The purpose of this study is to evaluate various fungicide applications, applied at the R3 growth stage, to determine their impact on yield and profitability.

2018 Southern Kentucky Soybean Fungicide Study - Foliar

Disease pressure was relatively low during most of the growing season this year, but even in the absence of foliar disease symptoms, all fungicide products tested provided a positive yield gain. For many pathogens that infect soybeans, there is a “latent period” in which the disease is present but has yet to express itself visually in the plant. However, these diseases can still be detrimental to yield while in the latent period. An R3 growth stage fungicide application can help shut down or stop the progression of these infections.
