diseases that thrive in cool, wet soil conditions. For reasons unknown, one observation we made this year was that BECK 6076SXbrand appeared to show more susceptibility to Pythium, which is a water mold that requires water to the roots of plants. While it appears that infection was not severe enough to cause a reduction in stand, it could have potentially limited yield. While we don’t know for certain that Pythium was the cause of lost yield, all the fungicides tested provided protection from Pythium. The largest advantages observed were with TopGuard Terra® and Proline® 480 SC. Of note, the industry-leading protection from Beck’s Escalate™ 

 appears to have provided sufficient control of early-season seedling disease in XL® 5828AM™*brand.
